Default What makes a mustang sound best?

Besides the full exhaust what improves sound on a mustang?

I know a cam can change the idle, but does that or a set of heads make a big sound difference?

What else can make a deeper more noticeable sound difference?

Thanks

A nice S/C or Turbo makes a great sound. Of course, thats a pricey bit of noise...

Better heads will make the car sound different in two ways.

1. The exhaust ports are MUCH bigger than stock which allows more exhaust to flow thru it.
2. Stock heads have 64cc compbustion chambers. Most aftermarket heads are anywhere from 61 to 58cc's which will raise the compression ration quit a bit. This will give you that pounding and pinging in the header tubes which sounds DAMN COOL!
