I'm currently running muffler deletes, SLP LMs. However I'm tired of the sound, I want something that sounds more "performance" than just loud. I want it to be loud still but have more of a tone to it, if you understand what I'm saying. I was thinking about getting the Bassani Race Axleback with a offroad H or X Pipe, what do you think? X or H & which brand?

OR prochamber with any cans. I had the prochamber with magnaflow cans out back it was nice and deep. I am now running catted mac X pipe with the boomtubes and i will never go back.
You can try Cervini's Complete Exhaust setup... I just put one on my V6 and it honestly sounds like a V8 now... only problem Is now I have to get new rims and tires, because the exhaust is so low to the ground with my 16" rims that its litterally 2 inches from touch the ground... I am hoping 20" rims will fix that... The exhaust sounds great it comes complete with side skirts and everything. (dual side exhausts)...

If it's an offroad H or X then brand doesn't matter, just make sure it's SS. As far as which pipe (H or X) it's all personal preference. The H will be deeper, the X raspier. Up to you.

Well I would have to say the X pipe since its a little raspier... My Cervini's exhaust system sounds like a real "Race Car"... but it also helps the perfomance a bit too... While I don't have access to exact numbers, I believe I read somewhere that you can expect anywhere from 15hp to 20hp with a custom exahust over the "Factory" stuff... At first I thought this sounded "To good to be true", but with my recent additions to my Mustang (Exhaust Kit, and Air-Ram Kit) I immediatley noticed a HUGE difference in performance... Accelerator is more responsive, and that little V6 really "EATS" now when I demand it...
I wish I could be of more help, but exahusts are simliar to rims... they all do their job, some just do it differently... but in the end, you will be happy either way...

Dont lower the car and get a 40 series tire with those 20"s in the rear of the car esp. Trust me it will fill the wheel well better and compensate for lack of the drop and help prevent exhaust scraping issues.... I have been lucky so far and I am in Detroit area...Nitto invo's or toyo s/t's (truck tire)...see this link http://www.mustangforums.com/m_5067355/tm.htm

Thumper, What ever you decide please post some audio. I am currently running a x-pipe with muffler deletes and I want to quite it down a bit, but I can't decide on a axelback, a resonator, or a mid muffler. Thanks.

if you want a TONE to it, you're not going to get it by removing the cats.
just about any muffler you put behind an o/r pipe on these cars will just produce noise, not a smooth sound. these 05+s really sound like assballs without cats.
mike.. i had this same problem.. (with the cutouts..) they were just getting old.. it was sure as hell loud.. but, thats it.. just loud.. i wanted more of a toned sound for driving..
so i bought the pypes mid mufflers.. drove around with those and left my high flow cats on (SLP modular x pipe.. can switch between cats or off-road).. and the sound was good.. but too quiet for me.. so on monday, i went and had a rattle fixed and while he was under there, had him take out my cats and put the straight pipe in there.. OMGGG.. i dont even bother with my cutouts anymore..
the sound is deffinately more of a performance sound rather then a 70's carburetted big block.. (or atleast my impression of what i was trying to achieve? )... but ya bro.. sounds soooo good.. if you want to hear it.. call me up or somethign and we can meet and you can hear it..

How does your setup sound with the Bassani catted X and (straight through?) Borla's? I was wondering because I'm planning to get the catted X from Bassani, and I already have SLP LM's. Do you have any sound clips? (Sorry for the HJ)
