Borla or flowmaster?

[buxton11]

I have stock exhaust right now. I dont really like the slps cause i hear they are extremely loud and raspy i like a deep rumble but somewhat loud....
any ideas?

What year and model is your car? You may want to update your profile to show that info because Borla kits are different for a 1996 GT vs a 2004 GT.

Main pros for the Flowmaster is that it's less expensive than the Borla, it has that classic, throaty exhaust note that screams Mustang. Cons are that it's made of aluminized steel (hence the lower price) and the tips are not as nice, IMHO, as the Borla tips.

Main pros for the Borla are the extremely high quality materials and craftsmanship, million mile warranty, the awesome looking 4" rolled-edge tips, and the smooth exhaust note. Cons are high price.

Like I mentioned, the Borla kits vary depending on what year Mustang you have. The Flowmaster American Thunder kits are pretty much the same for 96-04 GTs. Give us a little more info and I'll be able to be more specific.

I am new here to mustang exhaust so i am just figuring stuff out.... thanks for the info.... if you have any other suggestions just tell me

SLP Period...keep your stocker H and throw the LM catback on, you won't be dissapointed and it won't be raspy...only raspy with the O/R pipes...

I had SLP on my 04 GT and I will be getting it for my Mach 1 now...

but not to be bias...Borla is also a good choice...

all depends if you want a straight thru or Chambered muff

and not to step on Nino's toes...but IMO SLP has the best tips hands down...even if you dont' like the exhaust lol I find the Borla tips too big myself...but meh, everyone's different right...

Here's a couple vids for you dude...

1st vid is SLP catback with Stock H pipe

Thanks man those videos help alot..... it seems like in all the other videos the slps are raspy but yours sounds great.... I might consider getting slps if mine would sound like that and it definatly beats paying 600 some dollars for borlas

[Ghost Rider]

^^^I'd be willing to bet that you WON'T be dissapointed with SLP...and it will sound even better in person

[PONYBOY2001]

[buxton11]

Ghost rider what slp do you have just the loudmouth 1's?

[Ghost Rider]

flowmaster.....

[Ghost Rider]

Ghost rider what slp do you have just the loudmouth 1's?

I just call them Loud Mouths cause they are the original ones...before LM II and PowerFlo came out...but yes...short answer to your question is they are the LM I's

:cheers:

get the flowmaster original flow 40's with an o/r mid-pipe..

[buxton11]

I heard some flowmasters today in person and they were just about as quiet as my stock exhaust and i dont really want to get a midpipe and mess with the mill eliminaters and all that crap

[DropTopStang]

You may want to think about changing out the midpipe. I don't know if its the same with the 4.6's but I had a noticeable increase in power when I changed mine out

[buxton11]

i am just going to get a catback because i dont want to mess with the midpipe.... right now i am leaning toward slp because its different and not as many people have it

[Ghost Rider]

^^^leaning towards??? thought you woulda had it on the car already...lol jk

[buxton11]

lol i just have to save up a little more money

[Mach03]

I was going to go with Flowmasters, but I found a guy selling headers, x, and a cat back borla stinger kit for $800 bucks and took the deal. (His wife divorced him and was taking his Mach...Poor guy..) Could not be happier. Perfect sound.

[buxton11]

that is one hell of a deal... but thats what women will do to you

[Nino]

Hey man, record a sound or video clip and submit it to our collection! That's an order soldier!

[TheGreekGuy]

i disagree my gf helped me put my slp on. saying thats what women will do to you is a general bias guys.

[Mach03]

Very true. Mine never helped me with exhaust work, but she did burn my clutch!

[trueblue02gt]

Like he said... Flowmaster screams Mustang. But everyone and their brother has them. They came on my GT when I bought it. They sound ok. But once you hear other setups in person.. They don't sound as good to you. I really like bassani. It's the catback im getting.
