So did you lose power putting the cats back on. Mine is awful loud too. Have Magnaflows on it!!
CTS-V, 03/04 cobra, ZR1....mean much to ya?
Those cars are not overly loud. Yes, they make more horsepower with more free flowing(read louder) exhaust, but in stock form they still make tons of hp. You cant have a quiet system and the best blowing at the same time.
Give up some hp if its that important to you. Car companies do it.
Yeah, and there's a reason some of those cars pick up like 30hp just with a set of mufflers. The exhaust is tuned direct from the factory to keep the noise down. You can't really make a custom muffler for a Mustang. Sometimes reality interferes with theory.
I still think cats are the only way to keep a Mustang quiet.

The whole point is that they make comparable power to pokageek with the stock exhaust components. I never said they wont pick up power by swapping out the stock exhaust. They are big motors, that are super charged, and even a cam swap wont make them terribly loud.
Ofcourse a "quiet" exhaust isnt going to maximize performance....but thats not what keith is after. For those wanting a quiet exhaust, there are obvious things you have to give up.
Ya cant have your cake and eat it too.
Totally agree. I think a quiet exhaust starts with a good muffler. I don't think my car is terribly loud, but it might just be the level of noise I'm accustomed to.

Your car is loud... very very loud... and it needs cats...
Just get a good set of cats...
Random technology
or carsound/magnaflow
Which one for boosted applications. The MagnaFlow spun metallic (59956) didn't do squat for sound.
keith, please re-read my previous post.
peace
almost ...Ok... I read the whole thing. He puts the twisters to the REAR of the regular mufflers..kinda in the tails. Is that the trick?
Yep. I hear ya on the hf cats Adam.
almost ...
- twisters are mufflers that do not restrict the exhaust flow
- he actually has 2 sets of twisters: one set between the mid-pipe and the mufflers, and another after the regular mufflers.
- they are small enough that they can fit pretty much anywhere
if you want to quiet your car without restricting the air flow, and you don't want cats, then adding twisters to your setup sounds like just the ticket
And its news to me that cats don.t quiet down the exhaust.
cats would quiet it down, and they would make it not smell so bad, but keith seems to want to stay away from them ... not really 100% sure why though
understood, i guess.My respect is growing for Nate since I took him off "ignore" lol.
"You can definately do the initial pair before the mufflers, hopefully that'll quiet it down enough? "
No.. I mean, my take on his site says the ones after the mufflers are the ones that did the quieting.
Good catch Chris. Yes, my car is exempt from emissions and I have the slip to prove it.Because of the loose tolerances, if I DONT have the evac kit on, I blow smoke outta my engine bay NASTY. So it blows out of the exhaust now and I dont see it (not too bad after it burns.) So to go to HF cats, my exhaust will scrape more than it does now AND require an expensive in bay EVAC system so it dont oil down the $$$cats. Make sense?
