I have Dynomax Ultraflow mufflers now and love them. They are sort of like Magnaflow but with a bit more glasspack sound. I think the sound is definitely more old school and fitting for a classic car. i have full tail pipes with turn downs at the valance.

I had Flowmaster 40 series on my car for a little while and it the interior resonance and hollow tin can sound on the outside was terrible.

I prefer H pipes to X pipes. The sound with the H is much beefier at idle and less raspy than the X. On a mild street car, I doubt it matters much either way for performance.

I do think that side exit with glasspacks is a cool idea. I've not heard that particular setup with that kit in person before though. I have heard very similar setups that did sound more on the aggressive side, but did still sound good.

The owner before me put on flowmaster 40's and I hate how loud they are. My muffler shop recommended headers, and xpipe, and magnaflows.

not sure what I will do, but thinking of shorty headers, x pipe, and keep the 40's and see how it sounds.

The Flowmasters are not going to become less annoying with an X pipe. Do you have a n H pipe currently?

I had flow master 40's and they were way to loud and the drone was annoying as hell inside the car. I now have Borla pro xs series on it and love them.

Nope, no H pipe... just straight out. Muff. shop guy said the x would just get rid of the "crackle" sound... so it wouldn't drone so much.

After going through several different mufflers, settled on Dynomax Super Turbos.

Good performance, while still having a good sound, but not too loud or droney.

Love the sound of the tri Y's headers going to an H pipe then to Flow master 40's. Has a nice but not over powering sound to a pretty much stock car. Plus installation on the Tri Y headers wasn't bad at all.

I'm a rookie mustanger but love to tinker.
