What ler would you guys suggest for a 3.8 mine seems to be rotting out so i want to get it replaced. Also is the tailpipe 2.5 or 2.25? Thanks

Glass packs, or chambered lers flow better, and will gain u power and gas mileage. They tend to make V6s sound funny though. I have never heard a turbo ler on a V6. Anyone else hear one with one? If u want to keep it factory quiet, use as close to the factory  as possible.

I want it to be louder, yeah that's what I've heard that glass packs will make it sound like an import.

I would not say glass packs make them sound like an import. Imports sound much better. Chambered lers would be more of a performance import sound. I am still curious as to what turbo s would sound like.

Would you happen to know the diameter of the pipe?

Would not be 2.5. It would be 2 or 2.25. Most likely 2.25. Sure would be nice if it was 2.5!

When I had a 3.8 many moons ago, I had dual 2 1/4 pipes and a nice set of turbo lers. Nice sound, and the duals didn't hurt the car any.

The real secret to getting a sweet exhaust note on the V6 is having an equal length Y-pipe or a dual exhaust. Its the only way to get the exhaust pulses to arrive to your ears in proper order and prevent it from sounding like a poorly tuned bag of . If you can do this, almost any ler will sound good. Otherwise I would just recommend getting the quietest ler you can to hide the chaotic exhaust pulsing.

My 3.8 (that I mentioned earlier) had full dual exhaust and a crossover pipe.

Yup, the duals sound great because they are equal. On the single the left bank has to travel further than the right bank, so the pulses are all out of time and make for an unpleasing sound no matter what ler you use.

Does the stock mustang/tbird/cougar 5.0 with dual exhausts come with a h pipe and would it bolt up?

Stock ler. The 3.8 does not sound good IMO.
