New guy here to the forum, as well as to the new Mustang. Got my black GT back at the beginning of March, and three days later gave it to my buddy to have stripes painted down it. Every minute I have owned this car, I love it!
Anyhow, I have always been in the 4x4 world, never the sports car world. So everything about this car is new to me; accessories, parts, and so on. I started off with MAC mufflers, which made it sound NICE, and also the fact that they are polished stainless really adds appeal. To me anyhow....I decided then to get the Bassani X pipe, and ordered the kit and installed the pipe the day after I got it. Now, its not quite what I was expecting. There is a very loud, "rattling" sound if you will, whenever I am accelerating heavily through 3rd gear. I had a buddy of mine, who is a Mustang afficianado, come by and listen to my car and he said it is typical of X pipes. Some of the videos that I have watched with cars with the X pipe installed have that sound, but mine is really loud. Loud enough that I am not sure I am 100% happy with the pipe. Right now it is installed with the cats, and I am wondering what it would do to the sound if I removed the cats? Also considered running the MAC H pipe, but I do not know what an H pipe would do for the sound. Would it be deeper?
A rather long first post, but I have searched this site and did not quite find the answers I was looking for, so if anyone has read all this and can offer any answers, I would be greatly appreciative!
