Do turn downs hurt your Powerband compaired to having a catback sys. after the mufflers?
I currentlly have some Hooker 1 5/8 SuperComp LongTubes w/ 3in. collectors and matching Hooker O/R H-Pipe 3in-2.5 to install and Mufflers are MagnaFlow.
Thanks guys

fms short headers, bbk xpipe, 2 chamber turndowns and my car doesn't sound like any mustang I've ever heard.
BUT to this day I kick myself for getting rid of my pipes. DON"T GO TURN DOWN in my opinion. Keep it classic clean with tails. Unless its a GT then yeah cut that ugly shit off LOL

My car currently has MagnaFlow Mufflers with FlowMaster catback and it's a 93 GT. I have a Cobra back bumper also so I think I'll keep the CB and just add some some tips to make it look clean ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif) Thanks for the replies.

You wont. They are 200hp cars. Turndowns get annoying real fast. But I guess when your young its easier to deal with. I personally like it quiet in the car.

I doubt you will see much diff between full tail pipes and turn downs. Your car will be louder and probably even get some exhaust smell in the car.
I would personally go with full 2 1/2" exhaust.

i've never smelled exhaust with my turn downs, you'd only smell exhaust if your ride isn't running good at all. I've had my turndowns/dumps for 4+ years and i want it to be louder, i am putting dumps/turndowns on my 68 Fastback with the 532ci motor, can't wait.

After a while turn downs get old. Also your car gets dirty REALLY REALLY fast if you drive it through any loose dirt area.
