Default Exhaust question

I have a 95 mustang GT with automatic transmission. When i got mufflers on they put a two chamber Flowmasters on. Well it wasn't the sound i wanted. I wanted a deeper and louder sound. So i bought BBk shorty headers and got them installed. I hear really no change in sound. Where should i go from here?

If you just had a set of mufflers tossed onto the stock pipes its not going to do anything but make it louder and with slowmasters it wont be much louder.

You need to change the mid pipe out to get a louder sound out of the car now. For a nice old school deep muscle car sound you want an Off Road H-pipe on your car for sure.

Here is a clip of a 302 with that setup.

For your car, I'd say uncatted would be the best.

That is true, unless you have someone who will pass you regardless.

You can leave them there and the EGR setup will still work, but not as good.
