not sure about to mustangs but they have been around for a little while. if i was the OP go with flowmaster, borla or frpp( pretty much borla, but cheaper!). pypes are also very good sounding.

I looked at 'em when I was buying headers, but they never responded to a polite email asking what the advantages were to their headers that made them worth a fair bitmore than their competitors, so I went with JBA's

GIBSON has been making exhaust parts/systems for years. They make a excellent product as far as regular automotive applications. I have never used them in a performance application but as far as a jobber exhaust they are very reputable.

Flowmasters are great but stay away from The A/T(American Thunder) series. This is a cheap price muffler that doesnt have the longevity of the other Flowmaster Series. I dont know if they outsource this series muffler or what the reason is for such a cheaper price, in aftermarket parts you usually get what you pay for.

yeah, my 40 series really "beefed" up my 4banger ranger....lol.......kudos to flowmaster. So AT's are inferior huh? what a shame if this is true. aren't they the same price as the other after market muffs.........Love my JBA's .
