Nope....
Stock loudest
Shorty quiet
Long most quiet
Pretty sure it's something to do with the way the air is routed to a collector?
My SLPs sounded like ASS until I installed my T/Ls... it toned the exhaust down just enough to make the setup sound good.
That's also two different cameras, at two different distances, haha. That's not a good way to judge sound.i'm still not convinced
heres stock manifold, o/r x pipe, stock mufflers
YouTube - 2007 Mustang GT S197 No Cats, Mac X Pipe, Stock Mufflers
and heres LT's, o/r x pipe, stock mufflers
YouTube - 07 Mustang GT longtube headers, no cats
it's from a s197, but principle should be the same. the LT's do make it deeper, and it sounds louder too.
I'm known in my town for my exaust.
The h will give u more of an agressive rumble and the x will be more raspy.
say if you blow thru a trumpet, then blow harder, it's louder. just seems that more air going thru makes it louder.
This train of logic is so flawed that it hurts to think about where to start correcting it. Do some research on sound power vs sound pressure vs particle velocity vs particle displacement at variable temperatures, for a start. And get your assumptions correct. Is the engine going to "blow" exhaust into the headers with greater force just because the longtubes have less resistance to flow (in theory you would argue that longtubes allow better flow)? I'll save you the research on that one - no.
I just got my MAC longtubes, MAC o/r prochamber, and borla stingers installed and i must say i really like the tone of the exhaust but it isnt as loud as i hoped overall since i dont have the cats anymore. When i at WOT it sounds amazing and is pretty loud but at cruising speeds and a normal acceleration im not as satisfied as i hoped.
When watching youtube and reading posts about everything i thought the prochamber was really good. After buying it when i would continue reading forums i saw a couple people say they think the prochamber was too quiet for them. i started second guessing myself if i went the right way.
My question is would an o/r X or o/r H be better for me. I still want it to sound good but i want it to be loud. from earlier readings i remember something about since its the borla muffler is a straight through design to not go with an H. I would like it to rumble though and that comes with more with the H than an X. Im not opposed to the X pipe if it will still sound pretty good and be louder. Please list your opinions.
Im only looking to change my mid-pipe though. If you think that there is something else that might be a problem that i can fix myself to maybe make it louder like maybe an exhaust leak let me know. Also if you have heard my setup in person and think that it is loud compareable to other exhaust and i just have wishful thinking let me know that too. With just changing the mid-pipe i would do the install myself.
Sorry for the long post i just wanted to let you know of everything i know about the topic so you can better inform me. thank you.
