There was a stigma attached to V6 Mustangs for a very, very long time. They were slow, weird girl cars that no self respecting guy wanted anything to do with. Then a funny thing happened…they became fast as hell. Today, a factory V6 Mustang can run 13s and lay waste to even the best of bone stock muscle cars all while delivering good looks and economy. Holley, being the masters at making a good thing better, have done their homework and created a line of exhaust components for 2015-2016 V6 Mustangs that bolt on.
We’re talking everything from tube headers to cat back systems for your particular needs. There is a video below that shows the sounds of the system which comes with a muffler and the system designed to be run without it. While we’s always opt for the V8 option first, we know that tons and tons of 2015-2016 Mustangs are out there with V6 engines and they are fun, fast drivers. With Hooker Blackheart, they can now be screaming fast drivers. Check it out!
Read the full release from Holley and then watch the video below for sound!
Hooker BlackHeart’s cat-back exhausts for 2015-2016 3.7L V6 Mustangs are built from 18-gauge 304 stainless steel for added strength, long-lasting looks, and maximum performance. The 2 1/2″ diameter, incorporated H-pipe, and high-flow straight through mufflers combine to create max dyno gains of 12.47 horsepower and 20.27 lb/ft of torque with mufflers, and 11.65 horsepower and 15.62 lb/ft of torque without mufflers. Tubing geometry is optimized for maximum ground clearance, and the systems are designed to utilize factory mounting points for ease of installation. The 4″ dual wall, angle cut, polished 304 stainless steel tips are laser etched with the Hooker BlackHeart logo to give your Mustang the perfect finishing touch.
For those who don’t want or need a full cat-back system, but still want an aggressive exhaust note and dyno-proven horsepower gains, Hooker BlackHeart also offers axle-back exhaust systems. Replacing the factory axle-back yields max dyno gains of 9.07 horsepower and 14.54 lb/ft of torque with mufflers and 8.93 horsepower and 13.05 lb/ft of torque without mufflers. The axle-back has all of the same features as the cat-back, meaning that it employs 2 1/2″ 18-gauge 304 stainless steel construction, utilizes factory mounting points, and has the same polished 4″ stainless steel tips that are laser etched with the BlackHeart logo.
Hooker BlackHeart has also designed a set of longtube headers for 2015-2016 V6 Ford Mustangs. They are built from the same 18-gauge, mandrel bent 304 stainless steel used in the cat-back and axle-back exhausts. The headers feature 3/8″ thick water-jet cut flanges for the truest, highest quality sealing surface possible. The primaries measure 1 5/8″ in diameter and the collectors are 2 1/2″ in diameter. These components are hand-welded for long lasting quality. The headers also include high-quality oxygen sensor extension wires to make installation a snap. The headers are designed to work with a matching BlackHeart race exhaust system.
