thats cut-outs mike02gt, dc you seen my vid. right? thats what dumps will probably sound like
on your car too since you have an h-pipe it might be a tad louder,but not louder than mine

tailpipes will give you that signature mustang tone, dumps just make it loud

you wouldnt have to worrie about horsepower loss if you use turndowns...if you turn it down right before or after the rear end.youll be fine..and it will make the ground rumble like a nascar

Technically, dumps are another name for cut-outs. The proper term you're looking for is 'turn downs'.

If you point the turn-downs right at the ground, all the sound is just going to bounce off it and it'll be nice and loud.

so it will make it a lot louder than tails? yeah i always called it turndowns but on here it goes by dumps so i went along with it... never heard dumps as cut outs tho.. thats a new one for me.
what about quality difference? would it be deeper with the tails? thx for all the answers guys
