I cant stand that pissed off bumble bee sound from magnaflows or borla, then when you let off the gas it pops like there something wrong with the car. get FLOWMASTER
pissed off bumble bee???
interesting, never heard that from my car before....

if you want to sound alot like 50% of the Mustangs out there, get flowmaster..in my opinion there is nothing wrong with them, I happen to like how they sound as well, but only at idle.. their wot is a bit tame for me

but if you can afford to spend the money, then borla (stingers) are definately a great choice, they are the deepest of the straight through mufflers, have amazing tone all through the rpms, and are insane when paired with an o/r midpipe

i vote for borla, but im biased

you're kidding right? Flowmaster's aint the best quality out there but borla's are one of the better...anything you gotta weld in should tell you that it is a universal part. If it bolts on then that company took the time to do research on a particular vehicle IMO

I would rant here but I just remembere that I have full exhaust and you prolly havent heard my setup.
magniflow o/r X pipe...magniflow catback....bbk shorties (headers)

Put some single chamber flows on there, with turndowns behind it! Or for the "sound of performance" put on some two chambers. I cant stand that pissed off bumble bee sound from magnaflows or borla, then when you let off the gas it pops like there something wrong with the car. get FLOWMASTER

everyone has flows...and they drone....go magnaflow or borla. If you like raspy go slp.
Mine do not drone.....I have no rear cats, factory H pipe into Super 40 series Flows.........SOUNDS GREAT and NO DRONE AT ALL!!!!!
How do you have no drone at all? Even with my stock H pipe i had a small drone (barely noticable), and now with the o/r pipe the drone is HUGE...

I have flowmaster and love the way they sound. I have mac FL headers, mac O/R prochamber and weld in 40 series. yeah they have a drone at about 2 -2200 RPM, i kinda like it though.

My buddy has a Bassani X and borla's on his saleen, it sounds amazing.

So my vote goes to borla's if you are rollin waist deep in cash, but if like myself your not, flowmasters..

If money is no problem then I would definitly go borla or bassani, but a v8 is a v8 anything you get is gonna sound good at the end of the day.
