Really? To me it's the opposite when it comes to mustangs. I haven't heard anyone local use glass packs on their stang except me so I dont know about in real life but after watching some videos on youtube they actually sound good to me on v6's and sound like crap on v8's.

flowmasters and borlas on v6's sound like they are just trying to be noticed with no real umph to them but on v8's make a world of difference while glass packs give v6's a big feel while on v8's it's obnoxious loud.

I just measured my pipes and they are between 2.75 and 3 inches *edit* yup 3 inches went out and remeasured to make sure I get it exact cause I know somebody is gonna say no way they are 3 lol *edit*. I was suprised, I guess since they came with the ac sport package and were originally side exhaust they came with big pipes and when I took them to get rerun out the back (due to new body kit) they just used the same size pipe. Maybe that is why it never sounded stock to begin with? .

Seeing how my glass packs are about 6 years old I may switch for two new mufflers since there is no need to upgrade anything else on the exhaust. The exhaust setup goes like an x, two individual pipes at the header area then connects to one pipe then splits into two pipes near the rear seats.

Today is a good day

I know right lol, what does that setup sound like to you? I know it obviously isn't an H setup since it doesn't resemble an H or just run directly to that back. After the headers it has a catalytic on both pipes then blends to on pipe in the middle then back to two with the mufflers then out the back?

Is that a crossover or just normal?

-Exhaust= Still in process of figuring it all out, but am planning on doing Mac longtubes with an o/r h-pipe with SLP loudmouths
- Engine=BBK throttle body, some type of CAI, SCT tuner
- Interior= Bullitt pedals, possible racing seat, new floormats and other little odd end things

******If you would like to suggest any tweaks please feel free to do so!
Thomas, what you need to get before any of that, is a haircut. Who can drive a fast car with long, shaggy hair?
