For that price you can get a nice catback and maybe an offroad x or h pipe.

You first have to decide on what type of sound you want and whether you want it to be emissions legal or run catless. Go to www.mustangexhaust.com and figure out what type of sound you want

If you want a loud muscle car sound, i personally would say these setups would work...

H-pipe and Flowmaster catback
H-Pipe and Mac Catback
Mac Prochamber and Flowmaster Catback
Mac Prochamber and Mac Catback

Hope that helps

BTW, if you are trying to completely minimize the cost of your exhaust setup, just get some Flowmaster or Mac mufflers and have them welded in instead of getting the whole catback

I have a MagnaPack catback on my '98 GT. Ran me about $300 or so. It's not real loud but sounds great and much better than stock. If you really want it nice, include an "H-pipe". Flows may be a bit much and there is drone with them.

u prolly should get Pack and some O/R X.
Difference between one makes most gain to least gain is prolly 1hp or 2hp at most
Go with what sound best for you, as one makes 1hp less but sound pure sex is WAY better then one makes 1hp more and sound like an ass

HoustonGT I watched that vid and its great souding but I only have 500 bucks to spend so I am thinking about getting the Bassani BX Cat-Back now and an x pipe later.

Im a little confused is this the right one for a 98 gt the description says 1999-.... an the title says 98 gt so..
