For awhile they will get better and better sounding as you burn up some of the insulation.

Yea I have magnaflows on my car now...

To tell you the truth.. Yes they will break in a little, but only a little.. You will notice a slight difference. But I hate to disappoint you, even from when you first put them on, thats about as loud as it is going to get. That's exactly why I am so unhappy with mine and Im going with a full exhaust setup. Because this time I want to do it "right" and just re-do the whole system with my new SLP Loudmouths.

My flows have been on my car for a good 6 months now, so I have definitely broken them in... They do sound good, no denying that, but they are soooo quiet. Too quiet for me. Sometimes at idle.. If I sit for a while, I have to rev the engine to make sure my car is still on, because sometimes I think I turned it off or something... Because seriously you CANT hear it at idle... I personally think its quieter than stock at idle.

But, they do sound good when you get on it... And some people like that. Quiet when they want, and louder when they get on it. Personally I dont want that... I want it loud all around, but Im just speaking from experience. But anyway, Good Luck!

yeah i wanted to go borla but they were like a few hundred more. I would've done SLP also, but I heard that a cobra because of a 4v that SLP's don't sound that great.

Yea I wouldnt put SLP on a cobra. I havent talked to anyone who has like the sound of SLP on a 4V engine... But Borla would probably sound real good. Magnaflows will do the trick for now, but if your like me... You will want to change them eventually, I don't think they are the "answer" for a lifetime mustang exhaust...because I just didn't think the they provided me with an all-around mustang sounding exhaust.

well i evenually want to get the rest of the set-up. You know h-pipe headers and intake should help the sound. Lots of other things i'm planing on going nuts.
