Let me know what you guys think...my next mod is Kook's headers with catted X-pipe and exhaust at the same time. Thanks all.

I really like my setup. All SLP. Long Tube headers, High Flo catted X Pipe, and PowerFlo axlebacks. Great sound! (sorry, no clip)

I have the Powerflos's and like them....just need to decide on headers. Do the headers make a big difference over the Bassani X-pipe with high flow cats?

I am a fan of the o/r h pipe and 2 chamber flows. Ive had the set up on my car for about a year and I really like it.

Borla does the "Old School" sound the best!

I have a set of Power Flo's for sale if anyone wants them. They are all shined up and ready to go.

I don't know, I've heard a couple sound clips of the Borlas online and they really don't sound like an old school muscle car to me. They sound more like a suped up Toyota Supra on steroids or something (my opinion, don't take it personal). I'm looking for that low, deep hollow, old school 5.0 Mustang type sound (I know we have a 4.6L). I'm thinking the only way to get that sound is to go with a Flowmaster, Edelbrock, Hooker or MAC exhaust. Any input Mustang-onians?

It's extremely difficult to choose a muffler when I can't hear it and probably won't until I buy something and test it on my own car. If it's not what I want, my money goes down the tubes. Thanks in advance.

Check out the Cherry Bombs, they're pretty old sounding and loud. I forget the website they were on, but I'm at work, so use google.
