I have run with cats, offroad H-pipe and now longtubes. All I can say is what sounds good with cats might or will sound like poop with an offroad pipe and pure **** with longtubes. So I say to you do you need to run the stock cats or want an offroad H-pipe or will you want longtubes? When you answer these questions then we can help you pick a muffler. Trust me I have spent tons of money on this mod and every time you change something in the system the sound will change a bunch with the same muffler on the car. Nothing against any of the opinions above but you need to understand what total setup they are running with their chosen muffler.

Good point. Since I originally intended on eventually getting to LTs and hi-flo cats, I went with the cheapest I could find early on...Flowmasters-everything else is stock Ford exhaust. I got lots of great comments on the sound of the Flows at track events from even non-Mustang guys.

But, from being at those track events, I got bored with the Flows not being loud enough. Still staying "cheap" I went with Pypes muffler deletes. Same basic tone as the Flows but louder( and a heck of a lot lighter for those looking to lose a few pounds). They may be similar to SLP Loud-Mouths in sound though I admit the LMs look a bit better (but the Pypes were nearly 1/2 the LM price).

When I eventually pull the trigger on the LTs and other exhuast changes, who knows. Probably need to go back to the Flows or other muffler to quiet it down a bit. Until then, Pypes muffler deletes are staying on.

Ditto, love my GTA's. The only other muffler I considered was the Flowmaster. I've heard them in person and they do sound great as well.

The sound is unbelievable when I go though an overpass or on that rare occasion when someone else is drivong the car away.

Absolutely, try being next to a concrete barrier,

Touring is louder since it's offroad.

I got the Corsa axlebacks w/ the Corsa X pipe. Duuuude, sounds awesome. Sound clips on youtube do them no justice. The car sounds COMPLETELY different revving in park versus punching it under load. Heck, it even sounded deeper when I slapped my 20s on, lol, guess they're heavy enough to change the tone of my exhaust. I need to get someone to follow me and post up some sound clips driving.
