Im getting a little tired of my exhaust setup allready. Not enough tone for me I guess, plus I want to open up a little more powah...

So, lets start with what catback I want. First off, I was planted on Magnapacks. Then, I realized my car is allready more rhaspy than it is mellow or smooth, so why would I want to spend a few hundred bucks on something thats going to sound the same? So Im 99.5% sure that I will be going with a chambered muffler.

That leaves Mac or Flowmaster as my two choices. I LOVE the classic Flowmaster tone, so sick... but everyone has them (not that thats a problem). The Mac's are deep also, but im not as sold on the sound as I am Flowmasters. And ive lurked Streefire, Youtube, and MustangExhaust for clips and im still stumped as to which I like better.

Ok, so aside from the catback... still need a midpipe. So this brings up the X vs. H debate.

If I went X pipe I would go with UPR. Its priced well, its a true X, and it supposidly doesnt hang as low like other ones do. If I went H pipe I would probaly go Mac. If everyone has one, must be good for something... lol. Then thers the Pro Chamber, but it seems like it would really mellow things out, seeing as how its almost like a muffler. I want it to be agressive as possible.

But... still dunno which to get. We all know that H's are good for retaining low end, but dont offer as much up top as an X does. Basically the opposite as an X. I want power and sound, so this is a PITA.

Idealy I would get an H pipe and Flows, but make it so the H gave the umph of the X... haha. That has got to be the most badass sound on a Mustang, but I want to unlock as much power as I can. But I also think the UPR X and Flows or Mac would be a very unique setup... PLUS I would have my stock H leftover, and if I didnt like the X setup I guess I could mutilate the stock H, cut the cats out...

Maybe im being dumb and the difference between the H and X is negligable. But this is more of a PITA than it should be...

Lets hear the low down from you guys.

X-pipes are also better for flow.
