For those with O/R Xpipe and Flowmasters come in plz..

GeorgiaGT40 · Jun 20, 2005

Do you have a pulse sound going down the road, almost like a helicopter or do you have a deep,solid tone. Reason being I just installed an o/r Bassani X with my Magnapacks and it doesn't have the tone I am looking for, it has a raspy popping sound to it at certain RPM's.

What I am looking for is a mean solid exhaust tone instead of the glasspackish' one the X gave mine. It wasn't there before the X but I want to keep the Xpipe.

Also do you think I could swap just the Flowmasters mufflers out with my Magnapack catback or would I have to get it welded? Thanks for any help.

Don't trust my friends

I have heard it echoing off a wall and other cars...Good idea though.

EDIT: oops I read that wrong ...thought you said you already had the flowmasters. In that case, yes, I recommend gettin the Flows

I want my Flows back. I blew both of mine after swapping them from different year stangs. When i went to buy some more i let the salesperson talk me into Ultra Flows because they are saying Flowmasters are so restrictive. Now i regret having the Ultra Flows welded in.

Georgia, here are 2 sound clips of a Bassani O/R X with Welded-in FlowMasters.

Do it. Itll sound a hell of alot meaner and less poppy than it does with your current combo

GeorgiaGT40 · Jun 21, 2005

thanks for the help all, do you think they will swap right in or have to be welded?

The ones I have are welded. You can use your stock tailpipes (if you still have them) and have them welded to them.

just weld them into your Magnaflow catback

well the flow 40 series have a 19" overall and a 13inch body.

now the magnapacks have a 14inch body and 20 overall.

proably work. see what have 1/2 inch less to clamp in on each side will do.

I have the same problem except i havethe slp loudmouth catback. When i installed my o/r h pipe last weekend i got that pulse soundyour talking about at like 1700 rpm when im lightly accelerating. I want some flows but i dont feel like spending the money to get them welded in so im gonna try n find some baffles but i cant seem to find them anywhere

Replace the Magnapacks with the Magnaflows and it will give you exactly what you are looking for-

it will rid you of the popping, and it will not force you to loose the benifits of the X pipe you just added which will happen when you put in a chambered muffler-

A chambered muffler will slow down your exhaust velocity to the point that the X pipe will no longer work efficiently-

mogs01gt · Jun 22, 2005

anything like Magna Packs or SLP mufflers need to have an H pipe. They sound like ass with an X just like a chambered Exhaust does with the an X pipe.

I was going to do a search, but I saw this new post. So are you saying with a MAC cat-back it would be better to get an h-pipe or Prochamber instead of an x-pipe? Is it better for both sound and horsepower or just sound.

GNN60GT500 · Jun 22, 2005

With a chambered muffler, either an X pipe or H pipe will work fine-

Some X pipes dont work well with some chambered mufflers though sound wise according to some on this site-

its really up to you to decide-

power wise if you have a chambered muffler X or H wont make much of a difference-

power wise if you all ready have an X- you want to get a straight through muffler-

if you have an H, you will also see more gains with a straight through muffler-

power wise with a straight through muffler- you will get more from an X pipe-

sound is all opinion- many are willing to loose hp to get the sound they perfer- as there is only 4-5 hp difference between a chambered and straight through muffler depending on brand

yeah MAC Flowpaths sound TITS with their Prochamber. Deep as hell. The 1 or 2 HP you give up will be worth it. Plus, 1 or 2 hp can be a changed in the weather.

hey GNN60GT500, havent seen you around here in a while.
