Prochamber installed... disappointed!!!!
Installation at the shop went okay. Brenspeed sent me two drivers side Eliminators so I need to replace 1 and get the passenger side one. No CEL yet.
Exhaust sounds the same at idle compared to the stock midpipe. A bit more resonance but you can't hardly tell.
Driving around it sounds a bit raspier, and a bit louder. For an O/R midpipe it's very tame. I was expecting something alot louder. It's only really loud when you want it to be (stomping on the throttle).
At WOT it's a totally different story. VERY loud, and sounds pretty good.
However while cruising it makes a rattling sound, and the guys at the shop said it was the actual chamber itself resonating. Not a huge deal but it sort of annoys me.
Overall I'd rate the quality of the sound a 5/10. The stock H pipe was deeper, and not raspy like this. Also it has amplified the Magnapacks and it sounds like a wet fart. Not good at all, and I'd rate Flowmasters sound way better than this. Doesn't have the good tone or deepness of say a Flowmaster or MAC exhaust or anything.
Kind of disappointed. I think I expected too much. Needless to say I am going to get rid of the Magnapacks and get a MAC SS catback. I want that deep, throaty "tinny" sound like Flowmaster, but I know Flowmaster doesn't sell a stainless steel system.
I ordered the Magnapacks last year because I got a good deal, but honestly I should of waited and gone with a chambered muffler system. I'm sure some may like the sound of Magnaflow or the Magnapacks but like I said, it doesn't sound right, and is basically like a big wet fart.
I may have the Magnapacks up for sale if anyone is interested.
Oh yes I definately felt more power. The Prochamber made the car pull harder at mid to top end range, and it seems to rev more freely.
It was a good upgrade for performance, but it's not the sound I'm looking for.

Yeah that sucks. I have LM2's and am very cautious about what mid pipe I am going to get so as to not f*ck up the sweet sound I have now.
Your car is sweet. Ever consider dropping it?

"sounds like a wet fart"... LMAO!... Hahaha!
I also think the prochamber sounds best on chambered Mufflers. Definitely swap it out for a Flowmaster or Mac exhaust. You'll be satisfied after that.

Thanks for the compliment. Nah I won't drop my car, it's a daily driver and I don't want to get the bottom scraped up. Where I live you basically need a 4x4 to drive up steep roads, and curbs.
The Prochamber itself is good, but I just think the catback isn't that great for it. Some may LOVE the sound of my car, at least the guys at the exhaust shop liked it, but it wasn't my cup of tea. Not a fan of the wet fart sound. I think a chambered muffler like MAC or Flowmaster is perfect for our Mustangs.
Your LM2's are very much like my Magnapacks. I would listen to some cars in person before you put the money down to buy a midpipe. The Prochamber is great, but I just need to get MACs catback to better compliment it.

Oh by the way I've been getting high and enjoying the fumes coming from my O/R midpipe. It smells like heaven! *passes out*

But you know what you gotta do with your set up. IMO, it seems like the prochamber was made for chambered exhaust systems. They just sound so good together. But that's JMO. I know different people have different taste in exhaust sounds. And a lot of people are in love with the prochamber no matter what catback it's paired to.
... But when you pair the prochamber up with a chambered exhaust, it just has MUSTANG written all over it.
