I would check different places, I know it can be done. There is a Roush around here with some Mac's on it,

You could always go with a ProChamber.

Alright. I just put Mac LT's, a Mac off road h pipe and Flowmaster mufflers. If you are looking for that scary, classic, amazing muscle car sound, go with a cat less H pipe. When you start getting into x pipes and or a Prochamber, you are going to get that raspy, annoying, popping, higher-pitched sound. I personally don't like it and couldn't be happier with my new setup. Its so throaty and mean sounding. Perfect in my opinion.

I couldn't disagree more. Have you ever heard a ProChamber in person? Have you ever heard them paired with 40 series Flows? The sound is SO far from being "raspy, annoying, popping, higher pitched sound".

Don't get me wrong, I love the sound of your setup. The problem is, so does everyone else that has a Mustang. There are far to many exhaust options out there to follow the same thing that has been done for years.

Well i'm starting to learn that in some cases an o/r h is actually louder and more raspy than a o/r x.

An x pipe or prochamber (in some cases) can actually sound more refind, and smoother with the right muffler.

YUP.

In most cases a prochamber is the deepest sound you can get.
