Well if you get magnaflow i suggest getting the magna packs. Especially if you want an aggressive sound... Mine has a nice idle and a somewhat aggressive part throttle to it but when its opened up.... YOUR GONNA WAKE THE NEIGHBORS' NEIGBORS.... Especially if you go with an o/r h or x pipe...

i'd go with an off-road H and an american thunder cat-back from flowmaster. Thats what i'm gonna get when i get some more money. It sounds great, even with the stock headers. And the 5.0 and Flowmaster sounds go together well IMO

Mac cat-back. Mac o/r h-pipe. The 5.0 was meant to sound like this.

Spintech sportsmans or prostreets with an offroad x or h pipe......

But seriously bro, you are gonna get a MILLION different opinions. Best thing to do it go to mustangexhaust.com, search for exhaust clips, ask guys, go to the local hang out or race track and listen to different setups.

Good Luck!

my opinion is you wont go wrong with any of the muffs these guys recommend you .....the 5.0 sounds f4ukin b@d@ss with most aftermarket muffs...you cant go wrong..just decide if you want a nascar sound or a muscle car sound

Dont get SLP and your car will sound good. Thats all I have to say. Especially with an o/r midpipe.

thanks man...

I love my exhaust.. It is not quite as tingy as a bassani but sounds close to it. i can keep it down late at night and not get a ticket but then again i can make her scream.. I have never had any other street car out do me reving engines... they rev theirs and i DEFFEN them.. lol
I honestly have not heard a loader exhaust on street car. I think the stroker and blower help that out a little though hehehe...

Bad thing is cops can hear it from really far... On my 1/4 clip you can still hear my exhaust at the end...

lol everyone tells me magnaflows are the best sounding muffler over at brothers performance they all swear by it...altho its a little to quiet for my taste but maybe that will change when i get an offroad pipe. I think the borlas probably sound better from the clips ive heard just theyre a bit pricey. and personally i like the side exhaust for our cars.

If I didn't have to worry about emissions I would have gotten long tubes, an o/r x and a borla catback.
