Default Two Questions

Hey,

1.) I got a take-off GT Catback exhaust system and I'm looking to replace the mufflers, which muffler's should I use that will work with the system to give me a more throaty sound?

2.) I'm looking to get 18x9 Hypercoated Saleen Rims for end of the quarter/goodgrades/birthday from my father. I'm going to buy them from Mt.com and before I have my father whip out his credit card for the rims (I still have to pay for the tires) I wanted to know if the rims would fit without any rubbing since the car is lowered. I know that this type of concern has been brought up a lot of times, but its my turn damnit!

Here's a picture, maybe it'll help.



Those are stock 16" with an unknown base.

No rubbing...mine only rub if I turn the wheel COMPLETELY to the side, and thats Extremely rare... SpinTECH SPINTECH SPINTECH mufflers...they're straight mufflers sound Great i'll find you a sound clip, but they really do sound good....if you look on 3.8mustang.com they have a bunch of clips there too...

id say go with dynomax superturbos, they are cheap and sound awesome on a v6, they sound about the same as the spintechs.

Well my father ended up getting the 18x9 chrome saleens for my birthday, so now I need to figure out what kind of tire I need. I believe someone suggested that a 265/35 wouldn't rub on a 2 inch drop... but I'm not sure someone correct me on that if I'm wrong.

Also, what about the Flowmaster Super-40 muffler? I just want the sound, not the preformance.

You see? There you go buddy, you're my hero, and you're influencing my purchases. How does that make you feel? Powerful, almighty, or just helpful? Choose wisely :banana:

I guess that means parking at the back of the lots eh?

The slowmaster 40's sound like *** on a v6. I would compare it to say.....farting in an empty tub.

I open to suggestions on the best sounding muffler on the V6 model.. I'm easily swayed by the opinion of MT members...
