Any mufflers that don't sound like crap???

The JBA's that I have didn't make my car any louder then stock, just a different tone. They don't crackle, you would probably like them. I actually might be interested in selling them if you're interested, I want something louder on my car. PM me if you want.
 
Seems every muffler i've heard for these cars are either TOO loud or crackle and backfire, what's the deal?? I have Ford Racing X and looking for the stock tone but a little bit louder when I accelerate. Any ideas?? :shrug:

Your describing how chambered mufflers sound on these cars and I agree with you. I had the MAC a/b with the prochamber and took it off because of the tinny sound at WOT.

IMO straight through mufflers sound the best on the s197 while chambered sounds the best on the fox/sn95.

I would say get stingers but it won't have the stock sound your wanting at all.

I think your problem could be more due to the midpipe. Try the OR H Pipe. Flows, SLP all sound great with the OR H Pipe. Depends on your opinion of TOO loud. :D

I agree 100%. Every chambered combo I have listened to with the S197s doesn’t sound good at all (no offense to you guys that are running them). To me the only option for the s197s would be a strait thru.

That's because the Fox/SN95s had those long tailpipes to funnel the sound out properly, the thing that gets close with the S197 is the straight through design (stinger) because it imitates the sound that those long tailpipes make.

My Steedas sound like stock only deeper, and meaner but without so much bass that you lose the crispness of the exhaust note.
 
The stock exhaust is pretty noticeable - it's definitely not the typical "OEM quiet" exhaust system.

However, I've heard the Bassani Axlebacks and they give the car an old school muscle car sound. My Pypes Violators are quite rowdy. Startups in the garage will shake the ground and the garage, and they will occasionally make a backfire sound in the right conditions.
 
Be weary of the Borla/FRPP stingers. They tend to trumpet and you would need to weld in a resonator to get rid of it. They sound good, but it's a little more work.


Weary = Physically or mentally exhausted by hard work, exertion, strain, etc.; fatigued; tired: weary eyes; a weary brain.

Leery = wary; suspicious (usually fol. by of): I'm leery of his financial advice.
