heres my deal. I've got bbk longtubes to a bbk o/r h-pipe into 2 chamber flows. Plain and simple it doesnt sound mean enough for me. does anyone besides bbk or mac make x pipes for these headers? My 96 cobra i just sold had just a bassani mid to flows and it was nasty mean. I dont know. I'm open for ANY suggestions. I dont miss the 4.6(bitch to work on) at all but i do miss the sound that it made. Thanks fellas.

Get aluminum heads or a poweradder. More airflow means more noise.

no matter what, the 4.6 will have a different sound. my friends 01 cobra is "louder" than mine by a little but mine sounds much meaner. thats kinda why im going to be doing dumps sometime soon to get the loudness back a bit

My car kinda sounds like a 4.6 with that racey, higher pitched sound. I have LTs, prochamber (kinda a X pipe) and MAC catback. A few people have the same setup. (Joe, Andy etc.)

frankly, i'm insulted. well, not really, but i have bbk longtubes, the matching h-pipe, and 2-chamber flows just as you do. i LOVE how the car sounds. i get compliments almost everytime i fill up on gas i must say that the aluminum heads and cam really changed the sound of the car. it sounds much meaner now.

I run BBK L/Ts with H-pipe and 2 chamber flows. It sounded good before, but the AFRs and TF Cam made a huuuge difference. Nice loud lope and beyond 4k, it just says catch me.

Get some shorty headers then..They will make your car sounds meaner. but you'll loss some power too

Although you cant hide the sound of a 5.0, I also believe my car moderately resembles a 4.6....it's definitely the highest pitched 5 liter Ive ever heard. I have BBK LTs, Dr. Gas X, and Spintech pro-streets. Sounds like a formula 1 car when I go under highway over passes at 5 K.

so dr gas makes an x-pipe that will fit the longtubes? How much did you pay for it? All in all dr. gas and bassani have always been my choice mid-pipe. I didn't really ever research it.

Click to expand...

Yes, they do. Unless something has changed, it arrives in pieces, and you really have to have a shop put it together for you (unless you have the proper cutting/welding/bending equipment). If I remember correctly, I paid right at $200 for mine. I have BBK LT's, the Dr. Gas pipe, and Magnaflows. Sounds bitchin'. Kinda stinky, though, makes my eyes water, I may have to switch back to a catted pipe...

BIG Noise!!!

I'm using MAC 2½" from the heads to rear axle and topped it off with 3" tail pipes, full tube headers & H-Pipe w/cats. When old women walking down the street have to stop and turn around to see what the hell is coming then I know my machine is loud and just the way I like it...

id start with doing something with the mufflers you got first.

are you looking for deeper or just louder or what?
