'01 cobra exhaust systems
 

Anybody out there have any opinions on the exhaust systems and what to go with? I was thinking flowmaster with some sort of h or x pipe. It sounds pretty damn good stock, and i don't want to lose the growl or get that rappy sound you here so often. I also obviously don't want to sound like a freakin import. I do do quite a bit of highway driving so i don't want something that will be obnoxiously loud either.

As far as the x or h pipe, what are the pros and cons? Who makes the best ones? What is the sound difference between the x vs. the h, and the cats vs. no cats?

Sorry for all of the questions, but the mustang is a new toy, i always played with trucks before.

First of all there is NO WAY IN HELL you car will sound like a import.

I would got with a X pipe. They are more suited to you Cobra's powerband. As for mufflers, Flowmasters are popular, MAC's are good too. It's really a matter of opinon.

You will get a good bit more power with no cats. Plus a off-road X pipe is cheaper. If you live in a area that requires emission testing, either get one with cats or keep you stock one and put it on when you get tested.

ok so x pipe with no cats, but which one? bassani, BBK, borla? how mutch louder than stock is a x pipe with flows gonna be?

The rule of thumb on the Cobra's is that if you go with an X-pipe (as opposed to an H-pipe) you want a flow-through type muffler like a Dynomax Ultra-Flo or a MagnaFlow. If you go with an H-pipe, then you should use a chambered type muffler such as the Flowmasters. If you mix the two, people say it sounds shi**y.

The H-pipe combo has a deeper sound, but makes a few less ponies. The X-pipe combo has a little bit higher pitch sound, but still sounds really good in my opinion, it is quiet at low rpms but really screams at WOT....... and it makes a few more hp too.

It's people like you!

that make people like me drool:D
