Yesterday my new exhaust system was installed. It was the SCP fabricated 2.5-3-2.5 system w/ Magnaflow cats, Magnaflow Resonator, and Flowmaster 40 series mufflers on stock manifolds. I was ready to buy the Kooks midlength headers buy at the last second I opted to hold off on them. In doing research, I see people running 360rwhp on stock manifolds and I'm now where near that. So for now I can use that money on other, more needed mods.
Half way through the install I went to see how things were going at The Muffler Shop. He first told me I got ripped off. He showed me 3 places where the pipes were hitting the undercarraige and the mufflers wouldn't fit either. He had to keep the car another day and he did some cutting and welding and did a phenominal job in installing it! I am very impressed.
The system is very good. I guess when your building it to ship without the car to fit it on, things might not be perfect. But Travis at The Muffler Shop came through.
The sound it great! At idle the exhuast note is low and a bit rumbling (which is good) It had a noticable volume, but not overly loud. And when stepping on it, it does not pop or get ricey. It is a solid gradual raise it pitch.
It's not my dads '88 Mustang or my brothers '88 bird or my other brothers '95 cobra, or my moms '95 V8 T-bird for that matter. I like that. Two thumbs up
This weekend I am gonna finally install my 10% overdrive SC pulley and 3:55 gears.
So far I have ported/Polished heads, completely rebuild engine 3K miles ago, Port matched t-body, plenum, ported lower intake, and ported manifolds, removed air silencer (woo-hoo), removed a/c system, and now, new exhuast system. My hp/tq is slowly climbing...in due time.
Does anyone have any guess as to the hp/tq I might have now?
Thanks, just wanted to share
