Cool Mustang Sound!!!

I do love the way the Mustang sounds is there any after market mufflers that can produce that sweet sound of the pony car, or do i need to find a set of mufflers off a mustang that some one has replaced with new mufflers?

an H pipe will get you the sound you want. Mustangs come from the factory with an H-pipe

I don't think you will even be able to get close.

The motor is built for different applications (May help if you had a performance tune), and the exhaust is shorter and somewhat equal length. Which is impossible without moving the gas tank since it is in the way.

do it! ive heard it before, it sounds amazing. works best with a true dual setup.

i dont know about a 3 ft piece of pipe though that to me isnt possible, but adding a piece of pipe that goes between the 2 pipes before they get to the mufflers is very possible and does make a big difference in the sound.

You can do it pretty easy on a two wheel or 4wd drive. Your bends will be more aggressive/pipe size, headers can compensate for that. An "X" pipe in place of the "H" pipe. AND - A tune as said.

It can be done or close to it - If your looking for that healthy GT sound/ via hardware and tunning. Our manifolds are designed more for torque - Hell, an older Mustang is like a go-cart with a motor - That's not a bad thing, there's just a big weight difference between the two vehicles.

IF , your referring to that throaty GT sound effect the older ones have.

My 5.4L sounded similar to that at one time under normal acceleration, I was running just my forward cats (no rears) and a Slow Master 50 (Race series, not the SUV 50 series) - Everything else was stock. Sound like a GT 1/4 - 1/2 throttle from the light.

Look up user "Kevin24" and check out his gallery - He has the dual/ X-pipe set up on a 00-01 5.4L 4X4.

thats what i was explaining, i pipe (roughly 3 ft) that connects the two pipes in order to equalize pressure

yah but 3ft ?? ive seen one where it was only a few inches and it was no wider than like what an X pipe would be. the 2 pipes running to the muffler that are only a few inches apart had the pipe right there joining the 2 together.

the crossover pipe only needs to be about an inch long (between the long pipes)

On an F-150 true dual exhaust. Both pipes run down the same side of the truck.
So you only need a very short piece to connect the two pipes.

I myself prefer an X pipe!
