Ok heres my exhaust combo. BBK Long tube headers, BBK X pipe with high flow cats, and 2 chamber flow masters. I just had the X pipe installed, and I am disappointed with the sound. It was louder with the same exhaust, but the stock H pipe. I don't understand. Why do you think its like that?

I am sure it's louder than you think....

My car can be heard from a 1/2 mile away.

It may be quieter inside the car, but behind the tail pipes, I'm betting its louder.

get rid of the cats, then you'll like it. I had a bassani catted x with 2 chambers, got rid of the cats and it made a world of a difference.

Remove the mufflers.

Actually, like mentioned, if you want the car louder, remove the H-Pipe. I actually laughed at the difference in sound when I put took my Bassani X off and put the stock pipe back on for emissions.

I have a small video of my car on my website. It has different sound clips of my car. It's large though so you will have to be patient for it to download. Go to www.sleeve02.com/images

Look for the file named "Mustang 2005.wmv"

That should give you something to compare to.

No......, The problem is that you have an X-pipe with chambered Mufflers, you need to get a straight through muffler like bassani. that's why this H-pipe sounds good with flowmasters.

that plus you still have cats, you should have just gotten an off road.
