What do you guys recommend. I am keeping my mid pipe stock for awhile and want the nicest throaty sound I can get with my stock mid pipe? I was thinking SLP loud mouth? Flowmasters dont sound that good with stock mid pipe. well my opinion anyway.

slps sounds horrible in my opinion, just go on youtbe, flowmasters are your best bang for the buck, again thats just my personal opinion.

The fact that you like SLP and dont really care for Flowmaster leads me to believe that you'd be happier with a straight-through muffler (magnaflow, SLP, etc) than a chambered muffler (Flowmaster, MAC, etc)

I dont think loudmouth 1's sound bad at all as long as you have a catted mid-pipe (O/R midpipes with SLP sounds horrible IMO). Have you considered some loudmouth 2's? I say get a pair of SLP's. They're not very expensive.

My granddad has the SLP LM2s on his Mach 1 with the stock H-pipe, and I think it sounds good. I'd assume it would at least sound similar on a 2v.

Yea, I think I will go with the SLP 2. I think they sound good with stock mid pipe. With an off road h or x it sounds kind of like a truck in a way. This is going to be my daily so i want to keep the cats.

You cant beat flowmasters for a deap throaty sound with the stock mid pipe.
But you have to live with the 2k Drone. Thats why I switched to Magnaflows.

i personally like the loudmouth I's on a stock catted mid pipe. IMO, they are just too loud and blatty with a o/r mid pipe. i like the loudmouth II's as well, probably a little better than the I's. i even like those with a o/r mid pipe.

i bought my 00 GT with well worn flowmaster weld-ins, stock mid pipe. it wasnt all that loud. it sounded ok but considering the muffler, it sounded a little too tame for my taste. swapped out for a o/r X pipe and now its VERY loud.

Youtube is a awesome place to get some ideas. what sounds good to me, sounds like crap to others.

Again, this is a very opinionated question to ask. Check out Mustangexhaust.com or some youtube clips to find out what you like. That's unless you like choosing an exhaust based off what other people like

SLP LM2's sound good. Magnaflow sound good with a cat as well.

So much personal preference. I like the sound of Borla Stingers with a stock H, but I'm not positive I want MY car to sound like that.

I really don't like anything with a stock mid pipe. It's too muffled. I had flows on a 95 GT with a stock mid pipe and when you were on the gas a little bit to accelerate like 2-5 MPH you could tell, but when you stomp on it to got up 20-50 MPH you couldn't even tell, it sounded stock.
