I have Spintech ProStreets on my 93 LX. It was a pain to fit on, im running Flowmaster 2.5" tailpipes on them. they dont sound too bad, has a nice low tone....I do have to have new inlet pipes made for them, and have the whole catback readjusted so they stop hitting the damn framerail.

Ive got FMS shorty's and a BBK off road X going in as soon as i get my HCI stuff, so ill see how they sound after that.

I'm going to have to say you must be deaf...

I have run Hooker, Flowmaster, Mac, Spintech and been in countless other cars with everything from Bassanis, to SLPs to Borla, probably EVERY muffler out there and ther is no muffler you wont hear. Also the Macs I had droned nearly as much as my Flowmasters.

I ran those mufflers with...

Shortys, Off Road H
Shortys, Prochamber
Shortys, Gutted cat H
Shortys, Stock H

Long Tubes, Stock cats
Long Tubes, Prochamber

And every one of the set ups droned and "made noise" at highway speeds. I'd get them ears checked if I were you.

I run Spintechs, O/R X and Long Tubes now...

It's all in the engine setup, not so much the mufflers. If you've got a full MAC setup and it sounds like a truck, then it's your engine that sounds like a truck....after all it is the engine that's making the sound, not the mufflers. You can't make a bass guitar sound like a Les Paul, and you can't make a stock engine sound like a racecar.


This is 100% MAC exhaust from the engine back:

I'm not saying changing mufflers won't sound better or make you like it more...just trying to make a point.

The 1st mustang couldnt have been stock...sounded like it has a decent cam in it...also im sure the newer 5.0's have a little more compression then my 85...Plus i was told by my Exhaust shop that does nothing by high quality stuff told me Mac mufflers are decent But with the Flows it will be what i guess i would say im looking for....Louder........plus he going to custom make a set of mufflers with dumps that i can cap and have tails so i can drive it normal...If i want it loud then i can un-cap it again...I thought that was a good idea....

That's exactly my point....the "sounded like a truck" portion you referred to is probably because your engine is mostly or totally stock. The louder you make it the more it's probably going to accentuate that sound. Also...nothing sounds more like a truck than Flowmasters...but that's just my opinion

Does your car sound like this? This is a stock 5.0 with an aftermarket intake and a 650 Holley

Search YouTube for "Manowar Bass Solo" and you may need to reconsider that phrase.
