Which Is Louder?

I WANT TO MAKE MY CAR LOUDER WITH MORE MUSCLE AND WAS THINKING ABOUT ADDING A OFFROAD H PIPE BUT IM NOT SURE IF AN X PIPE WOULD BE LOUDER WHAT IS YOUR ADVISE ON MAKING MY 5.0 LOUDER? :evillol:

i have an h pipe with 2 camber flowmasters and it sounds loud an x pipe will give you a more raspy, crackly noise... headers also make it a little louder and help performance wise... :2cents:

If u want to be loud go off road x or h u can barley notice the differnce that i can tell but x is alittle more raspy. Headers are a great hp buy plus it makes it louder. Slp loud mouth cat back is loud as hell when u want it to be and not much louder at idle or cruise then stock.

the offroad h is louder than the x..but that is just my opinioin...if you want loud loud but not just loud go w/ flows 2cham.

I've got flowmaster 40s and high flow H-pipe, and it's incredibly loud. But it's got a nice grumble to it. God i love 8's..

unbolt headers for real noise.

headers high flo cat/or none we wont tell =p
3 inch exhaust will add grumble.

The H-pipe produces a nicer sound, (especially the Mac Pro-Chamber) but the X-pipe usually produces a little (read 2-3hp) more power. I think the H-pipe would be a little louder. Although I have an X-pipe on my car, with shorty headers and flowmaster 2 chamber mufflers with turndowns, and I set off car alarms literally every day :iceslolan Just a couple of days ago I set off like 3 or 4 in a parking lot just by driving past them. I think that's loud enough for a daily driver. :)

h :biggrin: ey motor head that is exactly the kind of loud I want. where I can set off alarms and shit. Do you know how much it would cost me to have all that done and where might it be cheaper to purchase these?

long tube headers also make it a little louder too...

parking garages are fun :evillol:

I agree, but it wasn't in a parking garage :lol2: It was an outdoor parking lot. I haven't been in a parking garage with the Cobra yet. I'll be sure to set off some alarms when I do.

As for where to get the parts, I would try summit racing and Jegs, those are my favorite places. Keep in mind though that I have an F303 camshaft, and GT-40 heads. (Which I'm hoping to replace with AFR 165s).

I know what you mean lol. I was at the mall the other day, went through their parking garage. There would be headlights blinkin before I ever turned the corner lol, heard the horns echoeing all over when I parked lol.
But ya when I was in school there where 2 black v6 mustangs, a back v6 firebird, and a red z28 camaro that I set off every single day. There where other but it just depended how close I got to them lol. Damn sensitive ass alarms. Gets annoying after a while.

haha yeah, alarms are fun...i remember last semester on campus there was always this black T/A that parked in the same spot and everyday i drove by it, the alarm went off...one day i caught it when the kid was walking away from it...i just smiled

just my input:
my boss has a 99 cobra with an x-pipe and its pretty quiet, and his partner has a 96 gt with an h-pipe and its noticeably louder than the cobra's

Well your right about the parking garages and some outside parking lots I can set them off with the rumble but I want it to be louder and sound meaner you know. I might try jeggs or summit for the pipes. It does sound like its going to be an off-road H pipe that im going to end up with.
