***SOUND CLIPS ON POST 73***

Figured I'd start a thread on this to help out some guys that drive their cars on the street mostly. I'm ditching my ORY/GMMG setup for a 3 inch under the axle TD system. Being in CA I don't want to take anymore chances with my car being loud as hell and it is getting annoying for a DD. Most people told me to get a Hooker/Magnaflow to replace my GMMG but for the same price after selling it I could have TDs. Here's a breakdown of parts/costs excluding labor (Im expecting around $400)

2 Borla Pro XS Mufflers. 3 inch offset inlet/center outlet. Both will go under the backseats on each sides. I chose these because in a test done by a Mustang magazine they were the quietest out of 12 or 13 different mufflers of all brands including Magnaflow and came 3rd in power behind open Flowtech Warlocks (essentially cutouts) and Hooker Maxflows. Both were $178

My hand on one to put the size in perspective


Thunderbolt Cats/X pipe

Decided to go with these for price/reviews. Several people had good results with these cats and said they looked identical to Magnaflows 59959 highflow cats. For the pair it was $120 shipped. The x pipe was another $30 shipped, looks very similar to the Magnaflow X as well

 

a quiet yet powerfull setup... great, looking foward to see the result. if you have a decibel meter you can measeure how loud it is

 

Looks good to me...minus the cats but i know you CA guys gotta do that crap.

 

For me its more than being in CA. I'm way over the raw fuel smell every day driving to work and I know they will quiet it down even more

 

Looking good you doing stainless or aluminumized pipe?

 

Aluminized non mandrel bent. There won't be too many bends in this system

 

Nice I love my TD under axle set up.......I also added 2-bolt flanges to mine just invade I have to remove the rear end or the fuel tank. When I build my new motor I will be adding cats aswell.

 

See ive always kind of like the raw fuel smell

 

The ladies don't, for the most part.

 

Thats right. Though there are a couple i know (drag racing girls)(good looking ones at that) they like it. Not the prissy ones though. My g/f doesnt but thats fine by me

 

under the axel?

why not just go over the axel, it looks 10x better that way

 

Tell me where I can put those mufflers and have room to go over the axle. My friends said the same thing until they saw the mufflers. Plus I like the look of under the axle

 

X pipe looks great. You said it was only 30? I have always liked the sound of Borla but never agreed with the price! Looks great tho should sound amazing

 

are you still running a rear seat? if not, cut the "bubble" out from each side and replace with flat sheet..... could fit mufflers under that area then. i also dont care for under the axle duals. i would either do turndowns or get creative to get the pipes over the axle and hidden.

 

I was going to have them put them where you are talking about. Haven't had a rear seat for a few years

 

 

96lt1m6 i love the way you have that setup!!

 

Thank you its now its time to step up to 3"

 

Or if want to try to go over the axle you could mount them like this

Seen that already. Im pretty set on under the axle. The roads by me are nice and smooth and I dont see very many speedbumps, certainly not on a daily basis.
