Thoughts on this exhaust setup?
Well, ive been watchin vids of mustangs and various catbacks, and i think im gonna go with a magnapack. Ive seen the basic magnaflow catback and then the magnapack. Both goin for 500 on americanmuscle. Whats the difference?
As far as an H or X pipe, im lost tho. I dont think im goin with an offroad package, so ill just stick with a catted one, that isnt too restrictive. I hear that H's are deeper and X's are raspier, but X's are also cheaper and more "universal" as far as fitment. Odds are im not gonna be doin headers anytime soon, so it just has to match up to the stock manifolds and Magnapack catback.
I dont want it to be annoyingly loud while cruisin, but i want it to have a nice deep bellow at idle, as well as a deep tone when revving and such.So im basically lookin for suggestions on midpipe, and makin sure that the magnapacks will gimme the sound i want. I dont wanna be blowin 1000 on exhaust here, the magnapacks are 500 already, so im tryin to keep the midpipe around 300ish or less.

x and h pipes are the mid pipe that goes between the mufflers and the headers. most choose to upgrade the midpipe because it opens up the exhaust.
spartan i just ordered my packs today and i ordered a mac o/r h with mine. i also got lts too. like said i would choose a brand that makes headers too so that when you do decide to do headers everything is more likely to fit together nicely.

Yeah, it probably would be a good idea to go with a brand that makes headers too, just to be on the safe side. I guess ill look into a mac H, hopefully they make a catted one?
The packs are what i should be gettin then? I havent heard any objections sayin theyre not deep or whatever.
And devsredgt, when u have ur exhaust all hooked up, lemme know how it sounds, k? A vid or something would be helpful.

Magnapacks with H pipe sounds good! Forget those guys that say straight thru = X pipe.
