    Mac cat back and o/r h pipe

    Does anyone know how a Mac cat back exhaust and a Mac o/r h pipe would sound together on a 96 mustang gt? im looking for a nice and loud raspy sound!

    If you are looking for something raspy, you might want to consider an X pipe. I ran one with a Mac catback on the stock 302 in my car, and I loved how it sounded. An h pipe will give you a deeper musclecar type sound.

    You want raspy use an x-pipe but I don't think a baffled muffler should use an X. MAC cat-back and offroad H will sound good. I'm a big fan of MAC catbacks with their sound.

    Thumbs up

    Ive had both setups with the x and the h. I liked the H But imo it wasnt as loud(in a good way,not just saying heyyy look at me lol). With the X it seemed to be a higher pitch and also the crackle/bubble upon slowing etc. Either way they both sound great and offer diffrent sounds. Needless to say im back to the X.
