How much for dumps on the mustang?

[blakbearddelite]

What kind of money could I save by running dumps? A new catback is at least $500. How do you go about getting dumps? Do I just go to a muffler shop and have them weld my flowmasters into some piping? I figured I could save a little money and a little weight by going the dumped route. The only thing I don't like about the dumped set-up is not having muffler tips sticking out the cut-outs on the bumper.

I think Roush makes some inserts that are held on by double-sided tape and wrap around the rear bumper. You could also go and get a V-6 bumper. Sell yours to some kid with a V-6 that wants dual exhaust.

+1 vote for V6 bumper, sleeper look.

I think I've seen the Roush ones, and I didn't care for how they looked. They looked like they were taped on the bumper.

But back to the dumping

-1 for v6 bumper.

Someone has to make some sort of patch for the v8 bumper. asymmetrical bumpers look lame-ghey. and sorry but your car can't quite pull off the sleeper. its a v8 with dumps and a kenne belle

paint the section between the tips black or roll it up SRT-4 style

Yep, that's what they are. And $170 each, unpainted :nuts:

Dumps, yes. Do it. This doesn't really solve your 2.25 pipe problem if the mufflers are 2.25 inlet/outlet.

WHAT?! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!!!11

I was curious about that too. If new mufflers and custom piping is going to cost me $400, I might as well go with a new stainless catback for an extra $100.

The exhaust shop would need to bend 2 new sections of 2-1/2" pipe around 2 feet in length to route the cat back properly. Then they would need to weld turn downs onto the mufflers. I am not sure how much this would cost, but it would probably be in the neighborhood of $150-$200.

Not all shop will do it as well since the exhaust is required by law to exit the rear of the vehicle. I had to pay the shop cash under the table to do it as well.

So with the dumps, do they just hang off the mid-pipe a few feet? Since the bumper hangers are much further back when you have a catback, I'm assuming with dumps, they just hang off of the mid-pipe. I didn't know about the law on exhaust coming out the back of the car. I'm guessing it's that way for safety reasons as you don't have the exhaust filling up the interior of your car. Crap, I'm still on the fence with this one.

I would recommend them hanging off of the exhaust hangers in the stock location to both make the muffler more stable and not kill yourself with exhaust fumes.

 

[DanJ]

Those would offset the goofy looking open bumper cutouts nicely.

 

[blakbearddelite]

Holy heck those would! I think I'd like to bump up my stall next year to warrant a tire set-up like that.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I like the empty exhaust holes.....makes you think....what's this gut got goin on under there....

 

[blakbearddelite]

I spoke to my mechanic and he said he could fabricate what I need for $100-150. I just need to pick up some mufflers.

 

[greasy]

Sounds like you have your answer then

 

[blakbearddelite]

Someone on CMC is selling a used MAC pro 2.5" dump for $125. I think that would definitely be the cheaper option. Though he lives in Manhattan, IL. Don't know where that is, but it sounds far. Probably still worth checking out...

 

[greasy]

Not that bad, just south of Joliet. I would take a ride with ya.

 

[blakbearddelite]

Angel said there is one other guy selling dumps on CMC and that this guy was closer. He's going to send the link to me.

 

[blakbearddelite]

The other guy lives in Oak Lawn. I sent him a message asking if he was free to let me check them out this weekend. I'm definitely interested.

lol

a used set of dumps are affordable and easy to install, my brother has a set on his Mach 1.

If you have an aftermarket exhaust and are just looking for dumps, buy some turn down tips and weld/clamp those to your exhisting muffler.
I did it with my mustang and just brought a muffler shop my mufflers and told them to bend 2 90* elbows and cut them into dumps. You wont catch any crap if they arent on a car.

He has welded in flows on a stock catback. He wants to upgrade his pipe diameter from 2-1/4 to 2-1/2.

Here is a pic of what they look like. I may check them out on Thur night.
