x pipe or prochamber

02 Black Gt · Dec 27, 2003

im going to be changing my exhaust. i currently have an o/r h pipe and flows dumped. i want to change either to an x pipe or a prochamber. whats the pros and cons of each. i will be using a magnaflow cat back system. for an x pipe i was thinking maganaflow as well. i want an o/r x pipe. i also currently have bbk shorty headers which i will be keeping. any help is greatly appreciated

Well...your screen name show you have an 02 GT......you might want to try looking into the 4.6 forums and they could give you more opinions....

I know on my 2000 GT I went with the Prochamber because you simply can't beat the sound in my opinion on a 4.6

i should have included my sig. this is for my 92

5spd GT · Dec 28, 2003

I was wondering....I figured you had a 5.0 but I was just playing it safe

Actually I would still stick with the Prochamber....a guy I know had a longtubes, prochamber, and mac catback on his 95 and it sounded dang good

I started a thread about a month ago and there was over 100 replies. Just search it. It is full of stuff.

i had heard that a prochamber sounds like a mix between a h pipe and an x pipe. i like the sound of both pipes but i want somethng a little differnet then what everyone else has (h pipe). i like the sound of the raspy x pipe butl ike the deep rumble of an h pipe. i wish i could have both. im leaning towards the procahmber

PROCHAMBER! You can hear the cam clear as hell even if it's stock with a prochamber.

i have bassani x with a magnaflow cat-back I like it a lot,

I have a link in my signature if you want to hear it,

I have an idea... go to www.mustangexhaust.com and find out what the prochamber sounds like.

02 Black Gt · Dec 28, 2003

i like the sound of the prochamber. i was hoping they would have had the setup i wanted. where is the cheapest place to buy a prochamber.

In my opinion, you'd be happy with the ProChamber then. I parked my 94 w/ProChamber next to my buddy's 95 w/MAC offroad H pipe, and mine had a deeper, more "muscular" idle. Part of that could have been due to my 3.5" tips though; he has 2 1/4" or 2 1/2" tips but I'm not sure how much of a difference that makes in the sound.

It sounds good all the way up thru the RPM's. I also don't know why people say the ProChamber is quiet. It may not be as loud as an X, but it's certainly not quiet. My car gets too much attention as it is from the exhaust...I'm not sure I'd want anything louder!

Whytry91 · Dec 30, 2003

i think you'd be happy with the prochamber, definately sounds nice, it was a little louder that my neighbors would like to handle so I went with the x, still echoes off their houses though

I installed a Dr Gas X pipe yesterday... It sounds pretty mean, and different. It did make the exhuast a little quieter from my previous offroad pipe, but once I get the headers, heads, cam, and magnapacks that should change.

02 Black Gt · Jan 1, 2004

im pretty sure im going to go with the prochamber. do they make the magnapacks for fox bodies. i didnt think they did. anybody no some good places with good prices to get the prochamber and magnalfow catback.

mike keirstead · Jan 1, 2004

They both sound good and make good power....custom x-pipe, dynomax bullets, mac long tubes here....sounds unreal.

bgjohnson · Jan 2, 2004

so where did you get em?

I find this funny

this board seems fairly anti rice
yet this talk about a prochamber vs x-pipe and out of all the replies I think only ONE person said anything about power

the rest talk about sound

sounds like rice to me

oh yeah I think someone wanted the black kettle back

I think your wrong, everyone on here does their research and they all know that no matter which one they pick they tend to only gain like 3 hp on a basically stock engine to if your lucky 10 - 15 on a modded car. so that is why you here about sound because that is the only relative difference between any of these pipes, except for marginal torque gains/losses.

rice no - "sound advice" yes

that's a pretty ballsy statement, aside from the fact that just about every performance muffler on the market makes nearly the same power numbers, give or take a hp here or there, which i'd say just about anyone would sacrifice for a better sounding muffler.

The difference here is, stock mustangs make power, performance exhaust add a little power and sound.

Stock ricecars sound like crap, and a fartcan in the back just sounds like pissed off bees in a popcan.

Can a muffler add power to a car that was manufactured with gas mileage and economy in mind? Probably. Can a muffler add power and *better* sound than a Mustang would normally have? Absolutely.

Besides man, if you're gonna shell out the beans, why not decide on the sound you're gonna hear every time you drive?
