Any muffler suggestions?

spintech pro streets


gotta like it loud though...

I'm partial to the Spintechs or Bassanis.

Flows...

Flowmasters

Those of you who run Flow's. go check the CFM they put out and you'll see why so many don't like em. just about every other muffler flows more CFM per muff than flows. IIRC, flows only deliver 380 CFM per muff, compared to say dynomax ultra's or Magnaflows which flow over 1100 CFM each.

just some FYI is all

Flows sound great. Too many people concerned about two much technical info when it comes down to choosing certain parts for their intended application.
FWIW, most threads that I've read concerning muffler choice was dependant upon the sound one would get rather than the flow capability of the muffler. After all, who wants to ride around with the best flowing muffler but not be happy with the exhaust note??

while the sound is also very important, why not get both? no sense in having a good sounding muffler if it's holding back HP (backpressure) now is it? as for being to technical, those who want the most from their motor also want an exhaust setup that will compliment the engine setup. what your saying is like having a nice free flow exhaust system from the motor back only to be canceled out by mufflers that are to restrictive all in the name of sound, plus the prices are so close anyway's. I paid less for my magnaflows then for a pair of flowmasters, and they match the rest of the system far better and still sound very nice.

you wouldn't buy nice high flow heads just to say they look good or to tell others you have XYZ type heads on it would you? of course not, you're after more power and to maximise the other components.

look into the flow capabilities of diff mufflers sometime and you'll see the HP limits they can handle before they become very restrictive.

but to each their own.

Not everyone needs to squeeze out every ounce of power from there application. Especially those who are not all out track racers or whom can leave some HP on the table if they are near lets say, the limitations of their block for example. Many think backpressure is bad....but for those who do know...some back pressure is desireable!!

Please explain "too restrictive". I've read numerous muffler comparison tests. In many instances, the loss in hp/tq is negligible. As the same for "X" vs. "H" pipe. Catalytic converters vs. no cats.

spintech prostreets. i got em. LOUD always! here's a clip of my friend cameron's coupe with the same exhaust setup as me; 2.5" o/r H pipe with dumped spintech prostreets:

I have only heard one muffler that sound better than flowmasters on a mustang. Too bad I do not know what they were.
