I'm in the market for an upgraded muffler, and I can't quite choose.

I have an o/r x pipe set up right now, and I'm thinking Violators or MACs. I've heard that MACs sound like crap with an x though. I like a good rumble/growl, but want as little drone as possible while cruising.

Any suggestions?

yea I heard chambered mufflers don't sound as good with an X pipe. Might want to check out pypes, slp or borlas.

Depends on what you like. If you like a deeper, older style mustang sound, you will need to go with a mid muffler or resonator. Then you would run a straight pipe like the SLP's. Then you would get a more traditional sound, like the 04 and older.

Our cars have the muffler at the tailpipe, which creates a more raspy sound right off the bat. If you like a raspy sound I like my Bassani X with the cats out, and Corsa mufflers. However when I added the Turbo's it quieted the car down... until you hit the loud pedal Smile

With your OR X I would kinda stay away from the SLP's, it will be rediculously raspy and loud. Corsa, Bassani or Borla would be my choice if you are going to run your O/R x.

Im getting BOOM TUBES for my car. I heard them on Silverstangs car and fell for them, I've also heard the SLP's on Big Mikes car and not to hip on those. The B-T's dont have the drone at hwy speeds either. And not real expensive! goto ninosport.com and hear them on a 05+ GT.

Powerflows look like they are the same design as the Corsa's. I would say they are going to be ok. The Loud Mouths would not. I have heard a few of them and seriously it was rediculous. I would not want to drive with those more than 15-20 min with an O/R X. I cant tell if the Powerflows are a straight through design. If they are then they would be an exact replica of the Corsa design.
