Finally progress, what exhaust would you recomend
I finally made some progress, got the drive train in. I would like any information on who sells the best exhaust kit. LMC? I would like to know how to support this sight, I tried the other day but it didn't work. Thanks for any info. Philip |

Re: Finally progress, what exhaust would you recomend
Nice looking project you have there. The garage is awesome. Not ready for exhaust yet but thinking about Flowmasters 40 Series.

Re: Finally progress, what exhaust would you recomend
Well since you asked about a kit, I will say that the Magnaflow kit with the "X" pipe and polished mufflers is really nice, sounds great, and installs pretty easily.
LMC carries it, but it is a little pricey. Of course it's completely stainless. Nice looking truck by the way, and welcome to the board. Pete |

Re: Finally progress, what exhaust would you recomend
Nice looking motor by the way...I just finished my setup and I went with Hooker full length headers, and flowmaster 40 series mufflers and also had the exhaust shop install an H pipe as well...

Re: Finally progress, what exhaust would you recomend
I have sanderson ceramic coated headders and the Magnaflow kit Shock_Me mentioned. Very happy with fit and looks, haven't heard it run yet. One note: the supplied pipes in the magnaflow kit can not be turned to fit my manifolds. To avoid cutting up the pipes and rewelding them I am having some new ones bent up in stainless to join the headders to the exhaust pipe.

Re: Finally progress, what exhaust would you recomend
Im running long Hooker Headers w/ 2.5" collectors to 2.5" exhuast. All this to (2) 29" L Cherry Bomb glass packs and it gives a great vintage sound. I just added an H-Pipe, but it changed the sound, yet did good things on the performace end. All I can suggest is to stay at 2.5" or below for the exhuast, anything more may not create enough backpressure for your 350 and you will loss a little power. Hope this helps!
Very nice truck! I cant wait to see the end product!

Re: Finally progress, what exhaust would you recomend
Hooker heads and Hooker Aerochamber mufflers, there is some sound clips on holley's website on a new mustang, sounds sick, stay with 2.5'' pipe too unless thats one heck of a sleeper motor that makes 500+ hp. Its not that 3'' doesn't provides backpressure and 2.5" does, 3" doesn't maintain enough velocity to help pull on the exhaust pulses. They myth that back pressure is needed is not true.
