Who knew flowmaster catbacks could be modular...
OK, got my christmas list in order and to go with the stuff im getting for my car from other people, I ordered myself some offset/offset single chamber flowmasters. And when they came in, my mechanic said that we are gonna make it so if I ever want a change in sound, that all I have to do is unbolt the part of the original flowmaster catback that has the muffler on it and put in this piece we are making with the single chambers in. He said that in a way, its gonna be modular. So i can change sounds without the hastle of cutting and welding mufflers in and stuff. So my car is gonna be louder here shortly!!! Im excited!!! And what i ended up asking for for Christmas is Strange 10 ways(front and back), Sportline springs, and FLSFC. Im gonna buy the UCA/LCA's(HPM Megabyte double adjustable uppers and Megabyte Jr. lowers)when i can afford them and get spherical bushings as well. And for the few times i go to the track each year, im just gonna swap in the stock cut rear springs if that would work. Sorry to rant guys, but I'm just SOO EXCITED!!!

Just a bit of advice. If you plan on going with a mid pipe (X or H) make sure you go with the H.
X pipe paired with a chambered muffler (Flows) dosent't sound real good (raspy). Most def go with a H-pipe, if you can get away with it, get the o/r one!

LOL most ppl that say that are the ppl that read " h goes with chambered and x goes with straight through"
Dont get all pissy about it. you will find that most ppl with chambered mufflers have x pipes on this board. The part I find humorous about the argument is:
If x pipes are supposed to make your car raspier, why do people say to pair them with straight through mufflers? Straight through mufflers produce the most rasp, and most ppl are trying to avoid that on a mustang. Kind of debunks the whole theory. I have an o/r h on my lm2 catback with lts and it sounds bad ***. I thought it sounded pretty lame with an O/R x and lts.
