What a Sound!!!
So I'm cruising last weekend here in Dallas with my top down enjoying the saturday nite air. I roll up on a black mustang who obviously slowed down and waited for me to catch up. Me not thinking, I chuck up the piece sign as in nice ride man, he revs a few times.... O I get it you wanna roll, cool I aint scared! knowing I aint got nothing under the hood but a C&L CAI, running 93 octane Bama tune along with SLP loudmouths giving me a nice little rumble but no real power, but so what i'm game. We both stomp the gas, WAAAAAHHHHHHHHAAAHHHHHHHH!!!! I AINT NEVER HEARD NOTHING LIKE THE 10,000 LIONS ROARING COMING FROM THIS DUDES CAR! He jumps out in front, but i'm right on his butt. Obviously he's not supercharged or I woulda been watching his tail lights disappear in the distance. every time we passed an underpass his sound was amplified, I thought the friggin bridge was coming down. I was smiling as I took the exit ramp and let him roar on, what makes a mustang sound like that, Headers, Cams, headers and cams? I gotta have that sound, and if I could add a few horses thats icing. what do I need? I have stock headers and midpipe.

cams work a whole lot better with LT's,
so LT's with cams is a great idea!
but to get a nice roar on WOT you dont really need cams, but if you got the money go for the cams too.
plus if you intend on keeping the LM's, o/r midpipe is gonna sound like a truck.
catted midpipe will sound better with the LM's.

snag some high performance cats. they perform better and would still pass emissions I believe. cams would sound pretty mean, no doubt. I run the stock ones and my car is pretty loud. I try to coast thru my neighborhood at night and early mornings. Going to the track on Thursday. I'll see if I get lucky and run solo, I'll get you a video of the sound.
onederful - ok I will ask and look stupid, im ok with it.. what does LM stand for.

not such a stupid question. lol.
LM = SLP LoudMouth axle backs.
i have MBRP muffler deletes, LT's, and o/r x pipe. and it did sound like a garbage truck.
I added some M80's before the rear end and it toned it down just enough so its still loud, but not truck sounding.
xkape: do you have a vid of your exhaust? wondering how the prochamber sounds with the roush offroad.

I've got frpp cams, o/r h, stingers and my friends love following me places. They say she absolutely roars. Going under bridges is awesome.. going to NC in a few days... that bay tunnel/bridge.. people are gonna be like wth!!! I can't wait to grab some headers and switch over to an x pipe. I think I'm pretty loud but again the stingers are a deep tone.. heard a straight piped shelby and I actually jumped.. sounded like a gun shot to the ear.

FRPP Hot Rod Cams sound great and have killer drive-ability behaviors compared to other cams. We've tuned tons of these and have had nothing, but awesome results and satisfied customers.
I found this random video on YouTube with a 3v GT equipped with FRPP Hot Rod cams, Long-Tubes and Catted Xpipe (I know you wanted to keep the cats), and a cat-back. You can definitely search for better videos on Youtube to give you a better idea with Long Tubes as well.
Let me know if there's any questions I can answer, I'm happy to help!
