I have BBK unequal length shorties,Pype's off road X-Pipe (2 1/2 inch),ler shop built mid pipes,40 series Flowmasters,and mandrel bent 2 1/2 inch Mustang tail pipes out to dual opening,double walled,rolled edged,angle cut,chromed stainless steel tips in the bumper (I just wanted to see how long I could stretch the tips details with minimal effort...LOL)..

i've got stock mustang headers and stock y-pipe with cats gutted and no ler...

yep, i'm cheap...

i need to pick up a 2 1/2" ball  so i can rig up the BBK sn95 h-pipe i bought a while back...

i'm undecided on what ler i want to run, i'm actually considering just dumping it after the h-pipe, but am not sure...

Use lers.Most of the time,the car sounds worse without them,and dumps,for most (not all) people get old after a while.The drone gets obnoxious. Do it right the first time,or gather pieces as you can afford them until you can do it right.

I always though the Thrush turbo lers sounded good.

Flowmasters that cost $40.00.....I don't have an issue with that.I'll probably be going back to the Warlock lers.I liked the sound (deep,but quieter than most),and they have built in cut-outs.Until then,the $40.00 Flows will be just fine.

Ive had flowmasters on my Stangs, kinda tired of them.

On my Cougar Im leaning towards Dynomax or Magnaflow

I got them quite some time ago on Ebay.One of those late night deals.They are good enough until the Warlocks are available at a price I'm willing to spend (next to nothing).LOL.I have enough other projects going on right now.

lol...yeah $40 is cheap Vinnie.  BUT, I just personally don't like how Flowmasters sound.  I think Pypes has some of the best sounding lers I've ever put on anything...but then again I like stuff kinda loud.

I used to like my cars loud,but I found it drew a lot of attention.I like that subtle,"sneak up and then kick your A$$" kind of sound.Kind of rumbly until you mash the skinny pedal.The Sport has surprised a lot of people around here.As I stated,once the Warlocks are purchased and installed,then it'll be a little quieter,and just a mellow,deep tone.I want it super quiet in the car once the windows are up (after I hook up the a/c).I still have to install the dynomat throughout the cabin and trunk.
