My first aftermarket system consisted of : Removing the cats, keeping the pre-cats, H-pipe to Flowmasters (40 series)..all in 2.5 inch piping ending in 3 inch tips.

OUTCOME = Mildly LOUD ..outside and inside..good sound though...just like the Mustang.

My second aftermarket system consisted of : removing the pre-cats, Pro-chamber, Flowmasters (40 series)...all in 2.5 inch piping ending in 3 inch tips.

OUTCOME = Obnoxiously LOUD...outside and inside...great sound...just like the mustang only louder...damn did I say it was LOUD...trust me it was LOUD.

My latest aftermarket system consists of : No cats, X-pipe, Stainless Steel Magnaflows...all in 2.5 inch piping ending in Stainless Steel Magnaflow 3 inch tips.

OUTCOME = Extremely Mildly LOUD past 3500 rpms..not obnoxious though. Below 3500 rpms all is quiet inside...however outside, people around you know there is something going on under your hood. Old school sound...not like the Flowmasters at all. The older crowd loves the sound. I am still not used to it...so I cannot say that I love it, but I definitely do not hate it.

Bottomline, if you want the growl of the mustang, stick with the Flowmasters. My next choice of mufflers will be the Flowmaster Super 40's..suppose to have the characteristics of the Magnaflows, however, sounding like the Mustangs during heavy throttle-ing and/or WOT.

Hope this helps..

What kind of sound are you looking for? There are so many options, but if you give a better idea of what you are looking for, we might be better able to point you in the right direction.

I would say 2.25" hi cats, x, and some flowmasters.

Hey bmnlsc... Which setup do you think gave you the best power gain, if any?

Posted by: taz44

If i remove the precats, keep the backcats and remove the mufflers, run 2.5 in. pipe and end with 3 in. tips?

Just get a whole new system. An x pipe will help you down low. And I don't think keeping the 2" pipes up front will help with any kind of power gains. The only way for power gains. Is to do the whole thing. If you want the sound just get the flowmasters made for the M7 and stick them up there. Direct fit!

No Mufflers No Power

The get the direct bolt up Flowmasters. Then you don't have to worry about anything. Go to cardomain.com/id/sifrino3. Page Four, go down about half way anf the flowmaster section should be there with part numbers. I believe one side of your xhaust is 2" and the other is 2.25". All you need is the parts number. Then search the web using Flowmaster ##### and you should be able to order right away. I would use Summitracing.com. Just because they are very trust worthy. Some sites gives me the goose bumps. (Worry about my order from crappy sites.)

Dude, if you are just goin for sound, it can be affordable, Jeg's offroad H pipe 2.5 inch is $109, 2 Flowmaster super 40's are $160 (note: i did say Super 40s, the badboy muffler), and LX tails (if you want em) are around $100 a set, all you'd need then would be a few minor modifications, some tools, or pay someone to do it, get some exhaust tips, you'd be set.

flowmasters don't flow

aerochambers, dynomax ultraflows, borla, spintech, summit welded...all good performance mufflers

Um Dude. You're comparing apples to oranges. Both are great products but each has specific attributes to achieve different results.

Flow Master series 30s are perfect for me because they provide racing performance while remaining street legal (in Pennsylvania) and not setting off theneighbors' car alarms.

Almost daily, I see cars with 1.8 liter engines and mufflers the size of tree trunks and these things sound like a lawnmower on steroids, setting off car alarms almost constantly.

Mufflers are like religion; it's what you were raised with that means the most to you. Enjoy what you got

s flow nice. You can "uncap" them and they are wicked. Dig it.
