Coaster Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Freaked out my neighbor earlier. Had the car sitting like this without the jack under it. http://i.imgur.com/0n1xc7el.jpg I've only met him a couple times, he drove past and thought the cat litter buckets were holding up the car and was concerned for my safety. I was really just using them to keep the knuckles out of the way while I put the control arms back on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Brian Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 I will bet it is perfect on stock manifolds. The Mustang's stock manifolds are nothing like the archaic blobs of cast iron slapped on the LS3 though; They resemble shorty headers. Not sure what point I'm trying to make here except they weren't very loud to me, or at least didn't bother me while driving/cruising.

Dr. Apex Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 I'm doing an X pipe only, cheap ($84 shipped LOL), and sounds good/no drone. This is by far the least expensive option and I've heard one in person, pretty quiet still but not graveyard quiet like stock. I just figure if I'm going to do it, just go ahead and get the full thing and take the slight weight savings as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 This is by far the least expensive option and I've heard one in person, pretty quiet still but not graveyard quiet like stock. This is exactly what I'm looking for. Just a bit more volume all around, but no drone. This car begs for mods, so $650-1k on an exhaust will be rerouted to Konis at some point.

I want to upgrade mine so it emits a bit more tone but the damn prices for them is 2-3x yours and they yield zero power gain. Mustangs sound amazing.

SpaceGhost Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Then you nailed it!!! What swung it for me was, I listened to them with my Bose SoundLink Mini Bluetooth speaker connected to my phone. Then I could hear the race was a much lower pitch than the street, which is what I was really after. If I hate it, I'll remove it and sell here or Mustang6g.com. I think I'm gonna like it, all my cars have been pretty quiet in the past. Looking forward to how this sounds with the top down. :fuckyeah: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseyctsv Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 I'm making over 700HP through those "blobs" that you are referring to. Yeah I have always understood that the LS manifolds are really good for a stock piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 What are your resonator removal options? None that sound good. Just gets louder inside but not much outside. AWE Touring is a nice set up as is the Milltek but both are $1,500-$2k. Crazy IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Brian Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) I'm making over 700HP through those "blobs" that you are referring to. I was talking about noise levels, not power, but I bet you'd make more if your manifolds resembled stock coyote ones. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160229/7fb7d230b3dd203f4b24913d8ff958cd.jpg God dammit Brian, ordered the "Race" Call me a pussy, challenge accepted.

Coaster Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Some pics from yesterday. A couple more things to torque and the car will be rolling again.

99StockGT Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Congrats on all the progress, definitely looking forward to seeing it all come together. Hopefully all went smoothly with the arms now that the new bushings are in, definitely let us know anything else you may need help with. MBRP definitely a great way to go on any of the modern Fords, we sell them on trucks and mustangs very very often. Great sound especially for the price.

Coaster Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 OK got it all back together and put about 50 miles on it this evening. It all seems good, worst roads I could find and no weird noises. Didn't really thrash the cornering because it so out of alignment. I have a little driveline clunk on throttle down that I think is probably just drive shaft slack. Considering there is almost no rubber left in the rear end I'm happy if that and a tiny bit more gear whine is the worst. The most shocking improvement so far was how immediate power delivery is now. I can't wait to see how my 60ft times improved. Hopefully it will get in to be aligned early next week then I'll really start beating on it.
