Default Suggest a header/midpipe/muffler combo?

This will be on a 2006 GT.

I'm looking for something that's relatively loud and aggressive, and that is legal under texas law. I'd also like to have LT headers.
If you have a video soundclip of your combo it'd be much appreciated.

I don't have a sound clip yet. But my combo is aggressive, deep, loud (but not stupid loud like pure straight exhaust which sounds like crap anyway) and makes good power.

Kooks LT + Kooks catted-H + MAC Boomtubes.

Pure secks.

Go on you tube, you can hear Mustangs with all types of exhaust.

I had Kooks long tube,X pipe,with Borla's real loud and aggressive. Took Borla's off and put stock mufflers on with same set up, sounds perfect.

i have the JBA L/T's, O/R H-pipe, and JBA exhuast. No sound clip but what part of texas are you in? i may be able to let you hear it in person. I really like the JBA set-up, just wish they would have done a better job locating the front O2 sensors.

Bassani Long Tube, Bassani O/R X Pipe, Bassani Axle-Back with 4in tips

...all 100% stainless, or don't bother.


No trumpeting, no drone, louder than just about anything else when you hit it, huge increase in hp (after tuning).


I'm biased though

Best sounding to me is Kooks LT, Kooks O/R X, with Pypes or Magnaflow Mid-Mufflers.

Amazing sound!!!! I'll post a youtube to it when I find it...

Technically there aren't any L/T headers that will pass emission testing. The cat's must be in the stock location and all L/T's move them. You can probably get them too pass but not if you get someone that goes by the letter of the Law. That being said Kooks L/T's with H instead of x pipe and Zoomer mufflers sounds great.

What part of texas are you in? I went to waco and got my inspection done, no issues.
