Help with a powerful sound

[blackbeauty94]

Hey everyone! I've got a '94 GT 5.0 Black Stang (manual) and I'm wanting to up the exhaust (I guess?) sound. I've got the flowmasters--I'm not sure on the specifics and I think I have an off road H-pipe. Do any of you know any ways to improve the sound to get a nice rumble? I'm in college so I'm lookin for some cheap solutions or maybe just used parts.


Thanks bunches

well i dont know how loud you want to be but ive got an offroad h pipe with dynomax race bullets and it is bad as hell sounding.

I have a 2.5 o/r h pipe, 2 chamber flows, and equal length headers. I easily turn heads. Plus the cam and heads help a little too.

Hmmmm assuming you've already got 2-Chamber Flows, you should already have a pretty loud rumble. I've got Mac Flowpaths on mine and they sound very similar to the Flowmasters. Maybe you’ve got 3-chamber Flowmasters? Go underneath and measure them. If the case is 17” long, then they’re 3-Chamber (50-series). If the case is….14” inches long (I believe) then they are 2-Chamber (40-series). An off road H/X-Pipe should be pretty easy to see. If it's got catalectic converters, then it's not O/R.

I've also got an O/R custom Bassani X-pipe and 1 5/8 unequal length headers, mounted on a set of ported and polished heads.

That’ll sound different than your run of the mill 5.0L

I run Dynomax Bullet's with an X-Pipe and dumps and there loud as hell. They provide a nice low, powerful sound at low to mid RPM's and after that you cant even here yourself think. Keep in mind this is on a 550+HP engine so a mild 302 would still be loud but not excessively. Tailpipe's would mellow them out a bit. Best of all Bullet's are cheap. For sound clip's on bullets go to www.xtrememustangs.com click on video's and you'll see a list with 4 different video's of some mean stang's eqipped with Bullet's.
If the Bullet's sound a little to extreme, and you still don't mind the sound of Flowmaster's think about going with an offroad X-Pipe. The X Pipe will give you a more raspy, powerful (Nascar Like Sound) tone.
Overall, I'd say Bullet's would be the best & cheapest way to go if you don't mind the fact that they are fairly loud.

cheapest way to go would be dynomax race bullets. 31.99 a piece from jegs and you cant beat the crazy loud sound
