Exhaust

[GoldenRuleClassics]

We are putting together a 1985 Mustang GT with a new 347, 430hp, and have a question about exhaust. We are looking for something that sounds good but not loud and obnoxious, the owner is in his 60's. Has BBK shorty headers, dual exhaust with H Pipe. Thinking of the flowmaster 50 Delta?

Any 3 chamber muffler would probably be best but I don’t know their drone characteristics.

A 3-way catalytic converter (one for each side) will help bring it down a notch and keep the gas smell down, too.

Kind of an apples to oranges comparison, but I have a 50 Delta Flow single in/dual out in my Ram 5.7 Hemi. It now has shorty headers as well, otherwise it's completely stock. I think it's a good compromise between sounding relatively "aggressive" without making you go deaf. So my vote would be for a pair of them as well as a pair of converters as @Noobz347 suggested.

Another option - my bone stock GT has a pair of Summit brand 2 chambers and I believe it's about the same volume as my truck. But again, it's completely stock atm - stock headers, stock converters, stock tail pipes.

Another option - you could also add a pair of glass packs upstream of the mufflers to act as resonators to help quiet it down if you can't quite get to what you're after otherwise. I did that with my Cobra.
