With all the opinions flying around here maybe someone could tell me who's got the best cat back system for my stock 5 speed 98 GT? I'm thinkin SLP maybe?

Posted by two-gun kid (Member # 5891) on :

SLP LM2 on a 5.0.
let me look for the clips of my car.
this is from a couple months back after i replaced the bypass hose that i blew up.

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

hahaha real mature [Wink]

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

Posted by Maxoctane (Member # 1466) on :

hey J, do you have the pro flows or the loudmouths?

Posted by Blind (Member # 3052) on :

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.

I'm old fashioned
2-chamber flows are classic

Greatest exhaust note known to man on a 5 liter imho

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

2 chamber flowbastards and a off road h is a classic exhuast setup and the most common setup.

Posted by essasin (Member # 4741) on :

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.

thats what i got, with dumps [patriot]

considering 1 chambers again lol [Eek!]

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 hate them, they're glorified glasspacks.

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.

Posted by NavidR (Member # 3164) on :

I would go with Bassani

Posted by DLo (Member # 6133) on :

I kind of like the prochambers with flows on a 4.6. Or a bassani catted x with a bassani catback.

Btw, does anyone think the flowmaster american thunder catback is kind of quiet?

Hey, gotta respect them since they still give me a place to live while I get through school. When I get my own place I'm goin back to dumps [Big Grin]

electric cutouts?

Posted by BUKSING (Member # 6594) on :

electric cutouts are pimp! but about slp...i was looking at slponline and noticed the option for axle backs on an '06 is just a bolt on pipe an tips... is that right? no muffler for $325?

Posted by venomous99 (Member # 1917) on :

3chamber flows with a high flow xpipe sounds good on a 5.0.

SLP Rev 2700rpms

SLP Resonators, Bassani X-pipe, BBK Shorties..Car really doesn't get loud until after 3k rpms..I'll try to find a clip of it in the upper rpms
