Advice needed

[mj!4200]

I have an 04 Ford 3.0 v6 stock for most part ... My question is where do I find information on how to change out my whole exhaust system an what are my options really I've not been able to find much info out there if someone could point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it

Why are you changing it out? It should be stainless steel so it should last forever. Aftermarket exhausts normally just make things louder and a V-6 is gonna sound terrible if it’s louder. If it has any performance gains at all it won’t be noticeable.

There are very little performance parts for these motors. Headers - even less options.

keep it stock, but if you must get something. bite the bullet, take it to a custom exhaust shop. ask them these same questions and see their expression when you say you want to take a stock engine and dump cash into the pipes to see if you can gain 5 HP. then stand in a mirror and look at your expression as they hand you the "quote". I am sure it will be a priceless experience.

Hence I didn't flinch when I placed 3.5k into my custom V8 pipes. pay to play.

cheers

Almost nothing lasts forever.

Should be able to find replacement stuff from Walker if you’re just looking to replace a worn out, corroding exhaust system. For aftermarket stuff, start comparing prices at Summit, Jegs, etc. and get pricing from local shops. As mentioned, performance gains from custom exhaust are minimal, if that’s what you’re looking for.
