Default Straight through exhaust

Does anyone have a video of straight through exhaust on a 5.0? I can't find a video of no cats and no mufflers on a 5.0. Not too big of piping either, 2.25" or 2.5" is probably the biggest I'd go since that's what I have now.

Thanks.

Straight pipes do not sound good on a mustang. Makes it sound like a truck. My buddy bought his like that and could not stand the sound. Your sig says you already have exhaust, why the change.

Well, one friend has an eclipse and it idles and revs louder than my car, then my other friend with a Civic is louder at higher rpms than my car. Not to mention every V8mustang in town is louder than my car.Just kinda want to hear my car for a change.

PS. how much are you looking to get for your f-cam?

I'm surprised you can hear that noise from so far behind you...

Who cares what a civic sounds like, it's loud but probably sounds like pure trash.. I bet you car sounds better.. And if you wan't loud take you mufflers off and just run the x pipe.. It's rediculously loud...

My car does the same thing, I was about to ask if they were 40s. A friend of mine with a 98 GT swears up and down that his mufflers are flows, but I can easily tell they aren't. Check the stamp on the mufflers.

Yep, they're "flowmaster"
on top of being fakes, they are only 2.25"
I'm really thinking about getting 3 bolt flanges on each side of my mufflers and having my stainless steel tips back on, then having a pair of straight pipe w/flanges so I can change out for track and change back for around town/trips.

I've ran my car with just the midpipe connected and it sounds like an absolute animal, not really like a truck. Does adding tailpipes make it sound more truck like?
