Default Yet another exhaust question

My question is what will make my 05 S197 GT sound more like the older fox bodies? I've been through youtube and the "official S197 exhaust thread" and the parity between the sound clips is too great to make a decision. I was thinking o/r h and pypes m/m. Whatcha think????

Longtubes + o/r prochamber + Pypes MMS is probably as close as you can get.

Ive heard that the o/r h and o/r x dont go well with the pypes MM. Same people said that the Pypes MM themselves are godly.

Yeah I don't expect to fully replicate the sound - just want it to sound more like a mustang. Long tubes are in the budget, but behind the CAI, tune, ZEX kit, LCAs, driveshaft, and DRs. o/r prochamber or o/r h pipe? Those camera clips don't do an exhaust justice. On the internet the o/r h and mac a/b sounded pretty nasty. Anybody have any of these setups?????? I'm just looking for that classic sound.

That's EXACTLY what i'm lookin 4. Nice car onederful. I heard the BBK LTs would not hurt the bank either. BBK LTs, BBK o/r X, and Boomtubes. You might have me sold there. I might just have to wait on the ZEX. Any more opinions???????

actually the videos are not of my car, they are w/ the full Mac setup. this is a vid of my car. you can click my youtube screen name i got 16 videos in there if you want. in the 2nd video the turbo blow off sound is the foxbody behind me, but the exhaust revving is all me. my whole setup cost me about $1000, LT's, x pipe and boomtubes.

Onederful-

Your car sounds awesome. I'm still caught between your exhaust and the exhaust on the previous video. Your exhaust just seems to sound perfect at higher rpms (prolly x pipe)while the other soundsgood at lower rpms(prolly prochamber). I think your setup sounds better overall, plus $1000 dollars is a heck of a deal including the LTs. Your car sounds sick. I think I might become a member of the boomtube crew, but I loved Bassani on my old car - maybe the race a/b?

I think this sounds good to me, and has that old sound to it.
