Hey guys I'm new here and I just got my first mustang. I am pumped to be an owner and I am loving the car. Here are some pics. Hope you like it.

p.s. I want to put a bassani catted x and bassani axleback on it soon. I would appreciate your opinions on this set up and if you have any vids or sound clips of a similar set up that would be great. Thanks for looking.

Nice car! My opinion on the exhaust is........ I like the sound of an h-pipe much better. More low end growl. With a set of longtubes it will still have the cracking sound under hard acceleration. The x-pipe is only worth a few hp at best and sounds nasty IMO.

Thanks for the info and compliments, Can anyone give me some pointers on which h-pipe to get and where. If I just want a little louder, low rumble (kind of like the stock sound just a little louder) would you suggest just axlebacks?

X pipes absolutely give the best torque and HP over the entire RPM range. If you need any proof, just look to the GT500 which is the 1st Mustang to have a X from the factory.

With that said, I have a Basanni catted X on mine 2001 GT and it does sound sort of crappy below 3,000 RPM. Above 3500 RPM and especially at high RPM, WOT it sounds awesome.

Basannis are made real nice, with 300 alloy stainless that won't rust.

I you want the best sound at lower RPMs go with an H.

If you want maximum power and want it to really sing at high RPMs, get and X.

I suggest any stainless steel offering. Magnaflow, Borla, Bassani, etc. Stay away from cheap stuff if you have the cash for stainless steel. I have JBA longtubes, JBA catted h-pipe, Magnaflow catback, and it sounds excellent.
