I'm not spending big $$$$ on an exhaust system for a stock 5.0.

I'm going to risk getting flamed, but unless you're dead set on changing the sound, leave the stockers on. If its power you're after, find some other way. You won't notice a difference on a stock 5.0 anyway. You just might regret having cheap rusted out aftermarket exhaust (like me) over the stock stainless. Don't get me wrong, whatever you put on over stock will sound louder and cooler, but its just show.

I'm not looking for power...just sound. If I want power, all I have to do is walk another 20yrds to my garage and hop into the '82GT!!
