Okay,
So I have a '03 GT 5-speed and I'm gettin' ready to drop about 3 - 4 grand into it, starting with an exhaust. As of right now I'm completely unsure what headers I'm gettin', and I'm decidin' between either Borla or Bassani for my exhaust. Those options aside I'm now trying to decide what kinda mid-pipe I want to run. I was originally going to go w/ a Offroad X, but after reading now I'm unsure for a few reasons. A) I hear that H-pipes produce a deeper more muscle car sounding tone, whereas an X-pipe creates a more high pitch exotic tone, right? I listened to some exhausts sounds and I'm just not sure if an X-pipe would be loud enough, it might have been the quality and the distance from the exhaust on the sound clips, but it made it sound like H-pipes were whimpy compared to the X. Nextly we have B) Offroad or Cat'd -- once againt the sound clips made cat'd sound whimpy compared to offroad, which is probably true -- my biggest beef is the popping and cracking sound that is produced with a offroad X or H pipe -- I mean the car sounds tight winding up and getting to wide open throttle -- but then I just have a problem with the popping and cracking as the engine winds down -- Is there any high flow performance exhaust that does not do this? Or is it just what you have to do to get those few extra horse outta you're 'stang? If anyone could gimme some insight here I'd be greatful.
