Way to noisy now

Ares · 03-10-2001, 06:11 PM

Offroad X-pipe plus MAC exhaust is just to damn noisy. The stupid mufflers now sound like most the internal baffing isnt welded. I have had cars with glasspacks that were so much quieter. Guess it time for Flowmaster 50 series.

I know what you mean, man. When I bought my Cobra it had a BBK offroad H-pipe with FACTORY mufflers and it was too loud for me. When you get rid of the cats, you really increase the noise. I am also thinking of getting some Flowmaster Delta Flow 3 chambers after I get my MAC h-pipe with hi-flow cats. I am going to wait until after I hear it with the H-pipe before I make a definite decision on the muffs. I like a little sound, but I don't like it too loud. I don't want my Mustang to sound as loud as a damn Harley without mufflers when I drive by! By the way, how do you like you MAC CAI?

You guys are missing the point of having a Mustang they are meant to be loud that adds to the intimidation factor I'am not trying to start a flame but I think that a bad *** sounding Mustang is better than a raspy sounding Slowmaro or Firechicken anyday!!!!!!!1

I have to disagree. When it comes to a V-8 powered car I prefer it to have that deep tone that lets you know it will tear your heart out. Not this raspy high pitched wheezing I have now. I have never had a car with dual exhaust and no cats ever sound this bad. 1979 Firebird has no cats and flowmaster 3 chambers that is super mellow and no drone. I just hate to put money in an exhaust only to have to replace it already.

As for the MAC CAI, I like it alot. It helped knock 3 tenths off my time when car was stock. It to me seemed to help motor breath better at high rpm.

Ah put stock H-pipe back on. Soon as I have time I will order Dynomax cats and weld them into the X-pipe. For $51 each it will save me $100 compared to have buying the X-pipe with cats. Time to wipe the dust off the mig welder.

Ares,
Ives got an x-pipe w/cats and the dynomax mufflers. I think they're a great combo...

The vehicle has that nice throaty sound, but it doesn't wake up the neighborhood either.
The perfect combination in my opinion...

Cool, I'll check it out. With the X-pipe and MAC exhaust will wake up the dead 20 miles away

, that not good.

That's what you get when you go with an offroad x-pipe and baffled mufflers. You might just try welding in some Dynomax ultraflows, which will quiet you down a bit and improve the sound. Or if you want it to sound better with baffled mufflers, you should try switching to a h-pipe...

Yah I may endup ditching this MAC system, tailpipes dont hang in right spot sounds bad with x-pipe. I may switch to Dynomax Super turbo mufflers I always like them plus they flow good.
