Need to chose an exhaust system

[Cobra Drifter]

Guys, help me pick out an exhaust system from Magnaflow.

Here is the list - http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/shopdisplayproducts_cars.asp?make=FORD&model=MUSTANG&year=2009

I'd like to keep it legal but doubt it lol. I want it loud and mean sounding like a tru muscle car should sound.

$ is no object here.

Thanks

[JTB]

Why just magnaflow?

Are you not considering the others?

[Gr8snkbite]

yea, really...try Corsa Extreme.....

[Cobra Drifter]

Because Im tenatively approved for full sponsorship by Magaflow for SEMA. I need to select my system to complete the process.

[Gr8snkbite]

oh...sorry..cant help..dunno about them...try searching some sound vids on youtube...

Maybe you could get a local cable company to sponser you...


Just sayin...

I think that would be a nice sound CD,I'd go with the tru x-pipe with the high flow ctas...But like MC mentionned,you tube would be the place to check them out!!I have high flow cats with x-pipe and FRPP axle back's,and really like the sound!!

Okay, let me spell it out clearly for you.......


ONE FOR ME AND ONE FOR YOU. EITHER OPTION. :grin:

Where are the headers?

I think having the high flow cats would help it more with passing smogg but then again by the time I need a smogg, 4 more years to go, I probably will have a snow balls chance in hell passing it lol

May have to just go all out and get off road x catless

[Cobra Drifter]

Forgot to include an exhaust cutout too

http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/displayapplications.asp?partnumber=10784

or

http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/displayapplications.asp?partnumber=10785

depending upon the pipe size

Ok let me put it this way... after the year of sponsorship and attending shows I believe the system is mine free and clear. So I "may" ned to change it up a bit and what should I do with the old system ;)

JBA would have been a better sponsor!!

You may want to check out the dynatecs?? headers... I think Alex from team shelby uses magnaflow exhaust with them...

[Cobra Drifter]

I dont have any extra $ before SEMA so I have to get by with what I can.
Perhaps adding ARH to the Magnaflow system will sound :drool:

Are cutouts illegal?

They are as illegal as NO CATS. :shades:

[Cobra Drifter]

Cut out definately added to the order then!!! :grin:

Guess need to chose between the two x-pipe combos

[The Bone]

Someone else I know had cutouts and man they were loud. it may be one more reason for cops to hassle you if they hear you and they will guaranteed. I would stay with the hi flo cats to save the hassle of putting them on when its time for a smog. Mod motors dont have the hot rod sound there is just something missing.
Good luck with you're choice Mario likes Magnaflow So does Marco for that matter. They both drive Chevys like SA.:redcard3:

Im not too worried about smog. I wouldnt be running in the streets with the cutouts on as that would surely get me a big ticket. Just thinking more of like car shows and the drag strip etc. The rest of the time they would be turned off so the exhaust goes via the muffs

[Alloy Dave]

I had magnaflow ovals and they were pretty quiet, but I see you're looking at round ones, should be louder.

[Cobra Drifter]

Ok need to submit today.

I see that there are axel back and cat back systems. Which is better and will #16433 (http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/shopexd.asp?zone=main&id=3709) work with either?

Should I go 2.5" or 3"?

Thanks

Cat back. Go for 3". Bigger is better right??

[Cobra Drifter]

But whats the technical difference between catbacks and axelbacks?

[Boston Mike]

But whats the technical difference between catbacks and axelbacks?

I could be wrong, but axle backs are fancy way of saying mufflers......cat back replaces the entire pipe from the x back (the up and over the axle pipes).

[Cobra Drifter]

Thanks Mike. MeowBacks it is then! THanks :)

[68fastback]

Thanks Mike. MeowBacks it is then! THanks :)

Will they spring for LT's, catted-X and 3" all the way? :grin:

...if not, yeah, big cat-backs better than axle-backs.

[Cobra Drifter]

Not sure how much they are really going to give me but Im asking for #16433, #16674 and a pair of #10785's :)

[Boston Mike]

WOO HOO. Let me know when you're ready to ship em out!!!!

:grin:

[onecrazydog]

Is this still on?

[Cobra Drifter]

Yup, sent in my proposal the other day with the three parts request. I will call back on Monday to see what is left to do (but really just to keep them on it as time is running out)

[onecrazydog]

Cool, I hope it all goes through!!

[Cobra Drifter]

Thanks. Me too. I dont have $ for an exhaust and MF is a very well built system.

