And in my opinion, it sounds bad-ass. Everyone that hears it tells me that it's one of the best sounding Mustangs they've heard. As far as power goes, I definately didn't feel any kind of power loss. I've also been running this exhaust set up for almost 3 years now and have never been ticketed for being too loud. But nonetheless, it is loud as hell. I just don't drive like an idiot or rev it up too high when I see a cop, so they don't really have a reason to pull me over. It also helps that most cops in my area love muscle cars, so they all go after the rice rockets lol. Anyways, this is just my 2 cents. Go with whatever you think is best. <br /><br />- Tim<br /> <br /> <small>[ January 25, 2007, 03:23 AM: Message edited by: I Fear No Five O ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>VenGeance</b> <br /><small>Member # 1724</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2007,0,25,13,22,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> THANK YOU GENTLEMEN.
