exhaust set up

01dutchGT · February 27th, 2008, 12:40 AM

I was wondering what everyone thought would sound best on my 65 mustang. It is a 302 4 barrel with large cam. It has glasspacks on it now but no xpipe. On my old 66 mustang i just went strait pipe from the longtube headers into flows. Sounded awsome but i was wondering if i could go longtubes into bassani xpipe into flowmasters. Would this sound best or just go strait pipe

Mine are straight pipes, I love it. Though, I don't have the headers yet =(

460brevill · February 27th, 2008, 08:37 AM

x pipe will give it more balanced sound.

CR70fastback · February 27th, 2008, 01:31 PM

Mine are straight on a 70 302 sounds fab even with crappy mufflers

CooterTKE · February 27th, 2008, 02:31 PM

i like the uneven sound of straight pipes but then again I also drive a subaru wrx with unequal headers.

01dutchGT · February 27th, 2008, 04:31 PM

lol im going strait pipe now with the glasspacks. If i dont like it then i will go to 2 chamber flows. But i think bassani xpipe might sound badass. maybe a prochamber

460brevill · February 28th, 2008, 07:00 AM

the x pipe will give it a power sound,not a bunch of noise.

69fastback · February 28th, 2008, 08:51 AM

I love x-pipes, and it'll make it run better.

I have the Magnaflow TRU-X system on mine, and I think it sounds great.

What are the advantages to the x pipe over straight pipes?

all it does is even out the sound.

CR70fastback · February 28th, 2008, 05:32 PM

Does any one have an audio clip of a classic with an x pipe? I would like to hear

460brevill · February 29th, 2008, 08:54 AM

i cant remember the mag but dyno showed 6 hp gain.

Not necessarily true. It evens the exhaust pressure on each side to make the engine run more effenciently. It will show small HP gains.

i have a 73 with headers going in to a straight pipe with two turbo mufflers. the sound is low so you wont get pulled over but when you give it some gas it sounds amazing, although i really dont have a problem with back pressure, i mean it sounds pretty even to me. so that is my input on the matter.

460brevill · March 3rd, 2008, 08:09 AM

if you look back,they had h pipes in 65/66 and up.that wasnt because they were pretty.

CR70fastback · March 3rd, 2008, 04:09 PM

I want some new mufflers when the snow melts what are the best type for classics. Not brand but like just type.

badly asked question

CR70fastback · March 3rd, 2008, 04:11 PM

why do mine now make a nice low grrr but then when you get going faster than 20 they become almost silent from the outside?

460brevill · March 3rd, 2008, 07:07 PM

2 or 3 chamber flowmaster sound good.i bend all my own pipe so that makes a diff.
