<FONT color=green>waddup, im puttin BBK 1 and 3/4 inch long tubes with an x-pipe...i have flowmaster dumps now and i like the way they sound, should i just leave those...or will they sound better with exhaust out the rear? i know its just preference but does anyone have any idea if it will signifcantly change the sound? thanx <IMG src=smileys/smiley14.gif border="0"></FONT></P>
You putting out about 350+hp? 1 3/4 is pretty big, most likely too big for mostly stock. It'll cost you some torque.
If you like the dumps, stay with them. I didn't notice much in the way of a noise difference with my truck when I switched from stock manifolds to headers, or my subaru, so I don't know that it'll sound any different.

subaru = more reliable, better fuel economy, better passenger comfort, better turning radius, better water sealing (I don't get wet while driving in the rain), better handling, better brakes, etc.
Sure, it's not as fast, but there's no reason for me to leave it stock. It's quite a bit faster than it was the day I bought it.
And I stand by my opinion that headers versus stock exhaust manifold doesn't produce a huge difference in noise.

Gunner, I'm a moderator on a subaru forum. It's not my fault that Ford produces an inferior product. I bought my mustang for the engine and tranny. Eventually they're going into something else. I was considering building a Cobra kit car, but after driving this leaky POS in the rain I've decided I probably want to swap it into something that won't leak - another Japanese car, more specifically a Miata.
In the mean time I'm going to be around here trying to pick up what info I can on this thing.

OK first of all any car can be made fast...anycar can be made to brake better, or handle better...that's the world of tuning a car to what you want! </P>
