What exhausts do you guys prefer?

[95Boss]

That Silver GT has a really nice growl. It sounded like it may be a bit loud at highway speeds though.

Theres no such thing as "too loud."  ;) Have you heard a straight through muffler like SLP with an offroad midpipe in person?

Yes, there is such a thing as too loud, especially on the highway. I have a Dynamax set up (no cats). It has a deep rumble at idle and decel and a real nice burble during acceleration. It's not too loud and doesn't create any unwanted attention from the cops. Works for me.

I understand different people want their car to sound differently, it's just that I think loud is cool on muscle cars. I've never heard a mustang that sounded bad.

Correctumundo, amigo. I have to admit a loud muscle car is an aweseome spectacle. My neighbor and his buddy have a couple of Fox body stangs that are so loud you can hear them coming from two blocks away and hear them for a long time when they have left our street. They sound so tough that most guys wouldn't consider trying them on for size. Neither car is what you would call pleasurable to drive. The noise level in those cars is so loud, you would get irritated with it after a while. But the sound those 5 liters make going down my street sure gives me a monster hard on. If your car is loud and you like it that way, good on ya'.

so where is the cheapest place to buy exhaust from? I am going to buy it and my buddy owns an exhaust shop so he'll put it on. I am really considering some shorty headers, o/r prochamber, and slp lm2 exhaust maybe lm1. Still haven't decided on how loud I want it to be.

^^^If your going to go and buy headers do yourself a favor and buy the long tubes. Unlike shorties they actually increase your  performance somewhat.  O0

[fordguysmith]

i seen somewhere where people were complaining about the long tubes not fitting an auto very well. what are some good long tubes to get? and how bout some good cheap ones? lol

[rebelyell]

BORLA - mufflers, pipes, catbacks...

hooker - headers...

[fordguysmith]

I'm leaning towards MAC long tube headers, bbk o/r x pipe and slp lm1 exhaust. Does anybody have this combo? Also, how much more is a Prochamber midpipe than a bbk? I found the bbk for 160 in late model resto.

[rob10s2]

there should be plenty on streetfire and youtube :dancing6:

[SVTGizzi]

mac longtubes are the cheapest because of the individual flange design. its not as good of a design as fox example bbk, but for the price they are great and i have no complaints about mine.


so what are the best sounding mufflers? im on a budget and i dont want a full catback, just weld in new mufflers...

Headers + O/R X + LM1s = Ungodly loud (I still think it sounds good)

Headers + Catted X + LM1s = Really loud and really good sound

If I were you, I'd get a catted midpipe. It would still be VERY loud but not obnoxious. Yes, it's cool to be loud but not ALL the time. American Muscle is the cheapest place I've seen for most every part. And free shipping!

[fordguysmith]

the catted midpipe would probably be best since my motor is stock right? lol. i was just leanin towards o/r since it was a heck of a lot cheaper

Yeah the offroad is WAY cheaper but can be a pain at emissions and some cops do not like loud cars etc. It doesn't matter if your motor is stock or not.

well around here the cops have never checked for cats. and they only stop you if you get on it or your car or truck is loud around them. my buddy had straight pipes on a chevy w/built 355 4spd. he drove it easy around the cops, but when it started popping or he got on it, he always got stopped. so would the exhaust be quiet at cruise with the o/r prochamber and slp lm1? and how much would lm2's quiet it down?

The cops might not check but at inspection time, you would most likely fail without cats. The O/R prochamber and LM1s will be a bit quieter than an O/R H or X but still pretty loud. LM2s will quiet them down because they are "packed" but will still be loud, just not LM1 loud.

As for myself, i have jethot FMS Equal lengths, to a Bassani offroad x, and then Mac Catback.  It a very agressive tone, not too "raspy" but a nice deep tone.   I haven't had many problems with the cops (clutch goes in every time i pass one) , but when it's emissions time, on goes the stock h-pipe for a few hours.

[fordguysmith]

well guys, I am getting SLP for sure and I'm going with the cheapest headers I can find. I don't want the car to be ear piercing loud on the highway. With a catted x and the slp scream at highway speeds like on cruise control in over drive? I won't mind the sound if it is decently quiet in overdrive like cruisin through town or on the highway. I just can't shy away from SLP. I love the sound

i have bbk o/r h pipe with mac catback it sounds nasty...sounds meaner than it bites ;)

Good choice. You cannot go wrong with SLP setup in my opinion. Eventually I will be getting a catted X too.  :pimp2:
