What size gear is in the rear? And Does Anyone have the caculator for figuring out what the RPM's would be with a certain gear installed.

What is the best sounding exhaust on a stock with very few mods? Im looking for a deep loud sound. Im thinking SLP's but just wanted to get some opinions. THANKS

3.27's are stock...Corral has a calculator. I like the Flowmaster 40's. I have MAC's now and they are too bubbly. The Flows are deep, raspy, throaty , and mean.

DON'T GET SLP'S!!!!!!

If you want your car to stand out, and not sound like everyoe else - go with Borla. Sound and quality is second to none.

peace

Here's one with a more detailed comparison than the Corral calc: http://www.svtoa-atlanta.org/cgi-bin/trans.cgi

That's highly subjective. If you want a classic muscle car sound, you want a chambered muffler, like a flowmaster. Straight through mufflers like Magnaflow sound farty to my ears, but they make good power and lots of people swear by them.

Slp sounds kinda weird, if you picture your h pipe, it sounds like the sound is bouncing back and forth across the h part. But of you want something different than that is up to you. The tips look nice though! My wife doesn't know jack about cars, but she even smiled when I got my a/t catback. Spintech is kinda along the same lines as far as sound goes compared to slp In my opinion. MUSTANGEXHAUST.COM Check out their sound clips. Good luck

For the exhaust I would look no further than Bassani.

I have used all of them in different cars. The key for me is the X-pipe. They sound better and make more power than H-pipes. Bassanis are good, I liked the tailpipe resonators, they had deep bassy sound until you got up in the rpm then they wailed. Currently I have long tube headers and 3" X-pipe, Flowmaster Deltaflows, and it's a little too loud. But at the track it sounds so sweet. As a rule, Flowmasters are louder, Magnaflows and Bassani's don't sound that different to me, without the resonators.

i had an o/r H with american thunder flowmasters on my cobra and i really loved the sound... nice and loud. im gettin a cobra or mach 1 asap. i was immediatly thinking of doin the same exhaust i had. people are saying the X pipes are makin more power and i see a lot more people keeping the cats on them. u think with long tube headers and a catted x pipe with flows or magnapacks would be as loud as the o/r H with flows? im gonna go to mustangexhaust.com and see if they have anything new.

They're all loud (offroad midpipe with longtubes), the muffler just tunes the sound and completes the whole setup.
