sup guys...now, i got my intake and its a mac, that was the only one i could afford...i had some people from a local stang krew tell me good things and bad things about mac but their were more good things so i just got that one. its not bad at all, nice sound. anyways, now my next thing is exhaust. im really confused on what to get. should i get mufflers, or cat-back?i said this is my other post too, im not lookin to race or anything, just want a nice deep sound. thanx for the info!

cat-back just means its the pieces from your h-pipe(where the cats are) on back. meaning mufflers and tailpipes. you could just get the mufflers but then you would have to measure what would fit. plus the stock exhaust is 2.25", where as the most aftermarket cat-backs are 2.5", which gives you room to add more power. also sounds better with bigger pipes. IMO, i would definitely spring for the whole cat-back. go with Flowmaster AT's(like $230 for the cat-back from summit), you wont be dissapointed!

Not looking to race but just add sound. Sorry guys I would weld in some mufflers. Way cheaper. I really think these mandrel bends and pipe sizing is overated on stock engines

Not so, you can gain anywhere from 10-25 hp by going with a complete exhaust system, depending on variables. Mandrel bent pipes will flow a lot smoother then the stock kinked and snaked pipes, even on a stock motored car. Now I'm not sure what year car you have, but if you want a combination of sound and performance then get headers, o/r h-pipe, and a nice cat back. Dynomax or Magnaflow are my personal favs.

Okay headers, mid-pipe, catback for lets say conservatively $1000 plus install on a stock engine for big gains. I'll take timing adjuster, gears, Pro 5.0, nitto's for around the same ballpark. Better bang for the buck. But only my :2cents: I'm 40ish and my days of 454 vettes, Boss Mustangs etc where I believe exhaust really opened them up is gone

MAC isn't all that bad, you get what you pay for with them. Flowmasters suck too!
Did you guys notice that in MustangRoadRacers pic there's a red mustang in the background?

used to be an Eclipse.
Little bit of investigating on my part got the answer.
Searched for 'USA Motorsports' - like it says on the door. It's some place in San Antonio. They have a gallery of stuff they have done - that particular one is the 'Diablo'. And they have some butt ugly riced out 'Stangs as well - pitiful. (On the bright side, there is some nice eye-candy in some of their pics though!)
Back to the thread - what is everyone's opinion on 'Magnapacks'?
I like the cracklin' sound they give rather than a low rumble. Thoughts?

Borla, very good, so are Magnaflow, and Dynomax. Any straight through design, is proven better than any chambered muffler, plus no drone in a straight through design.
Flowmaster do not make more power either;) Contrary to popular belief.

flowmaster makes power, but not as much as lets say bassani,dynomax, magnaflow...i really hate borla though i dont know i just have a bad vibe against that company i think its because my buddies mom's T/A has borla exhaust

It gets a bad vibration?
That should not be the muffler doing that. It sounds like the exaust needs to be installed correctly.
Borla makes damn good mufflers.

We don't think they suck, we know they suck.
They drone, there too loud, you can make more power with the other type of mufflers as well.

Oh jezze, let the exhaust man talk...Screw Cat-Backs, Forget Flowmaster, Magnaflow, and the way over priced Borla Mufflers. Buy the real deal, buy a Spintech or Dynomax!

are you crazy? Chambered muffler block flow. Its like slamming into a wall and bouncing around. They need a muffler that is straight through or has the spin design to help keep exhaust flow running smooth along with great sound. All flowmaster mufflers do is make things sound different than stock.
