My wifes 01 is in need of an exhaust and i was thinking about headers back. Ill need a high flow cat H and a cat back. Im not real familiar with teh 4.6 motors and what exhaust sounds good on them but we're looking for something thats not real loud, maybe a medium on the loud scale (stock is quiet, open headers loud) I have pypes on my 88 and like them alright, never heard them on a mod motor. Brassini, Borla and the like are going to be out of my price range.
not another thread on this...

Classic 40 series Flowmasters would still leave a little bite even with a catted H, but I don't think it'd be too bad at all.
If you want sound but quiet, Delta 40 Flowmasters are quieter on the inside than the classic 40's.
Pypes sound good on a mod motor, but I personally think they sound better with an X pipe.

After hearing them on my car i could see where they may be tuned a little more for the modulars than the pushrod engines.
right now everything is stock with some holes drilled in the mufflers, cause someone thought that would be a good idea. the car wont be driven much, less than 4 or 5k miles a year so a little louder wouldnt be too bad...

Get yourself a straight through style muffler instead of a chambered one if you want to keep your cats.

A regular Magnaflow catback with a catted MRT H pipe.
It should sound really nice and not be too loud either.
Agreed, I used to have that same exact combo on my mach before I went to LT's. It sounded great & was pretty quiet, but loud enough if that makes sense LOL...

I believe it stands for Mustang Racing Technologies? MRT is a smaller company, but they make the best quality H pipes on the market for 99-04 Mustangs. They are made of full stainless piping, & the catted versions have high quality Magnaflow high flow cats. The only down side is, they are PRICEY, but the quality is worth the money IMO.
The only reason I removed the MRT h, was because I went to LT's & it would no longer fit...
Here is their link...

Yeah Mustang Racing Technologies.
The MRT H pipe is better quality than the BBK and Mac H pipe.
I wouldn't doubt it had better fitment either.

Yeah, it fit like a glove, & sounded great, but of course when I installed the Mac LT's, the MRT had to go since it wouldn't fit.
Nice I hope you got the coated version of the Mac LT's
because the uncoated ones have been known to rust on people.

Yup, I bought them used., & they are coated. They have been on my car for 2+ years, & before that my buddies car for 2 years. They are still in great shape, but they do have light surface rust near the collectors. It's ok though, because my car never sees rain & only gets driven 2K miles a year LOL...

That's not bad.Wow you never drive your car then beautiful ride none
the less.
Well, maybe 2k miles a year is an exageration LOL. But, I have only driven it about 26k miles since I purchased it in september 2006. I have only put 6k miles on it since October 2008.
Thanks for the compliment...
To the O.P., Sorry for the thread derailment

if you have the stock maifolds, the flange used to connect/remove the midpipe on the passenger side to the manifold is a bitch to get at. make sure to have an extension long enough...and a lot of PB Blaster
other than that theyre a breeze...unless theres a spacer on one of the bolts like what was on my midpipe
i had to cut it off or i would have had a terrible exhaust leak
