Default Exhaust systems???????

Hey Guys new to the Mustang world and need some advice about an exhaust system. I was doing the brakes on my 90 GT vert with AOD
and noticed the whole back half of the system is rotted out, looks to be all original. I want to go with a complete systems headers all the
way back, in your opinions whats the best system to go with. Thanks in advance for your help, Jeff

If you want that classic 5.0 sound get Mac Straight Back.

SLPs if you like to be obnoxiously loud lol

I am looking for more of the classic 5.0 sound, being a vert I don't want it to loud, 98MustangGT46 I like the way your sounds, nice deep tone and not to loud.
I was thinking some Super44's I think I have heard a clip with those on a 5.0here someplace but can't find it.

Well mines a 4.6 so its sounds a little different than a 5.0. I heard super 44s are deep.

My 89 had an off road h and flowmasters. It sounded very good.

here's a clip of my setup, bbk equal length shortied, bbk hpipe no cats, and flowmaster 40's.
this is also with a completely aftermarket motor and it was louder with the new motor than it was with the stocker.
this clip is just at idle, and don't ask for another clip cause my motors on its way to chicago and the cars in michigan
