Exhaust

Ensit Mike · March 28th, 2007, 09:01 PM

Ive been trying to read all the forums about exhaust but now that it comes down to it everyone seems to have a different opinion.

Whats going to be my best bet for the loudest throatiest CA state legal exhaust i can get my hands on?

damn smog tests!

Borla, is the one i can only think of. I was going to say SLPs but i def know that SLPs are illegal in CA

what about MAC axlebacks? www.brenspeed.com

MaverickMLFD371 · March 28th, 2007, 09:34 PM

MACs are good, but the drone is WORSE than the borla's, thats the one drawback to the MAC kit

wtf is drone! i hear everyone talk about the infamous drone but what is it?

Ensit Mike · March 29th, 2007, 12:57 AM

haha thanks guys...now the difference between cat back and axle backs...? I know the concept but what are the advantages of one over the other?

and drone is that...well "drone" haha....the anoying resonance from the muffler.

Your catbacks are from the catalytic converter to tips.
Axlebacks, in the new stangs, are clamped on above/right after the rear axle, basically muffers, tips and a lil it of pipe.
The advantages are basically loudness. Axlebacks are where your gains are in the 05+ GTs, the X may give you a few ponies, but thats all, as the factory exhaust is very free-flowing...
Catback advantage is a few more horses, Axleback's advantage is more green in your wallet, and almost the same result.
I would say the loudest throatiest you might could get away with would be some flowmaster super 40s. I run longtubes, with a catted, but gutted, lol, Bassani X, and the super 40s.
Check out YouTube, and listen to exhaust setups on the 05+ models, until you find a setup that tunes to your ear perfectly.
MAC, Flowmaster, Borla/FRPP, Corsa, Bassani, or Magnaflow will be your best choices...

catbacks DO NOTHING FOR POWER ON THE NEW MUSTANGS!!!!! ONCE AGAIN, YOU ARE GETTING THE SAME PIPING YOU ALREADY HAVE ON YOUR CAR!! (STAINLESS STEEL, 2 1/2 INCH MENDREL BENT PIPING) DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON CATBACKS. The new Mustangs are all about AXLE-BACKS, Mid-Pipes and Headers!

Hey Mav when you say the SLP's you know arnt legal in CA is that because of emissions or loudness?

If not for emissions im pretty sure i wont get ticketed for being to loud...well not around here anyways cops got better things to do.

all I know is a few people that I talk to from CA on other mustang forums have gotten into a lop of crap with police with SLPs, just lettin ya know i think its cause of both sound and not emission legal
