Default Which Dual Exhaust?

Im getting real frustrated picking out which duals to get?

Can you please vote on which one you think sounds better/louder/deeper

I cant really tell from the clips of them

pick 2 or more if they are both good

I dont want to pay ridiculous prices at some muffler shop for some guy to hack apart my exhaust so theres an xpipe for 100 bux that you can clamp on to gt exhaust (im getting from saleen)

Im also getting y-pipe from saleen soooo

disregard pricing in this poll, i just want the best exhaust

ones that i though were too much i left out (magnaflow magnapack)

http://www.rpmoutlet.com/05gtmgp.htm (rs series motoblue for reference if you dont know) (how would they sound..i doubt anyone has them...theyre cheap and would seem to have a good sound)

Default RE: Which Dual Exhaust?

I think the key question about an exhaust is how much noise and drone will you tolerate inside the car? My GT take-off ( not duals yet) ... definitely sounds meaner but I can cruise with the stereo off and it still nice and quiet inside. With the windows down high RPM take-offs sound awesome ... I do think the Factory GT mufflers sound more like a Ferrari than a Muscle car though. I'm gonna eventuall switch to duals .. mostly for appearance ... not sure how they will sound ..


I have a 72 Maverick with a 250 6-banger. I added custom exhaust setup with a single in/dual out flowmaster 40 for a unique look. Keep in mind this is a straight six and not a V6 ... but the drone around 2000 really sucks ....

What are you looking for as far as deep loud throaty

to tell you the truth i wanted duals and i came to the conclusion that they are not worth it
so i went with the MRT single and i havent looked back
its loud (much louder than any duals i have herd)
it gets really deep after its been broken in
and i think its pretty throaty
o ya and there a 17 hp gain to the crank im told

magnaflow duals are not true duals it splits at the y pipe you will need the dual mufflers plus an x or hpipe along with a custom fabricated piping to make it true duals. I have dual gt take offs and they are pretty nice but im changing to magna duals as soon as i figure out how i wanna do it

I think I'm going with the JBA system, shorty headers, true duals (H) and mufflers, although I may try one of the aero turbine mufflers on the single exhaust just so I can determine what the difference on the dyno is with it vs the stock muffler and no muffler. The JBA headers are certified 50 state smog legal which might come in handy if you live some place that does smog checks. Also, Justin at VMP told me they were seeing slightly more torque from an H pipe then an X pipe.

Here's the sound links to JBA:

Idle and rev

Launch

Drive by


Edit: Mustang Enthusiast got a 17.7 HP and 10 ft/lb torque gain from this system. This was with just the headers, H pipe and mufflers, no other mods. Here's a link to a 5.0 Mustang magazine article.
