    Default 5.0 exhaust

    i have a 95 5.0 and im ready put in exhaust. im know im going to do equal length headers and an off road h-pipe but havent decided on mufflers. im not sure what kind i want. i want something thats going to sound loud and mean. magnaflow and flowmasters seem to be the front runners. any suggestions??

    Try the MAC system. Sounds great. A little deeper and louder than 2 chamber flowmasters. Nice and mean.

    The 5.0's sound great with the two-chamber flowmasters, but the 4.6's rock with the magnflows.

    I agree with redtwilight. I have 2 chamber flows on mine. My sister-in-law had the Mac on her 95. Like he said,it's a little louder and deeper sounding. I liked it alot.

    I've heard 2 chamber flowmasters create a drone...

    I personally have 3 chamber flowmaster cat-back and I have ALLOT of compliments on the sound of my stang.

    ...I'll try to remember to get a audio clip of the exhaust when I get teh car back from teh tranny shop

    --i forgot to mention that the 3 chamber mufflers is still loud
    if it wasn't loud I wouldn't like em
    so 3 chamber = loud and no drone -a very good sound

    It really depends on how loud you want to be.Like Nicole said,the 2 chambers to have a drone,but they are loud and mean.Are you running cats ? My bro has the 3 chambers without cats,and his wife had the Mac with cats.Hers was by far louder,even with the cats still on. I havent heard the Spintech's that Nitmare suggested. If your looking for a different sound than everybody else, Terminators sound different.You really cant go wrong with any of them.

    I am running bbk headers, w/ bassani o/r x-pipe and Spintech Pro Shoot outs NOT pro street-straight open muffler no dumps, and at idle or at a low rpm cruising speed they're a dream no drone no nothing. But as soon as you mash it, it gets loud real fast. It's a pretty aggressive sound...here's a sound clip of a 92' LX with spintech's side exhaust but you can get the picture...http://www.spintechmufflers.com/spin.../1spintech.wmv

    I am running the two-chambers on my 5.0 and the sound is awesome. I'm not so sure it's a drone, but a nice rumble. At 35 to 40 in third (automatic) the car sounds incredible. At idle and get on the pedal the sound is sweet. I have had compliments on the sound of the mustang.

    I am also amazed at the offers to purchase my car. Like I have said before the car is pretty much stock, with average paint - but the number of offers is weird.
