Cat Back or H-Pipe?

[stang315]

wich is going to give me the most for my money?

Cat back.

Opening your exhaust a little will give you a few more horses, but you still need to keep some restriction in the system to avoid losing low-end torque.

Installing an H-pipe does absolutely nothing for a V6, since we have an even firing cycle and there is no need for scavanging. Those who have installed one say it sounds good but they've lost a lot of power.

so a MAC catback system is suggested?

 

[Skymarshal]

That's what I have, and I can't say it feels any stronger or weaker, but I'm pleased with how it sounds. It's throaty without being too aggressive, and it's still not too loud on the highway.

 

[stang315]

well the sound im going for is loud and aggressive lol soo any new suggestions?

 

[Skymarshal]

If you want loud, you might try installing glasspacks. It might sound like crap with a V6 though, and you might be seen frequently at the side of the road with the Law behind you!

already experinced it lol
my grandpa has a truck with glasspacks on it and i got my first ticket for that very thing just going to get some drinks lol.


well what do u think would get me closest to the gt sound?

i hear alot about flowmasters,does that make a big diff with sound?

I have dual flowmaster 40's on my car and they give me a good sound agressive all that way throught the rpm range.

A Mustang GT with a V8.

Get the Magnaflows, you will love the sound, run the pipes str8 back(cut the y pipe), and you will love the sound. I did that with my old 98 V6 and lots of people mistook it for a V8. Well I would get the "is that a 5.0L?"

I think the midpipe would give you more top end power than a catback, but you would lose torque down low.
