I was wondering and have been told that keeping the stock hpipe and going with the american thunder catback will give me that low american muscle rumble that im looking for...and also JBA shorty headers...any info on the sound....or should i go with an x pipe(every1 says more raspy) any1 please help me out.........

get the x pipe and exhaust and forget the shorty header idea

dont headers add the most HP i want some performance but mostly the low deep rumble no raspiness at all

I have long tube headers and it made a big difference in the sound and performance. I really loved putting long tubes on my car too, it's a good starter mod for building a nice setup for a power adder.

Sound alone= stock or aftemarket H and CatBack

HP and Sound= LTs + H + CatBack

HP only= LTs + X + Catback

how much hp would i NOT gain going with the stock hpipe and the catback adn shorty headers without the x pip..if its drastic ill get the xpipe...but the sound is the deepest with hpipe...should i just get a MAC hpipe or other and will it still produce deep NON raspy rumble

I only want the deep rumble and NO raspiness at all but i dont want to throw away too much hp...so what about shorty headers with american thunder catback and stockhpipe?

The JBA shorties are the only ones that have showed gains, however with the cost of the headers and the PITA install they are not worth the small gains they do give.

If you are going the header route go long tube or dont go at all.

Really the difference between and X and H power wise is not a ton. The H is has a little more down low grunt but the X is better at higher RPM.

If I were you and wanting no rasp, I would get either the Flowmaster cat-back or MAC catback. Then I would get the MAC o/r H pipe. You should see some nice gains and the sound will be good too.

I need a catted pipe due to emissions...how would it be to stay with the stock h pipe and AT catback..any rasp at any rpms?? And obnoxious loud or no....do long tubes fit onto stock setup?>?? IF so what are gains and what are best longtubes??

unfortunately for me, i have to use the stock H pipe. in CA anything but stock isnt legal on 4.6L stangs. so i also have to use shorty headers. im planning on either using the JBA shorties, and then a borla or bassani catback. i will probably run an offroad x pipe when i feel like being louder though.
