if its not loud it enought get O/r h or X
if you want a "nascar" sound go with x
if you want a old school muscle go with H
changing from pro to H will make it a bit louder and deeper.
if you want loud.. keep the pro and get stingers or magnapacks..i dunno anything about bullets.
im getting O/R H and packs.. i let you know how this sounds. i have a vids of some stangs if you want to hear them.

I've got an O/R X with Flow's. I'll get a clip for you. I should have it posted in a few minutes.

EDIT: Here are the links. I have a short one (just rev'ing) and then a long one (an actual drive). I have also attached a sound file of what my car sounded like before I got the X with just Flowmasters.

An O/R X pipe will really make the car sound awesome. I have an O/R X pipe from pypes exhaust (mustangtuning.com) and flows and I love it. There is a whole website dedicated to mustang exhaust sounds here... http://64.177.72.121/forums/index.php

If you decide to go with an x-pipe, I have a bassani catted x that I will probably be getting rid of, It's a little to loud and raspy sounding for my tastes. I'll give you a good deal, let me know.

To be honest I don't realy like the sound with the X, a little raspy for my likes. Loud as hell, that I like, but I'd have preferred a deeper sound.

If you want loud, and deep, and just flat out mean sounding go with the packs and O/R H Pipe. Sounds absolutely great. Thats what I got and I've got compliments from guys with old 60's camaros and newer vettes. Its a good sound, especially if you could make yourself some side exhaust without buying a premade kit. get between some buildings and let it go. sounds awesome!

magnapacks are around $400-$500
stingers are around $500-600

quality and sound is comparable
both stainless and both straigh through
personaly id go with the packs and save the 100+ for an OR H

I think he just meant that he doesn't know anything about them. That's how I read it at least

The sound is in the muflfers; the mid pipe will help you w/the tone at idle or WOT. Check out an O/R H pipe w/ 'straight thru' mufflers, and i think it will be what you're looking for

Is getting a X pipe w/ cats worth paying the xtra money or just better to go w/o cats. Is there that a big sound diff. between the two?
