You don't want your car to sound like his, it's probably the worst sounding Mustang I have ever heard.

I've got SLPs on my car too and I like them..they sound good and flow real well..jus seems like it lacks back pressure especially if you're not running cats, so you lose a little low end but the upper rpms seemed to pull smoother

SLP mufflers are just chrome plated glasspacks...


on a 2v 4.6 I would check out the magnaflows or the dynomax.

www.mustangexhaust.com has a ton of sound bites.

Yellow94GT never touched anyone's sig or banned anyone, so I'm going to quit spreading that rumor. It's not like I have any proof anyways. All yellow94gt and other mods have done is volunteer their time to help other people buy/sell parts, learn how to make their cars go faster and meet fellow enthusiasts. I'm a hater, but it's hard to hate on these facts. I have saved hunrdeds, maybe thousands of dollars here buying and selling parts over the years alone, but I don't care, this website owes me damnit, and I'll piss on it as much as I want. Us haters gonna hate. Why contribute to something when you can take for free?
I act like I'm@Age15

Oh yeah, this isn't my website, so no one has to ask for my permission to change my sig. Hell, not like I pay the CAFORDS bill, so why should they need my permission to put what they want on their site? We're all guests here. Maybe some of us should start acting like guests or leave?

I agree, I wish I could run flows on my car but I can't use a chambered muffler.

Although the slp and flowmasters sound mean and rumble, they are too loud for my taste now. I used to have an off raod h-pipe with a 40 series flowmaster and I couldn't talk to the person next to me on the freeway. The next oppertunity I had, I went with a catted bassani x pipe with borla xr-1's and they sound mellow on idle but scream on WOT.

I dont know why everyone likes SLP so much. Every car I have heard with them sounds bad, and they crack and pop when you let off the gas.

I agree. No need to re-invent the wheel on this one, unless you can afford a full Bassani SS exhaust [Eek!] . Get Flowmasters for that unmistakeable 5.0 sound.
