well im not sure which catback exhaust to buy. I heard that a straight through muffler is best with a supercharger?? what do you guys recommend? Im going to be running an o/r x pipe. I dont want it ear piercing loud but i want it loud, lol. Whats the best flowing exhaust?? slp, mac, borla, spintech???

I use MAC on my 86GT. It's a little louder and deeper than stock @ idle. When you get on it, it roars and has a unique sound...I say unique because you won't be one of the 98% of Mustang owners that have Flowmasters.

You'll get alot of looks and people asking you what kind of exhaust you have. [Smile]

Caution!

Generally speaking X pipes will get raspy and loud w/ a straight through muff.

And in regards to flow capabilities especially in s/c applications the difference between companies will be negligible it's really how you want it to sound.

Like i said before people don't think Flows ....flow very well but i tend to differ as my car has performed similar if not better with my flows and off road X

Another vote for Mac [patriot] I have it on my '92 and it sounds really good. It fits nice and it pretty good quality.

Not sure how it will sound on a mod motor though

bassani catback.......on 5.0/foxbody's id recommend MAC and probably flowmasters, but on the 4.6 dohc modulars, go with SLP, Bassani or Magnapak.. end of story...

yeah but the magnapacks and what not are LOUD and i dont think thats what he wants. Personally i dont think u can go wrong with a magnaflow cat-back

although i u want loud it is the best sounding

I was going to order slp's loudmouth but with my o/r x... but i heard it will be rediculously loud?? what do you think?

also what is the difference between a mail order catback and having a muffler shop make me a catback?? thanks
 
Posted by ls1_doc (Member # 6083) on :
 
the differnece is mandrell bends. The mail order is all mandrell bent where as most exhaust shops put little kinks in the pipe. They generally flow right about the same. I work at a muffler shop and so i may be alittle biased but our work usually fits/looks 100 times better than the mail order stuff. The slp is loud but not unbearable. If i had a mustang i would have either the magnapacks or loudmouth.

Okay im going to order slp catback but which one???? loudmouth, loudmouth II, or powerflo?? I thinking either loudmouth, or II... not sure because i know the loudmouth II is quieter but i like loud but not crazy loud.. whatch think?

Yes to me a good choice i just ordered the loudmouth exhaust the loudmouth 1 with the resanators. And the reason because of the loud sound and tone, and because i want something different than yes the 90-95% of the mustangs who have flowmasters.Or who have the magnapacks. Go to

www.mustangexhaust.com

and u can hear other stangs with the slp exhaust. My slp exhaust is coming in on the 17th cant wait. Also www.lmperformance.con
Is haveing a sale on the exhaust i paid only $399.99 and have free shipping. hurry up.......

It's going to need to be mod'ed to fit. What do you have in there now?

i would have got a magnaflow catback... [Big Grin]
 
Posted by 9Roush8 (Member # 2472) on :
 
thought about magnaflow but didnt go that route... it has the stock exhaust on it right now and that wasnt modified to fit???
 
Posted by 9Roush8 (Member # 2472) on :
 
i called maximum motorsports and they told me that as long as it fits the same as oem it will fit??
