Good looking SN95 Bro, great find. I really like the seats those are not cheap. Hopefully we wont see a "What should I buy next" post from you anytime soon.

So far the best one Ian. Hopefully you'll keep it longer this time around. Just need to lower the front a bit to get that stance we all like on our Stangs. How much miles on it? Looks clean bro!

Right on brotha! Yea, so far its the best one I've owned. I plan to keep this one around for a while. It has 117k on the ticker, but A LOT of shit was warrantied (I have all the dealer service records), ie; heads redone at around 60k, clutch around 80k, tie rods around 80k, rear end around 80k, etc...Its a runner for sure! It has some springs in there right now but I dont know what they are...I'm trying to find some nice H&R's to dump it a little bit.
Let's hit up the mustang homies and get a nice cruise going through the 4-corners/alice route

I want a more raspy sound rather than a deep tone. Do you guys know which catetd x/h-pipe would give me that?

Your's is probably really loud because its an offroad...i'm looking for one with hi-flow cats. I'm trying to stay away from the fuel smell and obnoxiously loud x/h-pipes

The H-pipe should not be causing the "crackles" What mufflers you got and are there any changes in the diameter of the tubing throughout the exhaust?

ian..u cant lose with a nice true x crossover w/ cats with a magnaflow or borla catback. im assuming yours has borla already. in terms of brands id go with either a magnaflow flow x or even the upr depending on your budget w/ the upr being the cheaper of the 2. avoid SLP!!! the price for their SS catted x is pretty attractive but the converted will sit so low to the ground that you'll scrape even on the smallest speed bumps.. believe me, no matter how how much you adjust them with a jack they'll still sit pretty low...been there done that.

Thanks for the info Alex. Yes, I have a Saleen Borla catback right now with a stock h-pipe. I'll look into the UPR but I definitley want one that sounds raspy rather than deep.
I also want one that fits well...I've heard of h/x-pipes that are a pain in the ass to make fit properly and they end up having exhaust leaks.

I have a bassani x pipe with high flow cats. It's def more raspy but still very very mellow. I'm not running the intercooled tail pipes. No fitment or leak issues for 8 years now.

Yea it's a 331. From what I read it will sound raspier than mine which is what I think you are going for. Especially when you rev up that modular.
