Im going to get an exhaust system soon too, so ive done alot of research to find a cheap yet good exhaust system. what i've found is flowmaster is good with sound and performance but some people in this forum say that flowmaster sucks for performance. I say what would you rather have stock or flowmaster? also why pay hundreds of dollars more for like 3 extra horses with a different company. you dont have to get headers or an h-pipe to make a good sound although it would help because they make the air flow better. the only thing you need to get that good sound is a cat-back system. that is where im going to start. Im going to get the flowmaster american thunder series 2.25" and they whole cat-back system is only about $210 from mustangs unlimited. after that i will move to the h-pipe and then the headers.

The "mustang sound" usually consists of American Thunder Flowmasters and an off-road H-pipe. Mac also has a Cat-back that is quite popular for a… similar sound and some additional performance I believe (woohoo 2 hp). So if you want to be loud and like everybody else with a Mustang get one of those.

if your going to buy an exhaust go for the 2.5..you can use stock header but they are so restrictive and can be bought used for under 100.00

Straight pipes are crap, you would see better performance and sound from a cross over pipe.

flowmaster cat-back will give u the mustang sound but not real loud. h or x pipe will give u a louder sound and better performance. x pipes and h pipes r good for 10-20hp
