How do I achieve a deep and hollow sound from my exhaust, I love the way a ws6, ss, and cobra sound and I want to get that sound. I know cobra is a 4v and the ss and ws6 are beefy engines but there has to be a way! Which muffler will give it to me Hooker, Magnaflow, or Mac? And would it sound good with BBK Long Tube Headers 1 3/4, Off road Mid X Pipe, and 2 1/2 Tail Pipes?

although i dont like flows, but flows and an offroad h-pipe will get you that sound.

Yes, Yes it will. I remember when I first got my O/R H with my flows on my 1st 5.0. Sounds good, it's a HUGE difference with an O/R H! ![[burnout]](graemlins/burnout.gif)

I know the sound your looking for, and let me tell you its hard to get on a 5.0...On the 4.6's its easy as hell, when you throw an o/r x and flows on one of those your fuckin set.. My best recomendation is to fool with different mufflers, i personally like the way x's sound than h's but to each his own...maybe magnaflows or dynomax

a guy I live with has FRPP shorties / pacesetter X pipe / dynomax dumps... sounds pretty violent and when youre sitting near ear level the bass is so strong your fillings will vibrate
i have mac LTs / prochamber / mac catback (LTs are 1 5/8"primaries, 2.5" prochamber & 2.5" catback piping with 3.5" tips)
i think my car may be exactly what youre looking for. very hollow sounding but not very tinny especially when on the gas. you're welcome to stop by the house and have a listen if youd like. i agree with everybody else as well that flows will probably give you the sound youre looking for without any header/intermediate pipe changing

I HAVE DYNOMAX RACE MAGNUMS WITH A O/R H PIPE AND IT IS REAL HOLLOW MORE THAN FLOWS.BECAUSE IT IS A STRAGHT THROUGH DESIGH MUFFLER.BUT IF YOU ARE RELLY LOOKING FOR THAT COBRA SOUND I WOULD GO WITH BORLA XR1.ITS NOT CHEAP BUT THE SOUND IS OFF THE HOOK.

so what if i had
BBK Unequal
Mac Prochamber
Mac Catback
Will it achieve it, or should I go dynomax, hooker, or magnaflow. And should I get O/R Xpipe or mac prochamber?

bbk headers
bbk o/r h pipe
and some 2 chamber flows dumped that sounds crazy ![[worship]](graemlins/worship.gif) but if u want to keep ur tail pipes u think about going with 1 chamber flows they are damn loud maybe that would get what ur looking for

Here's the exhaust set up's I've heard and how they sound on an SN95 5.0
I've had JBA shorties, Mac o/r H, and 2 chamber flows and its NOT the hollow sound you're looking for...I'm tryin to get the same sound you are and thats just not it.
Bassani O/R X and a Mac cat-back, and shorties im pretty sure, on my friends 5.0 Cobra sounded sweet and a lot more of the sound you're looking for
Shorties (dont know the brand), Bassani Catted X, and borla cat-back on my friends 5.0 Cobra and it sounds soo nice, but he said he put like a G into his exhaust...so thats pricey.
If I was you I'd go with the Bassani O/R X and Mac cat-back...I loved the way it sounded on my friends cobra
good luck on your search...but do NOT get flows
