Pretty much anything they offer in a universal muffler. What size pipe do you have? What sound do you want, they offer several different styles? Is the inlet to your current muffler center or offset? Is the outlet center or offset? You have options.

Yea, they have a ton of stuff but i have no idea what would fit with my car, like I'm guessing that i would have to compare it to my exhaust to get the right set ups or something but i have no idea. I just want to replace my old exhaust (that happens to have cats...) and stick on something with a great rumble. All my friends tell me to go with Borla so here i am but idk what to get :/

na, european sports cars. but cat??? in a 1970 mustang. who put that there?
anyway, as above. check what flowmasters/dynomax mufflers would go with that car (length, width, height, pipe size) and just order same size from Borla or smaller. shouldn't be any problem.

Go onto youtube and look up as many different types of mufflers from as many different types of brands. Flowmaster, Borla, Magnaflow... the whole nine yards. Flowmaster is the brand I recommend, but it's up to you.

After you find the muffler series you like the best, go onto that companies website and check out full exhaust kits. They should have you specify what kind of car you have, and they should have a system that will fit.

oh sweet, thank you all so much. But i'm pretty sure i don't have stock headers on though. I'm pretty sure these are long pipes, but i have no idea what brand or what size they are, i never got any papers with the car about it

I think of European or Corvette when I think of Borla. That said, I have seen it on newer Mustangs etc. I think its a good muffler. I like Dynomax and Magnaflow. I suggest almost anything but Flowmaster.
