Default Need help find an Exhaust.

Hey guys,

I am looking to get a Magnaflow Magnapack Catback Exhaust. I do not want to do headers. What else do I need to do a headers back exhaust? I have no emissions in PA, so I DO NOT need cats. I want something pretty freaking loud.

Links would be great. I would like something with good performance, sound, and fairly cheap.

Thanks.

Need to search some newb. There are 14 million exhaust threads on here. Plus I have a link on the front page right now of a bunch of exhaust combos... take a look at it.

I have the magnapacks and they just arnt that great with a stock midpipe. O/R X pipe ( ANY BRAND) with packs is an excellent combo.

Will this combo work together?

Damn, that's expensive. Call the guys at www.completeexhaust.com and tell them you are a forum member. You can get that cat back for aobut $350. They also have SS O/R x pipes. Yeah, more expensive, but last forever. I got my set up delivered for $765, but I have a catted mid pipe. That's well over $200 off retail.

You'll also need a tuner or mil eliminators if you go O/R.

H pipe: deeper sound and a little better on the low end and the "H" stops working at about 3K rpms.

X pipe: a little raspy (O/R) but more efficient and always works, regardless of rpm.

WIth an off road mid pipe, the rear O2 sensors will kick the check engine light and the computer will make the car run like ****. MIL eliminators fool the computer to think that there are cats or the tuner can turn the rear O2 sensors off.

Ok, Is mid-pipe and Xpipe/Hpipe the same thing? This mustang lingo is killing me.

Midpipe for mustangs will either come as an X pipe or H pipe. When you see this, its the same thing. They are both pretty explainatory as to the shape they are in. Performance for both are gonna be very very similiar, its the sound that makes them different. You have the Headers, the midpipe, and the catback. Catback is what you see of course coming out of the exhaust tips. What kind of sound are you looking for? The soundclips thread I linked has quite a few combos of midpipes and catbacks. That will determine what you get because H pipes have a more deep sound and X pipes have a more exotic sound. It changes with each catback but you get the idea. If you want the cheaper type of catback... flowmasters are a good bang for your buck. But there are so many options out there. Good luck.
