I currently have BBK shorties, off roah h-pipe and flowmaster 40 series. I wanted to know which component of the exhaust gives it the deep, throaty growl I hear from other mustangs that mine seems to lack. I had XE-262AH and am replacing them with XE-270AH as soon as I get my motor fixed. I was wondering if long tubes change the sound much because if it does, I'll go ahead an do that while the motor's out because we all know how much of a pain in the a** changing headers on a 4.6 are. Since I have to get a new mid-pipe, I'll probobly get cats on this one because CA is pretty strict about that stuff.
