Default Can't decide with mufflers

Alrighty, so, I've been around all sorts of mustang forums, I've heard countless exhaust clips with the setup that I'm going for and I can't decide on the muffler that would more than likely be great for my setup. I'm wanting something witha deep rumble at low RPMbut not be crazy raspy/ricerish like I'veheard some flowmasters do. Money isn't that much of a concern but it's still inthe back of my head.It seems everyone is nuts about Flowmaster so Im just going to put up my setup and maybe some of you guys can figure it out.

I'm wanting to go divorced duals, no crossover, 2.5 inch piping, 2 "xxx" mufflers and 3 inch tip

If someone could help me out, it'd be greatly appriciated. Awesome. Thanks. Later.

Most popular are definately the flowmasters. I went with the forces which are like flowmasters but half the price. I'm happy with my decision :]

Yes, I'm going FI. I just need to figure out the best muffler that I'm looking for. One that isn't raspy at high rpm's and has a low, mean rumble like flowmasters do. if it just happen's to be flowmasters is the main choice for everyone, what kind? all of the flowmasters ive heard sounds like rice at high rpms.

I'm waiting to put my forces on. HopefullyI won't be let down.. $35 a muffler sounds almost to good to be true, but who knows.Just as long as it's loud enough, deep enough, and sounds good at high RPMs... all of this is hard to accomplish with the v6 tho.

You're right. I've never heard too many forces or pypes. They sound like a cheap muffler. I have more good than bad out of the opinions on them. When you get them on, put up a sound link.

First, FI is force induction as in turbo and superchargers. Second, I'm not cheaping out on the exhaust, I was saying what I thought about Pypes and Forces, which I could be wrong and is strickly opinion. And 150 for true duals doesn't sound right at all but hey, what do I know, I wasn't at the shop. What kind of flowmasters?

FI=Forced Induction. supercharger/turbo

your lucky you only paid $150. most places cost alot more. hell 2 Flowmasters costs that much themselves.

Force proseries mufflers are the same damn thing and cost 1/2 the price as Flowmasters. Thrush 2 Chambers are the same too and cost even less.


Force proseries mufflers all the way
