|  Truck exhaust (V6) Ok guys..so maybe it's not a Ford, but I just got an '01 GMC Sonoma (but the Mustang is still my primary driver) and there aren't exactly message boards for them and I figured you might be able to help me. I can't stand driving a car I can't hear. What can I do to wake up the sound of this truck? I know it won't sound nearly as good as the Stang, but I just want something that doesn't sound like a ricer (you know...like a Briggs & Straton lawn mower?). Thanks guys. ------------------ 1984 1/2 GT350 (#842 Hatchback w/ T-tops), 302HO, Comp cams Xtreme Energy cam, Carter 625cfm carb, Weiand Stealth intake, MSD distributor, MSD coil, FMS 9mm wires, 1 5/8" MAC unequal shorties, 2 1/2" MAC Prochamber H-pipe, Flowmaster 2 chambers, KYBs, 16"x8" 4 lug Cobra Rs, Falken 245/45ZR16s |

| What engine does it have? I think borla makes exhaust for those vehicles, they're stainless steel and from what i've heard, they sound pretty good. I'm sure other companies make cat-back kits as well. A good cat back system should tone it up a bit, and i don't think it sounds like you really want to replace the cats or anything like that. Good luck ------------------ '84 Mustang 5.0 T5, FMS aluminum radiator & 180* thermostat, 1 5/8 shortys/2.5" duals, '88 GT tail lights and wheels, Holley 4160 4 BBL, smog pump idler, now with hi-po collapsed lifters in #3 or #4  |

| ugh be careful! I've heard some awfully ricey Xtremes running around here in redneck country USA. You can't find any mini-truck type message boards? There has to be some around...I'd do a search for Xtreme sites maybe... ------------------ Elisha (Mustangbelle) 1994 GT: Cartech intake,4.10s, full exhaust, and pulleys.

| Blech. No joke. I just got back from a trip to Indianapolis and saw a couple Xtremes like that. It jyst made me more determined to get a system that isn't like that. I wonder if gutting or removing the cat will help at all. Oh well...I'll figure something out. ------------------ 1984 1/2 GT350 (#842 Hatchback w/ T-tops), 302HO, Comp cams Xtreme Energy cam, Carter 625cfm carb, Weiand Stealth intake, MSD distributor, MSD coil, FMS 9mm wires, 1 5/8" MAC unequal shorties, 2 1/2" MAC Prochamber H-pipe, Flowmaster 2 chambers, KYBs, 16"x8" 4 lug Cobra Rs, Falken 245/45ZR16s |
