What Exhaust Sould I Get?

bpchlop · 02-28-2001, 09:28 PM

I want to put a cool sounding exhaust on my stock 1998 Mustang GT. What should I get? I don't want something that is too loud. I am thinking about Flowmaster's "American Thunder" kit, but I am thinking it might be too loud. What do you think?

Are you planning on headers and a H or X pipe? If so, I would go with a MAC 2 3/4" cat back system. But that is just me. Flows sound great, don't they?

One Flowmaster kit comes with 2 chambers (maybe the Amer. Thunder?) and the other has 3 chambers. If you want something quieter, get the 3 chambers. Those are almost socially acceptable. The MAC kits sound good too.

Well me personaly I would go with a least a 2.5" from header back. No cats with some 40 series Flowmasters. I have tried quite a few and the only thing I like better is the Borla system. But that is a little expensive; I wish I would have never sold mine.

Oh, I almost forgot about Bassani!!! It's very pricey, which is why I don't have them yet, but they sound so *bleeping* great!!
