Hey guys... I just recently purchased an '07 GT. This is my 3rd Mustang. Even though I have been doing a ton of research, I need help deciding which mods to do. I have have a certain amount of money to work with, and I want to get the best bang for the buck. I know some of this is VERY subjective (esp. exhaust sound), but if you can help me out a bit, that would be greatly appreciated.

Definite Mods

1. CAI / SCT2 (JLT2 / Brenspeed or Bama).
2. Gears (3.90s... I drive about 400 highway miles a week).
3. Steeda Ultralite springs.

Now for the questions. I have had Flows and O/R H on pervious 'Stangs, and of course, it sounded amazing, but it was loud and droned like hell, and I'm over that now. I want something that sounds good, not real loud, and doesn't drone. So, based on clips that I have heard, I have come up with a few options to accomplish this.

Option A

Use stock mufflers with MAC O/R Prochmaber.

Option B

Flowmaster Axleback with stock H-pipe.

Also, if I go with the Flows (used pair form a friend), I was going to get some Steeda U/D pulleys also. If I go with the Prochamber, I will have to wait on the pulleys, becasue I'll have to buy the Prochamber brand new.

Now, which option would give me more low end torque, the pulleys, or the O/R Prochamber? Does anyone have any real world dyno numbers form either?

If you want to reply, please only respond with comments on these specific mods.

Thanks.

 

Your 3 planed mods sound good. One small piece of advice, stay away from the 3.90:1 gears. This is mainly cause motive makes them. Try to stay with the actually FRPP gears, less whine and better quality. (stay away from RPMoutlet please) Also is this a manual or auto? If man I'd do 4.10's, auto 3.73's. As far as exhaust it is a hard item to get right the first time. Stock h pipe is a good piece, used flows should be ok, but they did have baffle trouble in early production. Pypes sound pretty close and with a stock h it's awsome. Plus they are cheap new. Pullies are a good source of "free" power. There are plenty of write up's on this board about most of these items.

Also a used set of SLP loud ouths can be found on ebay of classifieds here. Sound, fitment is great and with stock h it's nice and mellow till you hamemr it.

 

Hey Billy,
First off "Welcome to the forum" Second since you mentioned the offroad Macprochamber I am just the guy to help you with some sound clips. I am attaching a sound clip of the offroad prochamber with stock mufflers and with the GTA's that I am presently running. Both will provide you with absolutely "NO DRONE" when cruising. But the GTA's are a little more aggressive sounding. Also a clip of my car on Brenspeeds dyno in early May so you can hear what it sounds like at WOT with the GTA's. And finally a sound clip of what all of us want our exhaust to sound like. At least me.

Thnaks guys.

Anyone else?

 

I wouldn't go with flowmasters, they are the king of drone, and the mufflers for S197's tend to have the baffles break. But who wants a baffled muffler?

If you don't want any drove, my advice is to keep it stock. Your going to have drone no matter what, aftermarket kits just have louder drones. I personally love it. I had an o/r h and flows on my 85 GT and the drone was loud, and I loved it.

 

Love mine. No drone here!

And they look great too (but I'm biased).

 

GTA's

 

as long as you cant see the mufflers sticking out the bottom of the car, i am fine with them
