how many 1/10ths do you think my or x pipe gives me? i am about to have a baby with my wife and fear i may hardly ever get to drive my gt due to the current setup being so loud and raspy! i was concidering puting back my factory 4 cat h pipe. but was wondering how much slower i might be in the 8th mile?
not overly quick as it is only running 9.5!

If you wanna quiet down and still have some performance then get an aftermarket catted H and the regular maganaflow catback...

$$$$!!!!
I dont have or want to spend what might total $500 on exhaust components when i already have over $500 in my current setup. Thanks for your ideas though

i have a love/hate thing going on with my exhaust!
love it being loud and rude and making folks snap their necks round to see my mustang, also get quite a few complements.
hate it droning for the 2 hr round trip to the 8th mile. it also has this high pitched noise around 2000rpm thru 3500rpm, i find myself shifting before 2000rpm to avoid pissing off the neighbours and getting tickets.

I see your have an LM1 though....why don't you try putting it up for trade? I'm sure lots of people with the regular magnaflow would want to trade for them

Even with your stock H-Pipe the LM-1's will still keep your car being loud. There's a kid at my work who runs the LM1's through the stock mid-pipe and manifolds and it's still loud. Also, with the stock H in place you will regain lost torque down low by adding more back-pressure. You'll like the torquey feel. As for overall horsepower, you should not lose more than 8-10 MAX.

Run a better tire if you are worried about 10ths.

Re-installed the factory h pipe (4cats) and to my supprise my et actually improved!!!
i was shocked My previous best was 9.5 and i pulled a 9.4! no other mod changes. same tire pressure. same track. same hummid sweaty weather!!

I only swapped it out to quietten the exhuast! who wants to buy a stainless ex xpipe?!!

you shouldnt lose any time at all in the 1/8th....in fact your car should be running quite a bit faster than a 9.5 if i recall my stock GT ran 8.7 with flowmaster weld ins on stock tires. what you really need is a lil more practice to get the those times down
