1 vs 2 mufflers

USMCBULLIT · 04-14-2007, 10:45 AM

whats the difference in sound with 1 muffler vs 2 mufflers reason I am asking is I hate the way the 05+ gt mustangs sound I want to mount 1 muffler and run pipes all the way back like the 99+ mustangs

I guess you can try to fab something up, I can tell you from running straight pipes ( almost....It's actually an off-road H with SLP Loudmouths, which are just resonated tips ) it's ungodly loud.

Sound good? Sure does, some of the time...Other its nearly unbearable.

I mounted the oem H again this morning and will keep it that way until I can find suitable axle-backs or maybe do a different set up with headers and high-flow cats or something.

I know a lot of people say they don't like the sound, but there just wasn't any room under there for Ford to run a system in front of the rear axle like the pre '05s....

I hear someone is working on a set up, but I don't recall who....

well i had the mufflers mounted in the middle like the 99+ mustangs but its true duals sounds good but will adding the h pipe make it sound better?

Louder yes, better? Who knows....

Im not sure I understand the reasoning as to why you want to eliminate one of your mufflers. It stands to reason that by doing this you will create more restriction in the flow, which is not good. Out of all the 05+ that I have heard, the best sounding is a PYRES mid pipe and Bassani catback. The SLP's even sound pretty good.

all 87+ mustangs have 2 mufflers

only difference in 05+ is the mufflers are placed at the rear. There are some properties of sound to overcome when designing this. ford did their best to maintain a deep bellowy sound.

Just put a carback on there and you will be happy. No flowmasters. Bassani or the ford racing one sounds great.
