My new 03 Mach 1 has a Magnaflow catback - WAY WAY too loud for me....
What is a good flowing - quiet exhaust for the 4 valve motor with a catted x pipe?

magnaflow is about the quietest out of all the aftermarket CB's, other than stock. You can always get a Bassani CB and leave the baffles in. Bassani is pretty expensive, even the BX(aluminized) series will cost ya $570.00ish, stainless $760.00, both not including shipping.

Do you have the magnapacks or just the regular magnaflows?

I dont know they came with the car...I will climb under it tomorrow...they are loud as hell...Originally Posted by XavB
Sounds killer at highway speed ZERO drone...but man its loud at idle....very agressive sounding especially at WOT- but too loud for me..
how about borla?
You have the packs. They are round looking as opposed to the magnaflows which are just like a standard muffler.
You can get the magnaflows for about 350 shipped brand new and are a hell of a lot quiter than the packs. At 70 on the highway, it is just as quite as stock.
Then you have SSS, slp's, borla, bassani, mac.... Look on youtube for soundclips to pick the sound you like.
You gotta have packs. Iv been looking to trade for a reg ol magnaflow system for my LM2 catback. I would look into that one
I like the magnaflows as well. Nice and quiet all the way around unless you go WOT. Some people like the obnoxious loud all the time, but i find it annoying.
Borla has drone and it's loud as well.

They will be louder.
Not if you run 70 in 4th...lol
Drone is not bad at all just have to adjust your speed to avoid the sweet spot. which means 4th at 70 or 5th at 85....

Fathom the odd hypocrisy that Obama wants every citizen to prove they are insured, but people don't have to prove they are citizens.
If you voted for Obama in 2008 to prove you weren’t a racist, you’d better vote for someone else in 2012 to prove you’re not an idiot.

The set up I have now is AWESOME quiet at 2800 rpm at 72 mph...but way loud at ilde and WOT - WOT I can deal with ...idle shoult not be loud...
You have to have Magnapacks. If you switched over to flows, you would probably be happier.

if you can find one, an M55 catback is quiet but still free flowing.

LOL I thought an M55 was like the loudest exhaust you could get
Maybe it was the steeda...

Dude seriously...I dont need my car to announce my arrival from a block away
Vipers, Vettes, Porsches, and tons of other really fast cars dont rattle windows -
I am 44 and just want a healthy rumble - this car is stupid loud
My mach has the magnapacks with the stock h back on it and i need it louder again. It used to have an off-road h with the packs and it was loud but the tone wasn't good. With the packs and the stock h the car sounds pretty good though. Not loud when you are just cruising around and sounds nice and strong when you get on it a little.

this car has aftermarket high flow cats --- welded into an xpipe...maybe i just need to start over...cus it even gurgles as idle....just not a smooth set up...
maybe you can hear my car one day. I have lts with a gutted catted h, lm2s. Its proble the best toned mustang iv ever heard I love the sound. I just want it a tad quieter.
yeah you def dont wanna ride in my car then, I cant talk to the people that pull up beside me, I can still hear them honk though.

i dont really have drone with mine and my stingers are actually quieter than my flows were, so much so that my gf called me out on itnow with my tax return i get to buy myself a catted x to try and get the volume back up
getting there
h&r ss springs, kyb shocks&struts, 17x9 and 17x10.5 03 cobras, bbk catted x with borla stingers, sct tune and 3.73's.
so i fiinally climbed under the car....Its NOT a Magnaflow...well I suppose it is (was) - becasue the tips are...the mufflers are FLOWMASTERS!! damn it...no wonder I dont like it.
So now what? damn this sucks balls...which muffler do i get to get a nice WOT pitch and free flow without loud as hell start ups and idle....
Any help would be aprreciated...the rest of the exhust is BBK X Pipe with cats...and stock headers/manifolds
magnaflow.

regular ol magnaflows, slp powerflo are some of the quietist mufflers.
Agree with above. Quieter catbacks: flowmaster 3 chamber (50 series), magnaflows, slp powerflo
You should probably change your mid pipe while you are at it. From what I have seen x-pipes will probably give you the most gains but tend to be loud and with a higher pitch raspy sound (sounds great at WOT

magnaflows...I didnt want loud....its perfect for me now
Congrats on getting the sound you wanted for your car.
I installed my setup with 49 miles on my car and havent looked back. I LOVE it as it is
Rumbles at IDLE and rattles the neighbors windows under power and cruise is a sweet mellow agressive tone that lets the other cars now Im a coming through....lol
Glad you found the one you like.
Exhaust note is a personal taste for sure.....

glad you got it figured out. i fineally got mine sounding better (more like dons which is why i picked stingers in the first place)with a bbk catted x that bigdrumma helped me install. much louder and i noticed a decent power gain in mid to high rpm.
for me louder is better, Don and MrMach's Mach sound bad ass
