o.k i'm new to the lvc family, so please bare with me.I own a 1995 mark viii. 114000 miles.I would like to have some help in picking a exhaust muffler and tips. I do not want something to loud that will invade my cabin, but a nice throaty tone on the outside that says quality. please help! any sound clips that you guys can direct me to will be extremely helpful.
 
hello, i understand that the stock 4.6 L fords and not a true dual exhaust because only one pipe runs from the engine. MY QUESTION IS WILL CHANGING THE MUFFLER REALLY GIVE ME A SATISFACTORY SOUND AND NOTICEABLE PULLING POWER? I REALLY DON'T WANT TO SPEND A LOT ON PLACING A TRUE DUAL EXHAUST.
 
There is SO MUCH discussion on that topic here already, I have to recommend you do some research with the search function first. Many of us have posted pictures, videos, and discussed at length, or exhaust systems.
 
a true dual exhaust is bad for FI engines. why that term still lives on I'll never know. the closest you can get with out compromising performance is an offroad x pipe with straight pipe from there. You need to let the pressure equalize in these motors with either an H, X, or Y pipe. Yes you can still see gains from doing an exhaust but just like anything else its all about the weakest link. Change your muflers only, you hear it and thats about it. Change your cats, and exhaust, you might see some gain in track time, but to do an exhaust right, you need to swap everything from the heads out the back end of the car. And like doing an intake without and exhaust, you wont see max gains from your exhaust till you do other modification elsewhere. Your engine breathes...... the more you breath in the more you need to breath out. If you only breath in X you dont need to breath out X^4. Balance is key!


Think of exhaust like Weed.... "its a gateway drug." Yeah you get a minor high, but it only leads to freeing up the rest of the engines potential. And once you start with one, you have to do the rest. You may even justify it to yourself byu saying "I spent all this on an exhaust, i clearly need a kenny bell SC to make that investment in my exhaust worth the money."
 
I had to jump this one... Weed is like exhaust??!?!!?... whah?... that's a funny one... hehehee... but thing about it is when you breathe in weed it doesn't come out the same way.. you don't fart out a big cloud... I mean just think of all the stoners that would be out there tryin to suck butt... sorry... I'm a big advocate on the decriminalization of pot... and it's not a gateway drug... I'm sure most people drink alcohol before they smoke pot... it was Big Ol' Ronnie Reagan that got that term stuck in our heads.... and if you're curious you're gonna try everything else regardless if you smoke pot or not... I never figured out why it's illegal and so many things that are worse aren't... like salvia?...

but yeah he's right about the exhaust part... I don't really know that much about it but from what I've gathered... if you do really any mods tryin to get any extra horsies you should do a lot that way you're really gettin your moneys worth... changing the mufflers would make it sound different if that's all youre goin for... I'm sure others are gonna chime in... but I if I recall the magnaflows are the nicer of the brands for sound... but I could be wrong...
 
The first thing I did to my 95 was put a 100% true dual exhaust on it.
it was loud, rude obnoxious.. and one person told me that it sounded like a "hay hauling pick up truck".

now for the performance aspect.
Stock my car went 15.3 in the 1/4.. with the true duals it went 15.3 in the 1/4.

got a picture of this true dual set up?

people call the xpipe straight pipe true duals and its not. True duals would have headers and pipes going straight back to the rear. if you ran true duals and didnt see any gain, I would be surprised...... should have lost power

I won back to back to back bracket championships three years in a row, and every trip I made to the track I had a "safety meeting" on the ride there.

Ssssshhhh dont tell anyone, it's bad enough they got beat three years in a row by "some old guy in a lincoln".. they'd really be pissed if they found out it was "some old stoned guy in a lincoln"..

LMAO!

Just a question..... Why in you pov is salvia worse than weed?

because it's physically impossible to ingest enough marijuana to overdose, whereas it's not terribly hard to get a fatal dose of salvia.

you would have to smoke a metric ton of marijuana to get enough THC into your system to reach a "fatal level".

WTF? having a true dual exhaust doesnt require a set of headers.
True dual exhaust is two seperate exhaust pipes that do not crossover or in any way "join" exhaust gases from one side of the motor with the other.

I had two individual pipes, one drivers side and one passenger side.
TRUE DUAL EXHAUST <--not rocket science there.

Then I added an Xpipe {not an LMS xpipe) and the car ran MUCH better and picked up between .3-.4 in the 1/4 mile.

Then I ditched the blowmasters and got some REAL MUFFERS aka Magnaflows and enjoyed a very nice sounding exhaust.

I've had 2-1-2 exhaust
I've had 2-2 exhaust
I've had 2-X-2 exhaust

the last sounded best and performed the best
 
Yeah totally... my doctor actually recommended it for my migraines and stomach ulcer... since then hardly notice the ulcer... and it helps the migraines alot... but yeah it's physically impossible to OD... but my a friend of mine took one hit of salvia and almost drove his car into a pole... had to stop lie down in the grass on the side of the road and couldn't get up till the cops came to see what was going on... and they didn't do anything... CAUSE IT"S LEGAL!?!?... he said it everything changed... couldnt see straight got really anxious... said he got really messed up... enough he couldn't drive and hardly could walk... flushed the rest of the stuff he bought... crazy you can just go buy the stuff in a store...
 
ok so its not a markviii, but it might as well be, project thundermark, its a 95 bird with a 95 markviii dohc with kooks headers, no cats, 2 bullett mufflers then a xpipe, and 2 small magnaflows outback. the kooks headers make it LOUD
