Can anyone get a sound file of this somewhere??? I'm going to see what it sounds like tomorrow cause I've seen it done before and it didn't sound that bad. I just can't remember exactly what it sounded like. Any other thoughts appreciated. Stock 5.0 w/ 144,500 miles.. Automatic.

straight from the FAQ at the top of the page......


MUFFLER SHOOTOUT:

Results based on 5.0 Mustang Magazine December 2002 issue (page 55). Test car is a ’90 Coupe with 370 HP and 11 second potential. A number of 66 pulls were made to compile this information. Where does your muffler stack up?

The results in HP order:

1.Flowtech Warlock (open) 374.2 hp/ 333.1 tq
2.Bassani Real Street 373.7 hp/ 333.8 tq
3.Hooker Maxflow 373.5 hp/ 333 tq
4.Borla XS 373.3 hp/ 332.6 tq
5.Magnaflow 372.8 / 332.5 tq
6.MAC 372.3 hp / 331.5 tq
7.Flowtech Afterburner 372.3 hp/ 330.1 tq
8.Hooker Aerochamber 372.1 hp/ 330.4 tq
9.Bassani 372 hp/ 333.5 tq
10.Spintech 371.6 hp/ 332.2 tq
11.Edelbrock Performer RPM 370.9 hp / 331.3 tq
12.Borla XR1 370 hp/ 334 tq
13.Flowtech Terminator 369.5 hp / 331.3 tq
14.Dynomax Ultra Flo 369.4 / 333.2 tq
15.Flowmaster 369.4 hp / 331.8 tq
16.Flowtech Warlock 366.3 hp / 325.3 tq
17.No muffs 365.2 hp / 330.1 tq


the fact that no muffs made the least HP would steer me clear of that route....

Well, I'm speaking clearly for sound because my car is ALL stock... When I get headers/h-pipe.. I'll put on some mufflers. Strictly for sound though is what I am aiming at since a 94 bone stock AOD Convertible GT w/ 144,500 miles is not going to win many races. :( .. but by this summer I'll have my upper/lower intake.. headers, pulleys, CAI, h-pipe put in... and I believe thats all the money I'll have between now and then.

but yeah I see what you are saying, but I'm going strictly for sound right now since the car isn't all that fast.
 
oh boy, get ready to make some people deaf. When i bought my stang it didnt have mufflers, only the stock h-pipe. I bought a off road h-pipe, so i was free flowin all the way to china. This thing sounded like a race car. I drove home and i honestly felt embarassed. I got home and immidiatly ordered flowmaster 2 chamber american thunder. I guess its either a love or hate thing. But my advice is to drop the of no mufflers and a offroad h/x pipe. oh well :shrug:

i think no mufflers sounds pretty badass, but im sure after a while it would get to you being so loud, or you can be a real badass an run straight headers lol. you will deffinatly turn some heads, mostly cops heads. ide go for a nice set of flowmaster 40 series, or even the american thunder cat back would be a good choice.
