Looks like I'll be copying your exhaust system, minus the headers and plus my front cats.

This is a vid of my 97 Sport "Raven" I just had a custom X pipe and dual exhaust put on it by Charles, at Barry's Performance shop here in Fayetteville. He fabricated the Xpipe himself and did the entire exhaust in 2.5" pipe. Loud and Proud! :cool: We need to put the hangers on the exhaust, that's why the pipes are uneven, we just have a couple of hangers tacked in place for right now. They will be 100% level and tucked up nice when he is done with it. Hope you enjoy.

Believe me no matter how much you turn your speakers up, it's louder in person lol. It sounds like it has a lot more power than it does...... For now :cool2:

This video was back in 2010 before the intake swap. I haven't noticed a change in the exhaust note after the swap but I knocked off a half second on my ets which is all that matters. :D

1994 Cougar 4.6

Here's my 94 Cougar with Car Sound cats (front two only), Magnaflow DIDO muffler (2.5"). At the time, the back end was 2" off of a reducer from the muffler now replaced with the 2.5" Mandrel Bent Exhaust kit we all love.

Hey guys i had a couple questions about some mufflers.

First off i just finished a big week at work with 25 hours of over time so I'm getting the bird fixed up. right now i have a straight pipe y pipe set up that goes from 2" to 2.5" and it sounds great but I'm getting tired of how loud it is. i want to get a muffler that will let me hear the car but not while I'm at idle lol. I've been watching mad Youtube videos and found a lot of mufflers that sound good but don't know how loud they are inside the car. if i can get some info on what some of you guys run and how loud they are that would be great.

I've got the Mandrel Exhaust Systems duals setup with a Magnaflow X pipe and Dynomax Super Turbo mufflers. I've got a couple videos in the sticky.

The Super Turbo is Dynomax's 2nd quietest muffler. It's just a tad louder than what you'd hear on a stock 99-04 GT. There is a bit of drone however from 1600-2000 or so which I have come to understand is mostly the x-pipe.

I would like if it was quieter at freeway speeds, but around town it's pretty tame. You can hear it all the time, but it's not so loud that it drowns out the stereo. Best way to get the idea of how it sounds would be to use good headphones with my interior video (most speakers slaughter bass, and I made a point of using my good mics to record that video). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8dU7p3YMno

man thats the sound im looking for. you car sounds DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN GOOD!!!!!!! do you think there will be big sound difference between the true duals with xpipe and my set up?
 
#26 ·
Inevitably yes - a larger pipe will create a lower tone and a smaller pipe will be higher. You will probably be a little quieter since you don't have an X, but I can't say for certain. When it comes to how different configurations change sound in exhaust, I'm far from an expert.

Alright guys got it installed and it sounds great but just a little to quiet. do magnaflow's have a break end period or will the tone stay the same
 
#31 ·
I had a friend whose mufflers did.

Then again, stock mufflers behind a 600HP 502CID tend to have break ins. Or should that be break OUTs :diablo: He'd sit there, punch the throttle in neutral, and you'd hear the plates stack up against the back of the muffler :D If it didn't just blow the back out of it, AGAIN.

My dad had dynomax super turbos on his 97 cougar and the car gradually got louder over a 4 month period. but i wasn't sure if magnaflows are nitorious for losing there packaging over time
