I have a 98' stang that I just bought. It has a flows (not sure which series)on right now. My problem is that I want it to sound more aggressive. Im not sure what is a good brand to buy and I was told I should start with the headers and work my way to the tails. Anyways your input will really help.
Thanks

Get an off-road H-pipe and keep the muffler.

i got a prochamber and love the sound coming out of the tailpipes, and i believe it flows more than regular h-pipes too, but it may not be loud enough for you, other than the prochamber i dont think theres much difference between h-pipes, and ive heard good stuff about dr. gas x-pipes. good brand of lt headers is hookers but u gotta buy their x-pipe cuz their design is different, and w/ install they gonna cost around 1k
good luck with your setup

I have the MAC off road H pipe and like it so far. It was a decent price too.

Yeah, rather then start a new thread, I might as well jump in here!

I have Dodge pickup truck, straight pipes after the cats. It sounds awesome, but I don't want that for my Mustang. The truck wakes too many people up.

What would you recommend for an exhaust (cat-back for now) that isn't loud sitting at idle or normal driving, but screams when you lay into it? I listened to those exhaust clips and alot of them sound awesome, but its hard to judge how loud they actually are. I thought the Dynomax Bullet one sounded wicked on that Cobra. What do you guys think would be a good choice? Not looking to go broke either.

Just make sure you have some sort of cross section area welded in. They sound raspy and uneven without and you'd be giving up a lot of low and mid range torque without.

Slide underneath and measure the case length of them. I believe that 40-series have a 14-inch long case and 50-series use a 17-inch long case. If it's the later, it would explain why your car is so quiet and I'd think of springing for a set of 40's.

Fair warning though....they drone like crazy, so I'd be planning on some type of X-pipe later on in the future to minimize the drone effect.

Thought I'd throw another in...this may have already been asked another way, but I'm looking at some used MAC LT's in great cond. Only have Mag.'s so far (the quieter ones) and like the sound. wouldn't mind a little more babble on decel., which will probably be a given w/ headers. Anyhow would prochamber be a wise choice with these headers to replace oe mids on an '04 5sp everyday driver for wife who likes aggressive but not annoying? Not too worried about gains; that's gonna happen anyway replacing oem.

Might get annoying after a while. My set up gets to me on those days you just wanna cruise and listen to the radio.

MAC 1 5/8 unequal shorty's, O/R Basanni custom X-pipe, Mac Flowpath 2 1/2 with tials.

Might look for a set of 3-chamber 50-series delta flows to keep the drone down.

Still has the throaty muscle sound associated with Mustangs, but combined with a 2 1/2 inch exhaust will still be plenty muscular without drive the wife nuts.
