I just got my exhaust done on my stang. Hooker headers, 2.5 inch pipes, Magnaflow X pipe, and flowmaster 2 chambers, then 90 degree turndowns before the axel. IT SOUNDS SOOO GOOD!! SOO LOUD!!!!

The headers give tons of grunt compared to the stock manifolds, the X pipe makes it rev sooo smooth and gives it a High pitch Road racing sound at high rpms! And those flowmasters, OH MY GOD I LOVE THEM TO DEATH!!! Its not noisy in the car AT ALL, those turndowns open towards the ground and its not bad inside the car at all. that 480 bucks is the best investment ive made so far. HUGE power increase too!!! I HIGHLY suggest an X pipe to anybody! Great sound and smooth performance!

2.5 inch pipes give alot of tin-hollowy sound to the motor at idle, but im sure 3 inch pipes would do that alittle more.

The flowmaster are really loud and tin-like sound when theyre cold, at bout 3400 rpm theres a really loud spot where its almost like a pop of extra volume! its really aweome. When they warm up its deeper and a bit more mellow, and theres more grunt when warm.

Only ONE problem left, its my ignition, everything from my distributor to my plugs, are going bad. So starting with plugs im gunna replace all of it.. My car stumbles alot as the rpms go up sometimes cause of the ignition , my carb was re-tuned by the pros at the shop, free of charge! the carb is better than ever now, my distributor is just fouling.

All and all the flows and X pipe are great technology, It All Works GREAT together. Hope all goes well with your car too!
