Getting me 08 GT soon and one of the first things I want to do is Long Tubes (American Racing or Kooks) and Mufflers (Borla Stingers/Corsa). I was wondering who has what here and it its O/R or Catted. Any sound clips would be appreciated too. Thanks!

i heard there was a guy at the cunningham park meet with LI Stangs last thursday with ARH longtubes and catted X. *ManyStyles* (Gus) from here and LI Stangs also has ARH with off road H and macs with resonators too. Best thing for you to do is come to Cap Tree sunday and check some out yourself

thats gotta be loud.


I have BBK LTs and a BBK o/r x-pipe. It depends where you are from if you should do o/r or catted mid pipes. If you cant pass emissions with no cats and you dont have anyone who will pass you then dont do it. My buddy who works at Ford does my inspection.

Yeah its pretty beastly but not as loud as my buddy wants his.. but he just bought his stang so he doesn't know any better.. He wants a whole slp set up Lt's, O/r x. with LOUDMOUTHS... i was like your insane i had loudmouths with my stock exhaust and it was pretty vocal then.. I can only imagine how his ears will be buzzing

I'm telling you man, American Racing Headers and Corsa = pure ownage IMO. :D

I'd say for the midpipe get catted, but that's just my decision since I want to pass emissions testing. ;) I don't want to have to swap out pipes every time I need an inspection. Damn emissions crap! [:@]

For sound clips, search for the "official exhaust thread." I have no doubt you'll bookmark that thread. ;)

Yeah I've heard those and I agree they do sound like pure sex. ;) I really do like the Borla sound a lot, but I hear they're rather droney. But I'm not sure if ppl are talking about the stingers or other Borla models.

I almost guarantee, that the corsa's with that setup will sound even better. Havent ever heard the corsas first hand, want to bad though.

The stingers do drone a bit, but at 1800-2000 only and only noticeable in 5th as i see it. But then again [sm=gears.gif]

Me too. The first time I watched it, I started drooling. lol

I used to think our 3-valves didnt sound as good as the 4 valve Mach 1's and the N/A corbras. That video changed my mind!

Kooks LT's with the their catted X seem to be tuned perfectly for our engines. It just sounds so right!
