Default Getting a exhaust

I just recently bought a 04 mach 1 and I was surprised howvery littlemiles it had because it only has 2000 miles. I love the car and now im looking to buy an exhaust kit. I need help to choose one, can u guys give meyour opinion. Im looking for an exhaust kit that sounds like a true classic muscle car, sounds loud and awsome, and gives a little extra horsepower, especially horsepower!Which exhaust kit wouldu prefer magnaflow, flowmaster, Bassani, or if any other exhaust kitu know. I would also like to know why would u chose that type and how it gives extra horsepower. please type in your opinions. Thx!

long tube headers w/ straight pipes is the sound of american muscle it sounds sick on my 67.
Bassani H pipe and flowmaster 44's sounds amazing on a guys mach1 around here.

Muscle = Flowmaster, MAC, MRT...

Every exhaust kit will give you about the same amount of horsepower, but it is still very minimal. It's when you change the midpipe and headers that really give you the extra kick in horsepower.

Well, I had:

MAC catback
MAC catback and a Magnaflow catted x-pipe

Now I have:
Magnaflow Magnapacks and a Magnaflow x-pipe

I WILL have:
MAC longtube headers, VRS o/r x-pipe, and Magnapacks.


MAC is a muscle sound. Magnapacks have a more refined loudness but it still sounds nice.
Here are some clips I made in the past:
MAC catback
MAC catback w/ Magnaflow x-pipe
Magnapack catback w/ Magnaflow x-pipe

This is what a MAC catback sounds like at it's full demonicness

MAC is muscular.

And there really isnt much to get more horsepower out of exhaust except to add longtube headers and get a dynotune.
