Exhaust Setup

hookem · April 1st, 2008, 09:39 AM

Hey guys, new to forum and to modern muscle cars (only dealt with GM A bodies, really). My friend and I are planning a 500 HP 07' Mustang GT. I've narrowed it down to the Flowmaster Super 40's or 44's (I have 40's on my F-150 and they work great). My question is concerning the pipe layout, cats and headers.

Which configuration works best? X, H, or straight?
For 500HP, is it recommended to keep the cats. I know most muffler places won't remove them, but I have a guy that will gut them.
Finally, which headers work best? Short or long?

Last thing, may seem like a dumb question, but, are the stock GTs true duals?

get lts x pipe and gut the cats it will help a lot with the flow

no they have a H pipe so they are duals... true duals dont have a mid pipe they are just 2 different pipes that never intersect

gut the cats if you can get away with emissions and i hear that super 40's and 44's the difference is extremely miniscule

Yeah, that's one of the things I love about Texas...no emissions requirements! I'm afraid it may screw up any emissions sensors though. Anyone have this problem before?

they makes fixes for your sensors.

mil eliminators and tuners/chips can both fit that problem

Yeah, we had planned on a tuner anyway. I'm not familiar with a "mil eliminator" however.
