Cat Back Exhaust Question

[Bub]

I'm looking to piece together a cat back system to save a few bucks, I'm going to order from latemodelrestoration.com, I noticed they have a set of generic looking stainless tips for like $149, just wondering if anyone had any experience installing them to see how involved it is, I'm going to purchase the pypes intermediate pipes and Jones Full Boar Muffler's, thanks in advance

what year is your car ? on my old 98 gt, got mac o/r H pipe with shop custom 2 flowmaster 40 delta, no cat, sound really nice, total around 300 or 350 dollar.

wow my bad, it's a 94 GT,

wow my bad, it's a 94 GT,

if you on the budget, get to delta muffer shop, most them carry flowmaster 40 or 44 series, make them a deal, 200 dollar for 2 flowmaster with SS tip with custom h or x pipe.

i did this combo to my 98 after listent to my friend 2000 gt, and he take me to place he got it done. after 1 month, i order mac o/r H pipe, because the custom made H pipe kinda raspy sound, the mac OR H pip fix that raspy sound.

I'll have to call around to a few places around me then I've never heard of ''delta muffler shop'' thanks for the info

I thought my 2.5" generic Flowmaster tailpipes looked great. Same price-$149.00 -I put tips on eventually.

Spmething is not right here...
From what you said:
Tips= 150
Mufflers 95 shipped ($39 a piece)
pypes intermediate pipes= 116-$140?
= $360 without shipping.


Why not just buy the mac catback. Its going to be cheaper in the long run.
Full catback..

I just saw that system today thanks.

I just saw that system today thanks.

Np, heres a video on my youtube from 2007 when i got the mac catback for my 4.6L.

Im pretty sure it sounds somewhat similar on the 5.0L. Only problem is most of these exhaust dont sound extra kick ass untill you remove the catalyitic convertors.
Sounds pretty good @ 1:21 and on... you cant go wrong with macs.. trust me

I like the MAC, I have one off a snive cobra on my car. granted me posting a video won't quite be the same, two less cylinders ;p

 

[Twista]

Perfect example on the 5.0.

Just need to remove the cats to mimick this sound:

Sounds similar to flowmaster if thats what your looking for in the end.

I know this is gonna sound noob as hell but after removing the cats, i prolly wont get an engine code since 94, i only have pre cat o2 sensors nothing post cat right??

 

[killagt]

on my 98, it have 6 cat, and the muffler shop guy say, my car must be from california.

I'm running the Borla System. You can find them decently priced if you look.. Or if your even into that sound. I love it on my 5.0 so quiet at idle too.

No codes. The 02's ever know if the car has cats or not b/c it takes the reading after the cats anyway.

where did you get your borla cat back? The chepest one I have found was $640

 

[robb15033]

The Borla link didn't work for me, FYI. The MAC systems sound just perfect, sweet ass cars there. I've always been a fan of the ProChamber too. Great video, great choice.

That's how the 96-98 cars are

I'm going to agree, i got the mac catback with 3 inch tips from stangmods for less than $300. But if you really want to save money, dump the exhaust before the axle, i think it makes sn95 cars look much cleaner imho. and i have also heard of some crappy fitment issues with the pypes mid pipes..

I say go with these: http://www.cjponyparts.com/product.aspx?p=CBM21&utm_source=google&utm_medium=merchant&utm_campaign=shopping

and this mid pipe: http://www.americanmuscle.com/bbk-offroad-xpipe-9495.html

While thats nice, but not the price range hes looking for. Borla is far from being cheap.


And no on the 5.0 you can remove the cats without triggering the CEL light. On the 96+ GT's is where you trigger the CEL.

While i agree the BBK o/r x sounds tits.. its a acquired sound. Far to many people hate the sound of the BBK o/r x. I wouldn't recommend it without the buyer listening to tons of clips with this midpipe. I however love the bbk o/r =]

off topic, after you install the exhault system, include header, should you retight all the bolt after few day ?
