Default Exaust 89 I6

Hey everyone,

I just signed up for this forum and i have been wondering about an exaust system for my 89 inline6 4.9L. I want duals, put them on all my ford trucks in the past, but unsure of how it might sound coming out of my sixer. Anyone got experience with this.

With sound a hard thing to describe, I have found this link that is a fairly close match of the differences in how an exhaust sounds. First, click on the Harley. This is what a 5.4l Triton V8 sounds like with a decent exhaust. Then click on the Honda, and that is a VERY close sound of your I6 with a good dual exhaust. Pay close attention, this is a very good comparison.

I spent 5 years at Camp Pendleton. You couldn't drag me back there with a tractor.
