like i said before though everyone has their own taste. do some research on youtube and see what setups you like best. and youll have to weigh performance if thats a factor for you.

here's a bit of an example of how different things can sound based on a o/r prochamber, o/r x, or an H

o/r prochamber with LMs - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAcKg...eature=related

o/r bassani x with LMs - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPV0U...eature=related

stock H with LMs - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILnhV...eature=related

then of course the mufflers play a big role. this is just an example so you can see the different types of sound the pipes make with the same mufflers

I was running an o/r h pipe and borla stingers and it sounded SICK. I needed some more power though so I swapped out the stock headers for american racing longtubes with their o/r h pipe. to be honest the stock headers with the o/r h pipe sounded better than the longtubes do. but the longtubes still sound great and you gotta love the extra power [sm=happy046.gif]

Oh man, sorry but that o/r bassani x with LM sounded like CRAP. Like a dump truck on it's last leg. Or some redneck's truck.

I think boomtubes or Corsa would have sounded a million times better with that bassani x. The LM made the sound too wild and uncontrolled. Not very muscle car like at all.

I think all 3 of those sounded like crap. You can't go wrong with the exotic sound that you can get from these mustangs. I like the way mine sounds, I'll get a sound clip on here soon for you.

go to youtube and search differant exhausts. there is sound clip for pretty much every setup. I am a HUGE fan of the pypes mid muffler system, its the best sounding exhaust i've heard and for the price can not be beat

although there's tons of people that use them on the road....and some do get busted for it
It also depends on where you live.. In florida we don't have emissions so nobody cares about

I just put in the Pypes mid muffler system along with the pypes O/R H pipe...compared to stock its loud as crap on WOT ( wide open throttle) but when your at cruising speed on the highway its pretty quiet.... But when you get on it, i promise you everyone will here you coming. When i pulled out of the shop onto an empty road i punched it and when i got back there was a crowd in the parking lot to see the car....

one thing i recommend if u do try this set up...make sure u have other mods 1st like CAI/ tune atleast bc its going to draw alot of attention to you from other cars that will want to race
