I have a 2000 V6, what else do i need to purchase to be able to use this exhaust set up? 1 answer

• To run a GT exhaust on your V6, you will have to purchase the PaceSetter Black Long Tube Headers Item #51056 along with the PaceSetter Offroad X-Pipe Item #51061. Then you will be able to install this GT exhaust for some awesome sound and performance just know that the long tube headers will only work with a manual transmission.

Do you have to purchase the off-road X-pipe in order to use this efficiently? I am planning on buying these for my 2000 GT convertible but was wondering if I have to buy the off-road X-pipe in order to get best results or if it will be fine either way? 2 answers

• With the stock exchaust you have now, you will have HP gains. But if your looking for the most, then yes the off road X pipe will give you that extra you want.

• No you do not have to have the xpipe works and sounds great with stock or aftermarket h or x pipe

What headers should I use with this exhaust? What headers ? 2 answers

• This is totally independent of your headers. You can install that with stock, shorty or long tube headers because the cat back connects to your mid pipe.

• I have the BBK chrome shortys on an off road H. Very happy.

Can this be installed in my driveway? Are they any problems with leaks? 2 answers

• It is possible to physically install the exhaust in a driveway used proper jackstands and safety precautions. But to prevent leaks and get best results, I would highly recommend taking your stang to a professional welder to have the peices welded together once you have the exhuast installed and situated under the vehicle. Keep tabs on the weld work for about the first week to check for leaks or breaks, etc. If nothing is apparent after the first week of regualr use, you're usually good to go.

• Yes you could with jacks but it would a whole lot easier on a lift. I would recommend you try to find a lift if you want to do it yourself
