i am the proud owner of a new 2003 GT, and i want to put a new exhuast system on. first i want to know which is better the bassani x-pipe or the magnaflow x-pipe. i have a friend with an 03 SVT cobra with spintech mufflers which sound realy nice but i havent heard anything about their performance. most people say flowmaster but im just curious what the best set up for mystang would be

People spend a lot of time in the area of exhaust. The bottom line is this--H-pipe will yield more low end torque. X-pipe yields more high end power. So the starting point with exhaust is where do you need the power. Secondly, mufflers are for the most part going to be a matter of sound preference,give or take a few horsepower between different brands. Contrary to popular belief, there is no superior exhaust system when comparing X and H pipes. Overall, the size of the exhaust(2-1/4,2-1/2,or3in)will be a more important factor along with stock manifold,shorty,or full length header selection in relationship to how much modification you do to your engine.

im pretty sure it's the other way around, x-pipe having more torque.

Magnaflow!!!!!!! I guess I'll start digging up reviews about Flowmaster, they aren't very pretty at all.


If you want to hear clips of my 02 GT with Magnaflow PM me

ya ive heard alot of good things about bassani and that was my original choice, but my friend whos got a 03 cobra said that bassani doesnt make a true x-pipe and that magnaflow makes a better system. ive heard both good and bad about bassani and magnaflow, so i was curious if anyone knew if either isnt a true x-pipe or what. also i have heard that bassani doesnt sound good.<edited><editID>Shaggy</editID><editDate>37865.5425462963</editDate></edited>
