Exhaust Volume
Heey guys! I have a 4.0 V6 engine in my stang. Right now im running the M80 from Pypes mid muffler design and the tone that the car gives its incredible! However I was looking for a little more volume, so I got the Pypes high flow cats....
Im not going to say it was a horrible mistake, but the exhaust tone changed way too much, granted the volume did too, was extremely loud, but just not the tone I wanted, so I changed them back to stock.
Right now I was thinking of ways to maintain something similar to the tone that I have right now, but increase the volume... so I thought the shorty headers might be my solution, however Ive never had any experience with these....
DO you guys think it will turn the volume up a little bit (I dont want it way too high either... just a little bit more, but something that I will notice) and keep the tone, or something similar?
Thanks for the input!

The pypes mid-muffler kit with the axle back deletes is about is loud as you are going to get without deleting the stock cats, which you've found out takes you into a whole different ball game of volume. Short tube headers aren't going to do much for volume or tone really.
The only thing I could really suggest for a bit more volume would be to try a different set of mid-mufflers. There are quite a few bullet style mufflers on the market. But honestly if you are mostly satisfied with the current setup I'd leave it be. If you go chasing a tad more you could end up too loud, raspy, or with drone.
