Default Old time sound

I have a 2002 Mustang GT. I want to upgrade my exhaust (Catback, Midpipe, and maybe in the future headers) What setup will give me that deep rumble but at the same time loud. I want this thing to sound like an old muscle car and make everyone drool over it. I work at a carwash and this guy came in with a 2000 GT. While it was sitting at idle out front waiting for its windows to be clean everying one was in envy. You could hear a loud rumble from 100 feet away. While i was doing the windows to it random people were comin to check it out. I talked to the guy and he said he had a mac ctback. bbk x bbk shorty headers and some other stuff like underdrive pulleys. But there was a lot more. However, from what i have heard a set up with mac shouldn't sound as good as it did. But anyway srry for this long topic just if you have any suggestions about setups please help.

An aftermarket H pipe with flowmaster super 40`s will sound great. Super 40`s have a real nice deep rumble to them. Make sure you know for sure if your gonna get shorty headers or LT`s before you get your midpipe. A mid pipe bolted up to your stock manifold wont work on LT`s. The LT`s will help alot also to make the deep rumble your looking for. Shorty`s wont sound bad either but LT`s will be deeper and give you a little more HP than the shortys.

I was just wondering why you used the extensions. I thought they were just when you had longtubes?

Hey sprostang you got a clip of you set up. I like the whole idea of o/r h but i am not sure if i want to risk it with cops. They are getting rid of emmissions checking in my area, but i am not sure if that means that cops won't care. SO just in case i migth go catted and i noticed that thats what you have. SO if you have a clip of your car or know of someone elses that would be great. Thanks

The rear extensions are pretty close to the front sensors on the stock pipe. When I got my new midpipe, the rear o2 sensors went far back from where they were. They are about in the middle of the new midpipe. The wire on the o2 sensor itself wouldnt come close to the plug. Therefore, thats where the extensions came in place.
