straight pipes?

87fourbanger · March 23rd, 2011, 09:43 PM

My stock muffler is practically falling off.... too old. If I do a no cat, straight dual set up. What should I expect out of it . Any gains or losses?

Cgross609 · March 23rd, 2011, 11:32 PM

Yup. Weight gains with duals. If you are going for looks though, sexiest mustangs ever have the dual chrome slant cut SS tips... Mmmm... dont do true duals off the header/manifold. Y-pipe it near the back. Less weight that way.

Honestly, nothing except; more weight a headache and some permanent hearing loss. If you had a full blown race motor, this might be of value to you, but not in this case. For the sake of argument, let’s say that you did see a big increase in gas flow from this (you won’t), now you would need to change fuel trims in order to compensate for the lower back pressure in order to realize a power increase. If you are going to spend some money on mods, make the money count and install a header with some 2.5” piping and a regular muffler. Yes, I know that’s what everyone else is doing and that’s because it really works!

87fourbanger · March 31st, 2011, 09:36 PM

well i went out to look at different mufflers and ended up getting a super 44 magnaflow muffler. i went out to a nearby muffler shop and got it installed to 50 bucks and let me tell ya ,,, i love the sound. its just perfect. not too (in your face) it has a very deep tone to it.

by anychance did you mean to say flowmaster. if so then thanks for the feed back because im looking for a new setup to get a nice deep rumble from the stang

87fourbanger · April 14th, 2011, 01:12 PM

yes lol i realized that i wrote that very late ha!! but yea i love the sound and i also had that gut feeling of a gain in some torque but thats just me

93foxmustang · April 20th, 2011, 10:03 AM

yea i think i might go that way with the 44

on my '91 i used a walker sound fx 5.0 muffler and 5.0 LX tailpipe with a ranger header and hi flow cat. At idle it sounds like a V8, and at speed it sounds loud enough to notice with a decent tone for a 4 banger.

No retarded tractor or weed wacker Honda sound here...
