Was gonna get dual exhaust system - but I‘m thinking of just getting a performance muffler on my stock single exhaust as its significantly cheaper and I like the sound clip the shop showed me,but is that okay? will people make fun of me that its not dual? will it still be cool?
, check out Magnaflo.forget about what others think as an fyi a v6 doesn't sound that great with performance mufflerrun a sound clip first many 'dual exhaust' systems are one muffler into 2 end pipes anyway
If your front axle is broken, you wouldn't be going down the road at 70 mph, because you wouldn't be going at all. Find a different mechanic.
personally i find adding performance parts to economy cars repulsive to begin with, but i would not laugh. id tend to laugh over the dual exhaust though.
While I don't really have anything against V6 mustangs. I'd still personally I'd laugh at anyone trying to mod a pre-2011 V6 like it will do anythingsince anyone who does try really just shows how little they actually know about the car they have. Anybody who knows anything about mustangs knows those 3.8L's are only good for half decent gas mileage and nothing more. The engines were never designed for performance and so unless you feel like spending a fortune to rebuild the entire engine first putting duals or performance anything on them is waste of time and money Plus I know from personal experience that they DO NOT like high speeds as the front end on the 94-04 ones tends to get light at about 100MPH (and they are usually limited to 115 anyway) so really there is just no upside to doing anything more with the old V6's but just drive it, don't crash it, and get a GT or something w/ a V8 when you can better afford it (and the insurance)
Your mileage is going to depend on several factors. - does you engine oil get warm enough to boil off any condensed water in the oil pan? (probably yes, since you drive 2200 miles / month which is a lot of miles) - do you drive a lot of start and stop miles, or mostly highway miles? (start and stop, like taxi service is hard on an engine) - has your engine ever been rebuilt, and how many miles on the engine since the rebuild? - do you drive in dusty areas, and change the air filter every 12 months? - what is the condition of your bearings I have a BMW 3 series with has 96K miles, and I have used synthetic oil in it exclusively. The engine computer measures the driving cycle, oil temperature and other factors and calculates the miles between oil changes continuously. Initially, it was 15,000 miles, but it is now down to about 13 or 14K miles. You might want to switch to a synthetic oil and change it at 10K miles, but also use an engine oil analysis service to assess the quality of your oil at the 10K mile interval. ExxonMobil (mfr of Mobil1 synthetic oil) offers an oil analysis service with an online posting of the results for only $14 per use. See the link below for more info on ExxGard oil analysis.
