Norman, Ok
i believe they are MAC chrome 2.5" tails. they look great but really quieted her down a lot. i dunno if i like it yet, i really liked how it sounded with dumps. i just put these on temporarily until i can afford to get some new long tubes, an x pipe, and some flowmaster 3" tails.

excuse her filthiness, it's been storming the past 5 days...

Looks great.

*off topic* I don't understand why Mustang guys like their cars so darn loud. If I have a loud car it better back up the rumble!! *off topic*

thanks. it's not that i liked it more because it was louder, even though i did like it lol, but it had a raspier, lower, rumble to it. now the cam is not AS noticeable...it has more of a hollow sound, like it was coming out of what i just put on it...a pipe. i just went for a cruise in it to listen to it some more and i'm still indifferent. sounds great but no where near as audible at idle. i dunno, i've never owned a stang with tails that were actually hooked up and i guess i'm just used to the dumped sound. hopefully it'll grow on me cause im not taking them off for at least a couple months.

I'm fighting the same battle. I always run my cars without tailpipes, but me and a buddy temporarily put a set of stock 2 1/4 tails on my 90 to see what it would sound like. I think I like it, but I'm not sure yet. I think I'm going to buy a set of 2 1/2 mandrel bent pipes and have them welded on. Maybe I can make a decision then.
 
Dumps sound awesome from the outside, but I've always hated how they sound inside the car - DRRRROOOOOOOOOONE! That and the noxious fumes filling the interior were always kind of a turn-off for me. Even with tails, I wind up stinking of exhaust fumes enough, as it is, when I go out for a drive in teh Notch, so I can only imagine how bad it'd be in that car with dumps. :ack:

Why the need for 3" tails, though? Just for sound, or for looks? Or are you actually running 3" all the way from the headers on back? :scratch:

oh yeah, i wreaked of gas anytime i drove my car. it doesn't help that it's still running really rich too, lol. nah i'm running 2.5" all the way back. i want the 3" tails mainly for looks, hopefully they'll help with sound a little too though. i like how the flowmasters kind of wrap down and around the gas tank, i think they look badass. having a GT with a cobra bumper will also hide the line where they go from polished to not.

Decided to put tailpipes on. (x2 on stinking exhaust) Even though in a vert the dumps sound sick I still hate the exhaust coming thru the parking brake area.
