Might sell the '86 for an '04 Cobra

[Gearbanger 101]

ok, you caught me. But this one is stock. just straight piped.

Sounds like an old pick-up truck.

 

[foxbodymike87]

what ever that pick up is. I want it

 

[foxbodymike87]

and it sounds like ass...

then show me what you think sounds good for a stock engine.

A lot of cars do, just as long as they don't have straight pipes

 

[foxbodymike87]

i agree alot of cars sound like ass with straight pipes. but that camaro sounds good. Its just so raspy and agressive.

 

[Gearbanger 101]

Every stock mustang built since 1985 has sounded great IMO. I little quiet for some, but you can't beat that exhaust note. Even the new V6 sounds pretty sexy.

Ok ok, enough with posting Camaro exhaust vids in my thread. The new 5.0's just put out a very raspy sound to begin with. Old 5.0's could get away with taking off the mufflers and running nothing but cats, and still sound throaty and mean. These new engines just dont produce that sound. Flowmasters actually sound like complete ass on the new 5.0 if you ask me, and they are the classic sound pushrod 5.0's have been known by... To those comparing those camaros, its really no comparison between pushrod sound, and over head cam sound honestly.

Agreed. That sounds like redneck s hit.

 

[foxbodymike87]

i like my exhausts loud enough i cant hear my self talk. if it were my choice i'd run open headers everywhere. And the only exhaust thats sounds bad on new 5.0's is borla. Herd one at the drag strip and good god that literally sounded like it was farting.

I looked at some videos on youtube of the american thunder flowmaster kit, some had x pipes installed....I think those sounded close to the pushrod flowmaster sound, although you are right it does get raspy up high in the revs. That's the one I'd go with if it were me, but you will no doubt get the drone.

The hushpower flowmaster kit actually sounded pretty good too. Not sure if they would drone as bad as the american thunder kit.

If you want loud, Flowmaster original 40's and dumps with off road h or x pipe is wicked loud. I can set off car alarms with mine. It's a good kind of loud though, not raspy straight pipe crap.

I agree with you on the borla though.

LOL, seems like many people are getting tired of that sound. I can't get enough of it. It's just a classic mustang sound.

Heard a 5.0 Stang with some side exhaust from Spin tech...It turned everyones head when he started it. Allas, I am partial to some good ol flow masters. Love that sound when I'm on my way to work every morn drinkin my cup o coffee

 

[foxbodymike87]

looove spintechs. they are really underrated. and i'm not a fan of flowmasters cuz they all sound the same and everyone has them.

 

[bentley429isBAC]

Had the spintechs, didnt like them much.

 

[LarsD]

yuck
sounds like an old chevy truck to me

Hands down the best sounding car I've ever heard was my 99 Cobra with long tubes, o/r X, and a Bassani (I think it was a Bassani) cat back. However, I have to disagree. While I've definitely heard better, where I live there are tons of Chevy trucks, and 90% of them are straight piped. Compared to the video I posted (IMO) that GT sounds 100X's better. Everybody has their taste, and camera's have a hard time picking up sound, so it can be hard to pick an exhaust by listening to videos on the internet.

Did you get yours on yet???

 

[95BlueStallion]

Lars, I ended up going with the Roush axle back. It was damn near half the cost of the Borla system I liked, and I actually like the sound more. Here is a youtube clip.

Did you get yours on yet???

No not yet. I have several other jobs lined up that I have to take care of before I can get to it unfortunately. When I get to it I will be busy since I have a whole pile of parts sitting here for the car. That's not yours is it? This was the video that sold me on the Pype Bombs since this is the sound I want at idle:
