Hi. umm...i dont know anyone personally that owns a mustang...and i've been trying to decide on a catback system...so, i was wondering if you guys would help me out buy comparing other exhaust systems by loudness....i want something thats pretty loud when you get on it but a fairly quiet idle...i really want LM2's but thats why i need comparisons because the videos dont help me much and i wonder if they are too loud.

Borla Stingers would fit the "quiet at idle" and "kick @$$ as WOT"

Those sound about right. Mine LMIIs are a little bit louder, but I also have an o/r X. That vid he has a catted X which will make them a bit queiter.

its easy one side has a full length leg with the chamber itself and the other is shorter where it will bolt on to the rest of the prochamber make sure you use a new factory gasket for the passenger side and some orange ultra high temp silicone and a bit also on the driver side cause mine leaked a bit but finally took care of it

o/r prochamber and mac flowpaths. Vid clip doesn't do justice to the deepness of that combo. It never crackled like that when driving either.

i live in the city of bell by the 710 FWY (Do you live around the L.A area)...... its not obnoxious you can actually have a conversation inside the car... its a fairly tamed set up until you get WOT ... i havent had a hard time but im easy on the thorttle
