What brand exhaust do you recommend?

afburd · 04-22-2002, 06:43 AM

What brand exhaust sounds the best? I've currently got Flows on my '90 LX 5.0, but I'm looking for a different sound, any recommendation? I've yet to hear a Mustang with Borla but I've heard people say they sounded great...thanks for any input.

Get an Offroad H pipe on those flowmasters and you'll be happy.

Hey brother, I've already got an H-pipe and I'm runnin' through gutted cats, I'm just looking for a different sound, I've been runnin' Flows for 4 years. Thanks for the suggestion.

IS YOUR H-PIPE STOCK W/
GUTED CONVERTERS. SHOULD
GET 2 1/2" H-PIPE. EQUAL
LENGTH SHORTIES. TRY THE
MACK CAT BACK SYSTEM.

I switched last year from my flowmasters to a Mac power chamber H pipe & cat back, all 3". I love it! It sounds nasty at high rev's.

You could try Bassani mufflers. Not to many people have them and they will give you a different sound.

stick with the flowmasters. they sound great, switch to an X-pipe. if you have an H-pipe or just lower your car to get out of emissions and just let the exhaust dump. that is what i did, and they sound mean. but that was with a 5.4L motor. the sound is alot different than a 4.6

afburd · 04-24-2002, 12:49 AM

Can anyone describe the sound difference in the X pipe versus the H pipe? Do you know of anywhere on the Internet I can hear the difference too? Thanks.

vtec8ter · 04-24-2002, 06:29 AM

an X-pipe is loud. kinda sounds like a Cobra type R. an H-pipe is not as deep of a sound as an X pipe, in my humble opinion. go with the flowmasters. X or H they both sound great.

X-pipe and Dynomax Ultraflows. Quiet at idle and screams at WOT.
