i would never put a 30 dollar muffler on my car lol!

Don't be knocking those race bullets, they're loud and flow like open pipes...got me in trouble with the law too...now I run Spintech ProStreets and love 'em more than the Dynomax...but just 'cause it's $30 don't mean it's s**t...how much do you think the crappy ones Ford builds them with are worth ?

I just put on a Magnaflow O/R X pipe, and it sounds raspy to me. A little to raspy for a V8 car IMO. Sounds pretty good at idle, and not too bad at WOT, but a little much just driving around.
I was hoping more for the classic V8 muscle car sound, sounds like I might need an "H" instead of an "X".
What I noticed most though was how much less my car decelerated when letting off the gas, or downshifting. The stock pipe with cats must add a ton of backpressure.

I also do get a "loose metal" sound every once in a while, and I get a sound almost like an exhaust leak, but I think it is actually pinging. Anyone else run into issues like these?

You guys spend more ****ing money on exhaust than anything else switching them out just because you don't like how they sound...I spent around $750 total on my exhaust setup....bbk off-road x-pipe /w mil's and flowmasters. X-pipe was 400, mufflers + install = 250 + 80 for mils

you guys changing them in and out is over 1,000 total in just exhaust...

u spent $400 for that horrid sounding xpipe, i spent $120 when the mustangtuning xpipe was first put on the market and it sounds 100000008585005050508604984950920924309988643 times better than the BBK xpipe.

Agreed. Mine doesn't rattle, nor is it horrid sounding. Some people just like rasp, pop, & burble; myself included.
