I have a 96 GT and i was thinking of re doing my whole exhaust headers and all and i was wondering what would be my best choice if i wanted glass packs or magnaflow and if eaither what would sound better also h or x pipe i currently have a bassani x pipe with 2 flowmasters but heard h pipes sound better and also what type of headers would works best for me and lastly what size should i go with

 

Well I love my set up so thats what Ill recommend. Magnapack catback, mac o/r h, and mac lt's. Go to my site for some clips.

 

Magnapacks all the way,I also love my X pipe too.

 

how loud is the exhaust and how much dose it normally run to do it all and did you all bolt it or weld it

 

For my Magnapacks and the X pipe it was like $700.All bolt on.You don't want to weld the SS.

 

Oh and it's real loud

 

but will it sound good on my car since urs is the newer style and for some reason sound diffrent nice i want loud but do you have the off road use only

 

Mine is the Magnaflow Tru X with cats.It will sound good on yours too.

 

03GTMUSTANG: I don't get what an "X" pipe does or what an "H" pipe does.
In the late 50s I had a flat head 1952 Ford vert with two 4-barrels and later in the early 60s a 55 chevy w/three 2-barrels. Both engines came from stock car racers. I did most of the work myself so I know what the valves,cam,pistons, etc., do in an engine...I joined MT after I purchased a 04 GT vert so I could catch up on cars. After reading about these exhausts, I went out and looked under mine. The exhaust runs straight back from the manifold thru the cats, then the mufflers and straight to the rear. In other words straight pipes.
It would seem to actually derate the power with extra turns and perhaps more backpressure??
Tell me in very basic terms what an "X" or "H" pipe does to improve performance. I really haven't a clue (you probably guessed that already) Thanks. Sorry this was so lengthy.

 

mostly all an x or h pipe dose is equlize the exhaust pressure and helps it flow i think not to sure how it all works other than they say they sound diffren x pipe is more raspy were as h pipe is more agressive i think dont hold me to it
