I really dig the sound of the last gen Mustangs not the new ones they built but the model before that. The GT's really sound mean. I was wondering if anyone has done the same to get the same sound from an SC400? Is that possible? I mean the mustang is a 5.0 and we are only 4.0. Any info if its possible to mimic the GT sound?

a pair of flowmasters and an h pipe will get you about as close as you can get. you could always get a set of lumpy cams and some headers but enjoy the cost. i personally think the 1/2uz sound more like chevy's...but thats just me

leon you will have to come listen to my dads car after we get the exhaust done. its getting magna flow 14827's full custom pipe and an x pipe followed by some tex headers. so ill give u a call when we are done with it

Do what I did - it sounds even better than a Mustang -

I removed all the piping and all three resonators from the cats up front all the way to the L-tuned mufflers at the back. I replaced all of that with 2.25 inch mandrel bent pipes and a Magnaflow 2.25 inch stainless steel Tru-X pipe

Hank, give me the call man, i'll be waiting would love to hear that lex , btw did ya'll do the supercharger yet???

and Hameed that thing sounds like a beast.....Sweetness. How much did it set you back for the full exhaust setup?

Hameed

Thanks!

The exhaust cost $675.00 Canadian and and the mufflers cost US$650.00 over three years ago when I upgraded the stock mufflers to L-tuned mufflers.

So im looking at around 1300 if canadian and american are the same???

Hameed

Depends on the mufflers you end up buying. The L-tuned ones I have on my car were expensive 3 years ago compared to what you can get from Magnaflow nowadays.

The whole job will probably run you about $1K or thereabouts.

no way a custom exhaust would cost you 1k. Go to a decent muffler shop and tell them you want an X pipe and bigger piping (whatever size you need) i doubt it'd cost more then 500 (including cost of the muffler).

^ Maybe for press bent, but mandrel bent exhaust will cost a lot.

Is there much difference between sound and performance between mendrel and crush bent? I know mendrel is better, but still for an almost bone stock the mendrel wouldnt make that much of a difference wouldnt it?

GReddySetG

No, the diffrence is not huge. Just as long as you know there IS a diffrence.

Cannonbear

well yeah mandrel is more but i doubt the power diff is noticable on a stock engine, espicially when he just wants sound.

I'm pretty sure the last generation wasn't a 5.0. I think either a 4.6 or 4.8

95 Integra

4.6, the last 5.0 was back in 95. The "last gen" should be the 99-0X.
