1st things 1st... EXHAUST!!!! You cant drive a mustang and not have an aggressive tone. Get either an aftermarket X or H pipe and a catback!

 

[missmustang]

wats a catback??

It's the rear part of the exhaust system. Changing out the stock mufflers and exhaust gives your Mustang a race car sound.

Hi. welcome to the forums

 

[missmustang]

Do all aftermarket mufflers and exhausts give ur car a race car sound?

 

[HMUSN]

by race car do you mean nascar or like muscle car?

and yes.. the sound will change dramatically with new exhaust.

care to hear a clip?

 

[missmustang]

Well i want a muscle car sound

[missmustang]

ok i'm sure that would help me but im at a friends place and for some reason there are no speakers hooked up so i cant hear it ;( it sux sory man but thanks

 

[HMUSN]

ok so your exhaust is made up of 3 parts.

headers

short tube

OR
long tube (these may be illegal for your state though)

a mid pipe
3 types.. H, X, prochamber.

X
H
(side by side)

prochamber

and the third part is a "catback" meaning from your catalitic converters.. back..

they are many different brands but they all look kind of the same.

wat u got on ur car?

 

[HMUSN]

I Had a Mac X pipe and a Magna flow cat back with flowmater 40 weld ins.

( I cut off the magnaflow mufflers and welded on Flow master 40 series mufflers)

Hmm.... interesting! so wats the diff between the X pipe and H

 

[HMUSN]

sound mostly.

the X pipe will make a little more power all together but normally how it goes is the X pipe is a little raspy in the higher rpms while the H pipe has a bit deeper of a sound to it.

 

[missmustang]

Cool which do u like

 

[HMUSN]

the X pipe. that pic is of my old car. so is the clip.

 

[missmustang]

[HMUSN]
