RE: Need Louder Exhaust
Yeah, Flowmasters flow bad enough as it is, I can't imagine how horrible the Flowmaster 3 chambers are.
IMO, on a blown Cobra - I would go straight thru exhaust only, the HP gains will be substantially higher & worth the money than a baffled muffler.
I vote Magnaflow.

RE: Need Louder Exhaust
If you dont wanna be to loud, but you wanna make that car exhale better, I would install and off-road h-pipe and a magnaflow cat-back. If you dont like Magnaflow then look into Flowmasters 3 chamberd deltaflow designs. With Flowmaster, remember, the MORE chambers the quieter it will be. The deltaflow part of the muffler quiets the interior sound and helps to eliminate that 2k rpm drone. SLP and Borla's XR-1 line of mufflers are going to be very loud.
If you are just looking for a sound with a bit more attitude without it being obnoxios AND some kick a$$ looking tips, just go with Magnaflow. They make a really nice mandrel bent stainless steel catback for your car.
The midpipe is fairly restrictive too but if you don't want to void your emissions warranty, leave it alone for now.
Volume is costly! Either it's straight through mufflers and you go deaf or it's chambered mufflers and they drone.

RE: Need Louder Exhaust
Thanks everyone for your posts. I just heard a sound bite from www.mustangexhaust.com of an 01 Cobra with factory mufflers and headers with a Bassani X-pipe without cats and it sounded awsome. Has anyone done this?

Nanaki,
Thanks for the link but, I think that's a little too much.
I just ordered the Bassani BX cat back system, I should have it tomorrow. I will let you all know how I like it after it's installed.
Thanks everyone for your time and help.
Sincerely,
Jeff

04ShakinSteed,
Thanks for your reply. I really didn't think I needed the stainless steel version besause this is more of a pleasure car for me. It will not be driven in the rain or snow. I installed it last night and it sounds great! Nice deep tone, really nice.
