My 97 GT convertible is almost bone stock, except for a nice, 2.5" stainless exhaust system from the manifold back. I bought it this way and the stainless system gives it a slightly-nicer-than-stock exhaust note, but I'm wanting to upgrade to headers and a custom exhaust such as Magnaflow or Flowmaster. Borda systems are interesting, but I don't want this thing to scream. Years ago, I owned an 88 GT with headers and Flowmaster. I know the 4.6L won't approach the sweet, unmatched sound of the 302, but I'm looking for feedback on what works and sounds best on the 4.6L motor.

A nice set of sorties and a good ole Flowmaster cat-back exhaust system will sound awesome.

Welcome to Stangnet.

Look around our '96-'04 subforums and maybe start a new thread there with your question, you're bound to get some help there. Lots of exhaust threads there to help you choose.

It's good to have you with us, maybe post a picture or two of your mustang for us as well.
