Recently a good friend of mine installed a Magnaflow X-pipe and cat-back on his 00' GT.I must say that I do not like the exhaust tone, it sounds like a 350 chevy or somekind of truck with exhaust. This has me re-thinking what exhaust system im going to install, right now im thinking Borla or maybe Bassani (if possible). Also i saw a 03 cobra with flowmaster exhaust and I must say that it sounded wicked.

I have a Mac Prochamber and Mac mufflers ... I think it sounds pretty good and cheaper than borla.

Is it a catted Xpipe and is it magnapacks or magnaflows???? If I heard a truck that sounded like my car with the catted X and magnaflows I would compliment them on it......

He is running Magnaflow not magnapacks, and its an off-road X-pipe.

the o/r x might have been the problem. the rule of thumb for some people is catted x w/ flowthrough style mufflers or o/r h... a lot of people don't like the sound of flows/bassani/borla with offroad x's.

I hate Flowmaster. Even the name bugs me. Plus I hate the idea of a chambered muffler. Every time I think of Flowmaster I think of some souther hicks. I hate the southern accent........HYUCK HYUCK.

I think I need to take a nap.

That's what I thought when I heard a sound byte of Magnaflows...sounds like a Chevy - gag! (Too much of a burble, like it has water in the exhaust system or something?!) As much a people whine about Flowmasters, they are very popular and have, IMO, the traditional Mustang sound.

I always thought Chevy's sounded kind of loud and raspy on top of that lower "burbling" sound.
