i have heard that Cams can change the way your mustang sounds, if so could someone tell me what kind or model or whatever i need, and does it change the sound to make it louder if so i want one, thanks

a cam would also change your car's RPM power band, it would affect your idle and stress your valvetrain parts a little more...unless you upgrade those parts too....

If you are mildly modded go with an e-303 or a b-303 cam, they will make it sound good. If you are mid to heavily modded go with an f-303 or x-303. Also keep in mind the valve clearance with some of the harsher cams you may need to have grooves machined in your pistons to clear the valves. Take a look at tech articles in mustang traders and MM&FF

If you are only trying to make your car louder than there are easier, better ways to change the sound of your motor. The change in your exhaust note is only a side effect of the cam change. Changing the cam along with other mods needed for the change, intake, headers etc. can be a great way to improve performance, and yes change your exhaust note, if thats what your looking to do.
