seriously considering L/Ts

[DerekStangGT]

so i need people to talk me into them. i dont have the money right now, but i would say in about 2 months i will be set to get some L/Ts and a matching shorty. here are my questions/requests

-which brand L/Ts are the best for power gains AND sound? (will sacrifice sound for performance)
-which is the best shorty midpipe (power/sound), or can a muff shop just cut my o/r x to fit?
-can i see some dyno graphs PLEASE????

thanks a lot guys for the help

i am going t be buying longtubes soon when i get some cash flow. from what i heard it it gives a very nice noticable gain and beefs up the sound on your exhaust. as for brand i would suggest BBK,or hooker, try to stay away from MAC i heard a few bad things about their headers(leaks).
As for shorty mid-pipes IMO o/r H pipe sounds awesome on our cars it gives a nice muscle car rumble, iv heard and x pipe sounds weird with long tubes(rasp).

how does your shorty h sound w/ the L/Ts? raspy? deep?

For the money u spend on the headers, long tubes or shorties, its not worth it. Its maybe about a 5-7 hp gain. And they are a Bi^&h to install.

I've seen many dyno's with LT's adding 15+ rwhp
dyno's people posted here

sorry to be rude, but if you dont' know what you are talking about DO NOT post

i gained 18 rwhp on a MUSTANG dyno,which reads lower than a dynojet if you don't already know that. it would have been 20+ rwhp on a dynojet dyno.

as for brand i would suggest BBK,or hooker, try to stay away from MAC i heard a few bad things about their headers(leaks).

what you are thinking about are the full length prochambers, the gasket they give you sucks. it's better to re-use the stock one. the only complaint people have about mac headers is their HTS coating, because of a tendancy to rust. but mac has made some very nice improvements in their lines of product & really stepped up their quality. if you don't want the HTS coating, they now have a "ceraMAC" coating that's much better.

never go off of what people "hear". find people that actually have the stuff & ask their opinion. i've had a full mac exhaust on 2 GT's & love it, i prolly wont own another exhaust on any other mustang, just cause i love the sound & it makes great power
