I have a 87 mustang gt. I put a set of flowmaster 40's on there. It has a real deep deep sound. But i don't have any of that higher pitched muscle car sound. You know how older muscle cars sound, i have none of that its deep all the way through the rpm range. I have stock headers, and a stock catted h pipe. What do you guys suggest? Thanks

so you want a louder flowmaster tone and not so deep all the time ?

I'll try to get some sound clips of mine up cause its the best damn sounding exhaust i have ever heard and loud as all hell, take a look at my signature.

Here's the recipe for what ails you.

1.75" BBK Ceramic LT headers
2.5" BBK OR X pipe
Flowmaster American Thunder Catback

I just had this put on my LX Coupe, and it is exactly what you describe. I get no drone, and it's fairly tame at idle and just cruising...jump on the gas, and it screams.

You can check it out as I rip off some donuts here (right click and save as):

This should give you a pretty good idea of what the combo sounds like.

Other mods are in the signature.

I'd be interested in hearing your car.
