You are correct. I went back and looked at it later and you can see where the drivers side tire was spinning it just didn't leave a mark until I got off of it.


Thank you. The weather is crap here again today so the car will stay in. I can't wait to get some miles on it. Also want to cruise on the highway some.


Morning Larry,
So far I really like the sound. Can't wait to get some miles on her to start breaking in those Maggie's. Something else that surprised me is the Magnaflows are smaller than the GTA's by about 2 inches on the width. So I was surprised how much they lowered the tone. At this point I see no reason to build that custom Prochamber on the spare OBX H-pipe. And you should have heard Karen when she saw her camera stuck on my rear bumper.

Sorry Iowa...but I think you fixed the same problem I hated with a different muffler. The Flows are also chambered like the Magnaflows and that seems to be the key to getting rid of that raw and raspy tone when going to non catted longtubes.

 

I think the GTA ride-along video sounds better than the Manaflows.

 

i have some pretty good drone with my pypes MM's, i love the deep and loud sound they give off, especially at WOT, but I am thinking I may add some type of chambered muff to the axleback portion of the car and see how it sounds....

the drone just gets to you after a while...

does anyone know if the over axle pypes pieces will mate up with an axle back system???

 

****, you don't notice drone with that 289/fm 40's???

I now have the pypes mm setup with JBA longtubes and off road h-pipe. IMO opinion this is the perfect exhaust setup, probably similar to his magnaflow's but louder/deeper. I was going to have them pipe my MAC axle-backs in with the Pypes MM's but there were problems having them aligned and would require cutting/welding.

I'm glad I didn't have them installed because I LOVE THIS EXHAUST!!!

 

I don't notice any drone with my Pypes MM config:

hmmm

i have heard several people say that their pypes setup does not drone, but mine does right around 2k

otherwise i agree, the MM setup is by far the best sounding exhaust...

I'm gonna put some sound deadener in my floors and trunk, and if I can reduce the cabin drone a little bit than I will definately keep this setup.

i really dont have too much drone with the 40's on my 65... chambered muffs do a good job reducing the reverberations

my dad has magnaflows on his 65 (351C) and it just sounds mean as ****. the mags really have a distinct sound...

 

Sounds amazing man!




Why is it Your videos always make me cold? Haha

 

I can't imgine why Matt. It is 38 degrees with a wind chill of 29. It is dizzling all day with snow furries mixed in. The wife and I are headed to south Florida in two weeks. This has been a long winter.

 

I like the magnaflow set up. Really liked the last video. Long tubes, h-pipe, (no cats?) and magnaflows, right?

Well I have an x-pipe, no cats, long tubes-----wonder how that would change the sound.

 

You are correct. I have longtubes, non catted H-pipe and the Magnaflows. It really seems this is what I needed to tone the whole system down a tad. It was pretty raw sounding with the GTA's

 

Texas FTW! Its been above at LEAST 60 for the past month, only gettin warmer!

 

I had decided on this exact set-up about 2 weeks ago, and someone posted this link on mustang forums. im excited.

 

This thread started about three days too late. I just sent my money in for a set of GTAs, I could have polled you guys for a set of used GTAs.

Semper Fi

 

Ah, you'll not be getting my GTA's anytime soon.
I'm getting quite used to the nice raw bark mine has with the LT's,O/R H & GTA's

 

Yeah baby! hahahahaa

 

I have almost the same setup. American Racing LTs with there catted H pipe and the GTAs. The GTAs were the first mod I did. I get so many comments on how good it sounds.

 

Okay Larry ...this sounds like a call out!!!. So here is the deal...I am going to post a vid of my car tonight. I challenge you and Tom281 to post your vids for the masses to make the final decision. I drove the car today and have a very positive opinion of how they sound and I want to drive it somemore before I post my opinion. Are you guys in for the challenge??????


This place will not let me upload my vid tonight so I throw down the gauntlet to you and Tom to post your vid and I will be back.
Scott

 

LOL sorry Scott but I think my setup will smoke yours.....

I don't have a brother from Illinois riding on the trunklid taking my videos for me either! hahahaa

 

Meh the best exhaust is the one that nets you the most power. I don't care if it sounds like a cheap civic when I pass you racing, the point is I'm passing you.

Scott,
You know whatever makes you happy is what you should go with
I'm glad your happy with your Maggies, I know the GTA's didn't set well with you. I think the differences between your vert + auto & my coupe + standard also makes a difference in the in-cabin sound tone.
We're both old enough to do what pleases us first & the heck with the rest of 'em, we've earned that
I will get a current vid up within the next week here though & will include some in car vids, now that it has finally gotten warmer here.
