as the title says, the BBK LT's and O/R X finally go on next Friday, finally got the other car junk out of the garage and freed up some work time. we removed the side exits and got a stock 2 1/4" catback. we will be running dumps, so what mufflers. preferrably aggressive but not too loud. the current Borlas on the car sound good.

not sure how it would sound with bbk's but I am a big fan of magnaflow's. :thumb:

Dynomax Ultra Flo is similar to the Magnaflows....

But IM not a fan of dumps...they sound "odd"...prefer tailpipes....

With an offroad X a lot of mufflers are going to be pretty loud, I'm thinking the most mellow will be the Magnaflow mufflers or maybe 50 series Flows.

that is what I fear. I picked up some dynomax super turbo mufflers on "defect" from my work at $10 each, figure I can't go wrong for that price. just clamped on a turndown on one end, the first piece of the stock catback on the other, and welded a little hanger. throwing them on tonight to see how they are with the stock headers and catted bassani x.

I think no matter what I do lt's and no cats is going to be loud, I hope I'm wrong. these mufflers make no catted turbo cars sound good/quiet, so if these don't do it, I'm going to try some original equipment Walker brand mufflers. then again, if it sounds good while being loud, I guess I can live with it.

Nothing wrong with the Super Turbo Dynomax mufflers....can make a beast of a car sound tame....

i don't like how flows sound with an o/r X

I think if your looking for sound, and not too worried about performance, the flows sound awesome with a upr o/r x pipe, but on a 5.0. Had that exhaust setup on my 94 GT and it sounded really good. But I would never have flows on my Cobra.

thanks for reviving an old, dead thread. in the end, the solution was not mufflers, it was cats. changed a variety of mufflers, everything sounded like shit. put cats back on it, and the original borla side exits sounded good, stingers sounded good, even the dumps sounded much better

This is my 98 cobra with BBK lts and bbk orX with magnaflows. I like it. Its actually pretty smooth and quiet inside the car especially when cruising but it does SCREAM when you get on it lol I love it though
