best roaring muffler?!

[ohioshodude]

hey guys, whats the best loud roaring mustang like muffler? i've herd bullets and they are nice, but is there any others out there? anyone have sound clips of there v8 sho? thanks!

I've got V-Force, they are a bit less expensive than flomasters but they sound really good, nice and throaty. About $60 each.

Borla Boomers...if you dont mind paying 300+ a piece for mufflers

Who needs mufflers?

'96 Taurus SHO - Open Exhaust

'00 Lincoln LS - Open Exhaust

Personally, I like both of them

Flowmaster 40 series sound nice as well and WAY less than $300!! I got my entire exhaust done for $250. That included a true 2.5 internal diameter flex pipe, no third cat, 2.5 section in place of resonator all the way to the "Y", 2 forty series flows and opening up the factory tips to 2.5 as well.

Having the big debate as to whether to go back and complete the 2.5 the rest of the way back. Just not sure if it will make any difference or not.

I'm not sure if this has ever been brought up here with you v8 guys, but does anybody have an exhaust dump set up? One of the guys here in Edmonton who has a 97 SHO, recently put on an exhaust dump. From what I could tell he had a switch inside that would force the exhaust into a second set of pipes that would exit close to the back doors. It sounded amazing since it would bypass the mufflers, causing the unrestricted v8 sound. Just a thought.

Do you get what you pay for? I would like to get a new set of mufflers for my SHO. I like that nice V8 rumble. I am not in the mood to pay $300 for new muffers.

I was pretty happy with the Flowmaster 40's I had on my '97 SHO... I also had the exhaust resonator removed and I had different tips installed.


Sounded damn good for a Taurus thumbs_u

Man, I miss that sound now frown

Oops, shouldn't have posted in that way. I have have the V-Force for about 9 months and from what I can tell there is no breakdown or rust and sound just as good as they did on day 1. Of course they are not chrome plated or anything like that but I think they are great mufflers

Can you post a sound clip? How long have you had them? Is there a raspy sound in the high revs? Is it quiet in the low revs?

Magnaflows are good. They will enhance your stock sound and protect you from the stupid high school drop-out sound that we all have heard on Flowmaster Mustangs.

Hmmmmmm.... Flowmasters = high school drop-out? Well, I'd rather be thought of as a high school drop-out with a testosterone sounding exhaust than to be considered a ricer with a rubber band / gerbil drive / fart can exhaust... but hey, that's just me.

In all honesty, the Magnaflows do sound nice too, but way too subdued for the true maniacs out there wink

 

[FireRanger]

if you want it loud, just poke holes in the muffler with a screw driver

lol, just kidding.

Why do you want the SHO to sound like a mustang? I just don't get it. Seems like the often cliche' "ricer" syndrome to me. you want it to sound more than it is, why?

the 3.4L V8 ISNT a 4.6L Cobra engine, its not a 5.0. its a 3.4L. i never understood the obsession with the super loud exhaust notes.

I like it throaty, but not raspy at any RPM. and when its WOT, i dont want it to sound like a 454 off the headers. just nice and mellow off the line, maybe slightly louder than stock, but then start to open up in the higher RPM range. something like a Flowmaster Delta 50 is what i like.

 

[JoeHoe_SHO]

C'mon, someone has got to put 1 of these on there SHO...I would if I had the cash flow

 

[stephen newberg]

I have decided to go with the Borla's if the mufflers that came with the car will every rust a hole through. I believe they have a catback set up that is designed for the Gen III SHO. Not likely to be as loud as those Boomers, though.

I am not trying to rice it up, but I do like the V8 sound that is eaten up by the stock mufflers. We are not trying to make it sound like something it is not, we (or at least I) want to get that unrestricted V8 sound that is gobbled up by the existing mufflers. Mustangs just happen to have a less-restrictive exhaust than our SHOs. I don't want it obnoxiously loud, I like a deep, mellow tone that opens up at WOT. thumbs_u