[Joe G]

...awww

...scary how much she looks like the UPS guy, Mikey!! :biggrin:


One of the hazards of the Parts :monkey: getting all those packages weekly. :doh2:

[68fastback]

:spitcopy:

[Cobra Drifter]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!!!!

I just got my final email from Magnaflow! Officially sponsored! I have my complete exhaust system en route! Will be here this upcoming week :drool:

[Joe G]

:congratulations:

[onecrazydog]

Cool!!

Free is a good thing!!

[Cobra Drifter]

Thanks guys. This was really one that I wanted and it was a long tough road to get it.

Now I have to... wait for it. :(

[Gr8snkbite]

Awesome CD....

[Boston Mike]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!!!!

I just got my final email from Magnaflow! Officially sponsored! I have two complete exhaust systems en route! Will be here this upcoming week and I'll get :monkey:'s out to him pronto. :drool:

:woohoo:

[Cobra Drifter]

I wonder if they sent me all three pieces. I got a tip of who to talk to at Magnaflow as they may install it for me too. Too bad its already shipped. Delays, delays Im running out of time lol

Mike, want to buy my stock exhaust cheap? :monkey:

[68fastback]

CD, do you know where you're car will be shown ..what booth number or vendor ...just curious ...you may have mentioned it but I didn't recall.

If you visit Magnaflow, they usually set up outside -- in the parking lot across the access road to LVCC ...real nice folks every time I've visited. Wish I could be there this year too! I hope you get some time to spend in the Performance area ...amazing show. SEMA's sister org for the wheel/tire industry, APEX, uses a whole different complex nearby ...your tags will get you into both, but the main SEMA show at LV Convention Center is *the* place to explore if you have some time. GM has separate area in the Performance arena and Chrysler usually does a separate vintage muscle-car show in the connecting link to the next building. Ford also typically does a vintage/racing area outside ...all original stuff: '60s Kalitta FC/rails, Parnelli's BOSS, the theme varies show-to-show but always interesting and well worth seeking out if you have time. You're gonna have a ball! ;-)

[Cobra Drifter]

Thanks! No, I am not in a booth but still happy to be going as a Feature Vehicle. Sunday we arrive for parking and thats when they direct us to where they want us to park.
Hopefully not out in the elements but at least under some kind of cover from the sun and weather.

I have so much to do and so little time.

Say I heard that the 3" system limits the clearance of the driveshaft when one is lowered. Is this true? Im planning on getting even lower either this week or in 3 weeks from now after SEMA

[mustang loco]

congrats CD,very happy for you!!Need some pic's of you at the boot and vid's for exhaust,we need to hear it,..EH!

[Cobra Drifter]

Thanks Pat!
Should have it installed by Thursday night. Going to use my friends lift at his shop. Its just a far drive though. Good way to get some nice underside shots though

Just about every display area outside is covered since teh sun is brutal there. Feature Vehicle is an awesome honor!!

I would think it's mroe a problem if car is jacked from body (suspension hung), not how low the suspension is (dunno). Often depends where the X is located ...the further-back the more likely to have clearance issues with a one-piece DS when jacked.

[Cobra Drifter]

Thanks! :)

Ok I think I have one more question left. Since I ordered the 3" system, doesnt the stock exhaust manifolds have a 2 1/2" or 2 1/4" so will the kit come with an enlarger coupler?

Cool, glad to hear that it will be good odds to have some kind of coverage overhead! :thumb:

Usually the 3" is used with LTs and 3" catted-X, so dunno what they'll send. Maybe someone else has more insight on this.
Stock pre-'10s are 2.5; new ones 2.75, so you should have 2.5" to mate-up to.

Thanks! :)

sounds like it just won't work for you. You should just send it to me and I'll mate it up with the LT I plan on getting in the spring. :grin:

[Cobra Drifter]

The catback system is installed. :)

[Joker]

Deeper sound for sure.

[Cobra Drifter]

Is the motor running? :hiding:

:doh2: well the tru-x isnt installed so it will get louder and even alot more if I install the exhaust cutouts :look:

[Cobra Drifter]

Deeper sound for sure.

Yup but when driving its alot louder. :yes:

[Alloy Dave]

Good balance between sound and being able to hear in the car.

[Cobra Drifter]

Thanks Dave. At freeway cruising speeds its a little louder then i thought it would be but not bad at all.
