Flowmaster w/stock h-pipe (?)

[lptheory96]

:SNSign:

Question: Is there any issue with just goign to my performance store SECO, buying 2 flowmaster mufflers for a 'stang, get them welded on liek I did on my older stang and keeping stock hpipe with stock cats... Besides the fact it's a ghetto made catback? How does it sound with flows and stock pipes? I have always had o/r pipes but I didnt want to do that this time and I havent saved up enough $$$ to buy a high-flow Cat X-pipe yet, I think there like $400.

Thanks for any help....

P.S Anyone want to recommend a good CAI that actually cools air more than heating it up?( like the metal chrom ones?)

I ran my flows with stock H pipe and it sounded great and I got many compliments. It was louder than stock but not loud enough for me. I get much more compliments now with the prochamber though.

Oh, the JLT is a great CAI. I just went with a K&N drop-in though.

I am the second owner of my stang, but the owner before me welded in the flows with a stock H pipe. I think it sounds real good. Nice deep rumble. Like mentioned, its louder than stock, but not crazy loud. Perfect for me.

Can get a little annoying if the RPM's stay around 2000-2500 for a long period of time.

Ahh, good ole drone.

If you have a 96 and I think you do I wouldnt say it sounds good with the stock H. I have a 97 with 6 cats I think that is why it sounded like garbage when I have to put the stock H back on for inspection time with my flows. Yours might sound a little better because I have dumps but I would just get a H or X they are not that much.

Ill sell you mine BBK o/r h but one of the clamps in the rear hit while crossing a bridge now it doesnt seal that great.

nope

Actually my old car was a 96, iv had the 04' for about a year, and it only has 2 cats

The flows sound nice on my 99, if you can live with the 2000rpm drone.
The chrome CAI will cool off almost instantly once air is flowing through it.

A lot of people complain about Flowmasters droning. Just goto www.mustangexhaust and listdn to some different clips. If you want some good HP gains, a midpipe is a must. I would just save your money.

CAI's are pretty worthless no matter what people tell you. Just drop in a K&N filter and call it a day. I wish I hadn't bought my CAI cause now I plan to replace the piping with a S/C

I purposely drive at 2000RPM just to hear them drone. I wish they would drone more!

My Flowmaster cat-back is plenty loud. You can hear me coming from down the street with the stock mid-pipe. I always get complements and when i ride out 1st gear to 4500RPM and let the engine compression slow the car down, it sounds badass!

I thought I was one of the only dummies who does that whereas others complain about the drone.

I've dreamed of having a stang with flows since I first heard one back in the 5.0 era.

I liked the drone with the stock H also. Not as much as I like it with my Bassani catted X, though.

When I bought my new 03 GT I drove it straight to my muffler shop and had them weld in 2 flowsmasters. I had it like that for almost 3 yrs. I did get a lot of compliments on it. I even had a few LS1's give me a thumbs up and ask what kind of exhaust system I had. I thought it sounded good. The only reason I changed it was because I got a good deal on some long tube headers and decided to do the full exhaust w/x pipe and I used the same 2 flowmasters with the new set-up. Scot
