Headers and exhaust

I know a lot of people with flows on Stangs past and present... I know it's old school but so far they're still my favorite. I'd love to hear the ford racing ones in person. When I get delivery hoping to get out and hear/see some before everyone packs it up for Winter 
I may change my mind... just not pulling the trigger til I hear some different ones in person.
BTW, was that you in the vid Doogie?

I wouldn't go Flowmaster if it was me. They don't sound all that good and they are known to drone. On a fox body year they sound good but not on the newer engines.
I would recommend looking at the Borla series mufflers to be honest. They don't drone they are made of SS and won't rust like some of the flowmasters have done in the past ( I think they may have fixed the issue but I am not sure) and they warranty their mufflers.

To be honest I have listened to so many exhaust videos for my car I know how just about every axle back sounds on the 4.0L and took me a really long time to find one that was perfect for me. I had the FRPP Bullitts and I loved the mellow subdued tone to them but they weren't all that loud so I put on some FRPP FR500S mufflers and the exhaust note is loud and aggressive and it has that little pop and crackle when you step off the gas that sounds amazing. It is going to take a while and maybe some trial and error to find the prefect exhaust for you.

You might consider this axle back........Deep growl." ROUSH" for the V6 . If you want another variation that is even louder "BORLA ATAK". The ATAK is in my opinion the finest axle back for V6 . It may cost more than the others. Listen to the cabin sound . Borla is MUSCLE CAR EXHAUST. Like Codered said, you don't have an 8. They are all good systems though. If you want more power supercharge the car, with a PROCHARGER. You would make 475 HP. I like headers on an 8. When u do headers throtlle body change as well. Long headers , shorty headers. Start with the axleback. Headers can put you into warranty issues. If you want to mod with piece of mind wait till after warranty expires. Once you start modding it may never end . You already have been "BITTEN" .Superchargers cost a couple of grand. That 13 is powerful as it is ,just saying. Remember its ur car . Axlebacks not a warranty problem. Dealers will even install them.
