Aftermarket Muffler
I recently purchased a Flowmaster American Thunder for my stang and am hoping it will give my car a deeper sound when I install it. I bought it based on videos I had watched and love the idle and revving but one thing scares me.
I dont want my exhaust to pop all the time, is it for sure going to pop like most of the videos I watch or should it sound smoother on deceleration?
Thanks!
P.S. - I also noticed the GT takeoff didnt pop as much as the Flowmaster, I might have to return this and get a GT takeoff if it doesnt pop as much.

I have a GT M/T take-off and it no pops. NONE. Growls like a deep throat.
Except when the fuel management is in open loop mode when its cold
but stops doing it when the closed loop mode is engaged.
By sure its a GTT M/T take-off as the GT AUTO take-offs are a waste of
time and sound like the OEM V6 muffler.

I had the Flowmaster American Thunder on my car. After you have it on for awhile, and once the car warms up, no popping from mine.
I did find though that when I put the 3.73 gears in the AT got too loud inside for me. It had great sound though and I really liked it from outside the car at idle and WOT
