Exhaust....opinions

[Mustanglvr2006]

I have been searching and searching for mufflers, catback systems....etc....

I have listened to just about every brand and style of system at youtube and latemodelrestoration, I know that I'm not getting the "real" sound this way, BUT, the only way I have really.

I have flowmasters on my 92 5.0, but I dont really like the way they sound on the 4.6 GT, I was dead set on the Bassani's...then I found the MagnaFlow's Magnapak cat back system, from what I have heard, they sound pretty awesome (I heard this on my PC at LMR) but, I have a feeling they might be way louder on my car than I think they will be based on how they sound on my pc.

So I am at a crossroad and dont know what to get, I want the car to sound mean and kinda loud, but, not so loud it sounds like a drag car with just headers

I was hoping that maybe I could ask you guys to chime in and give your opinions as to what you all like the most, I can use all the help I can get with this decision.

BTW...my 2006 GT is bone stock as of now.

Thanks in advance for your opinions.

I bought FRPP stingers and never looked back, I LOVE them, not a lot of drone and a nice deep sound.

Here's some exhaust clips from the members of this site. Lots of different combos.

In my case, I'm still running the stock mufflers, but after my CAI and Brenspeed tune, my car has a slightly louder and throatier sound.

Boomtubes are a great choice. Priced new at about $300. If I were shopping again, I'd go with a used pair as a lot of mustang owners swap out axelback's and will sell at bargains.

Thanks for the replies and Thank you Wraith for this link I have checked it out and I have to say I'm more confused now as to what I want There are soooooooooo many options out there it could drive a guy insane haha.

I really like the sound of Bassani's, I think I might just go with them, I say that now, BUT, in about 27 seconds after posting this I will be like....uh....DAMN...I cant decide!!!!!

Thanks again for the replies.

Most people switch set-ups a few times. I have been through a few set-ups myself:
Stock Catted H and Flowmaster 40s
Stock Catted H and JBA
Stock Catted H and Magnapacks
O/R Prochamber and Magnapacks
Prochamber w/hiflow cats and Magnapacks
Prochamber w/hiflow cats and SLP LM
Prochamber w/hiflows cats, glasspacks/resonators and SLP LM (Pseudo midmuffler)
My current is Catted X, Pseudo midmuffler.

No cats is gonna be loud and potentially raspy. Not good IMO. Lot of people want a meaner sounding car and after they put on a axle back they then add an offroad ie no cats midpipe, then its really loud. Take your time deciding.

My exhaust tone got better too after I installed my brenspeed tune. The tune/cai should be the first mod IMO.......its such a better car with it, so much more fun to drive.
