How loud will this be?

[Tyson98GT]

How loud would my car be with Long Tube Headers, Off-Road X, and SLP Shoutgun Resonators?

 

[Dark Knight GT]

Loud.

 

[TxNiceGuy2002]

It will be louder than hell, prepare to set off a few alarms and cops at your side, lol.

 

[Tyson98GT]

Ok then Loud is good, but what kind of tone am I looking at the x-pipe will be custom and I wasnt sure what kind of headers, any suggestions?

Long tubes. You want Long tubes. They'll help give it a deep rumble type sound down low. Though they'll shout on the high end.

 

[Tyson98GT]

Awesome then long tubes it is! what brand?

 

[ACSPONY]

Why not just go with the full SLP system if you're getting LTs, X and CB?

 

[Tyson98GT]

That would be awesome to get SLP Long Tubes but they are 2 expensive unless someone could tell me were i could get them cheaper.

 

[ACSPONY]

True, SLP's stuff does cost a pretty penny. Maybe you could look at BBK. I'm not sure how their prices compare but I think everyone will tell you to stay away from MAC. They might look good when you put them on but check back in 6mos and I think they'll be rusted to hell

What ACSPONY has said is true. I have the Mac headers and yes, they will develop rust. You can reduce this by having them ceramic coated, but that will cost a pretty penny. However, Mac headers do tend to make more hp than the other companies but just a few hp. However, SLP probably is right in there with them in terms of power gains. I vote for the SLP. If you can dig deep, get them. They'll work well with your setup.

BBKs- 405 for chrome and 480 for ceramic coated. That'll save about $200 over buying SLP but I think the full SLP system would sound badass.
This video has me wanting the whole thing...
granted he has cams and some other goodies but still..

EDIT: he's got a BBK o/r X...o well, still sounds wicked

 

[Tyson98GT]

Note: I don't drive my car all year round, just in the summer time. So would the mac headers still rust? Also I will be wrapping them in exhaust wrap.

 

[Tyson98GT]

anyone?

 

[ACSPONY]

Wrapping them would help I'd think to prevent them from rusting. Not driving the car in the winter would surely help as well. I can only tell you what I've heard as I don't own the MAC headers, mine are genuine ford . Might want to ask Dark Knight how his are holding up.

 

[MGSTANG]

My opinion, I don't like the way SLP sounds.

My catted prochamber is over a year old now... no rust looks great. If you want Mac just make sure you get the coated product...

Personally I went with BBK headers, but they aren't on the car yet. But the SLP catback sounds mean with a prochamber.

 

[MGSTANG]

I love my prochamber, but it hits when I back into my garage. Oh well.

 

[Tyson98GT]

Ok I think it is between MAC Long Tubes and BBK, but I like MAC from what people say about the power gains, but I don't want them to rust. Will wrapping them and not driving car in the winter be enough?

 

[mustang70]

Actually, wrapping them will make them rust faster. The wrapping can trap moisture between it and the header. Spend the extra money on the ceramic coating.

 

[Tyson98GT]

Ok, so why do Mac's rust so quick or do they rust for some people, because now I am not sure what to think about this whole ordeal. A couple opinions would be nice about the Mac' and BBK's because keep in mind summer driving only.
