I know the flowmaster isn't being produced yet but i remember somebody posting that a guy had welded one on an 05. The original thread on stangnet has pics of it and a video with sound.

 

Don't forget Bassani...they're producing exhaust for the '05s now.

I love the sound of their cat-back on my '03.

 

Im waiting for Borla stingers.Had them on my mach 1 and they rock.Not too loud at idle and roaring at full tilt.Nice rolled tips too.Borla rep said out by end of year.

 

I voted for Magnaflow. They are the best at least I hope they are because I ordered the axle-backs today.

 

Bassani's...

 

Nice Bassani

 

the bassani system looks unreal... i'd buy those just for the look...

 

I'll wait for the MAC company to produce an exuhaust.....their O/R H-pipe and Cat-Back is just insane on my 00GT

 

ill just stand here smiling and nodding my head like i know what im talking about

 

Borla Stingers for the win!

 

I'll keep the ones that came with the car, I think they sound outstanding and put the money elsewhere,

 

I'm with him!

 

Added a few more choices,

I am leaning to Borla or Borla Stingers,

I know stingers are LOUD, just how loud they are is what I would like to know. I wish I could hear them in person.

 

Wonder if SLP is gonna do anything with the 05?, they've got the best tips IMO

 

If you want your car heard!!!! Go with flowmaster. The meanest sound out there. I'm gonna call tomorrow to see when they are comin out with 05 applications.

 

stingers!

 

be heard with flowmasters? haha everyone has flowmasters, mac just seems cheap, ill go with the bassani, best sound ever.

 

are we talkin' sound or performance? I've never seen anything other than pipes and mufflers from Flowmaster, but I LOVE their sound. Bassani came up with (or was the first to hit the market mainstreme) with the X-pipe, and hands down, that's a better performer than an H-pipe. Borla makes a pretty good high velocity exhaust, but high velocity is optimal for high RPM power range... no good for the low end. It really depends on the application....
But, my vote goes to Flowmaster.... 'cause I dig the sound.

 

I'll never again buy any exhaust product other than Magnaflow. I bought mine when not a lot of people had them, because I didn't want to be another Mustang guy with Flowmasters.

Don't get me wrong. I like the sound Flows make on most Mustangs, unless they're paired with an X-pipe. Sounds like crap.

The Magnaflows sound great and look great with that mirror-polished finish. If you've got to see the mufflers from the back of the '05, they may as well look good, right? They're also some of the most affordable, which is surprising due to the stainless construction.

Bassani cat-backs (axle-back for the '05) sound great. But, dang, they're expensive.

I currently have a Bassani X-pipe, but will go with a Magnaflow if they offer one for the '05. The cat-shield welds on my Bassani stink (going a little overboard with the filters, don't ya' think, guys?). They separated and started rattling. I had to have them retacked at an exhaust shop. Mine may have been an anomaly --- I've usually heard great things about Bassani --- but I'm not taking a chance on it. I'll go with the Magnaflow.

My $0.02.

I gotta agree with you Clint. I love the sound and look of Magnaflows. But I am a little partial...
