Well, I can't argue with that, after all this is my thread...

Good idea, but I'm too lazy to do that...

I don't think it sounds too high-pitched here...

It's _MY_ thread. I just granted you the permission to start another piece of it in my absence.

I can listen to online recordings all day long, but I know what I hear when driving down the road. A stock Mustang 4.6L sounds high pitched to me. Rip out that Ford noise-limiting EPA/DOT-approved garbage, install a compatible Borla cat-back system, and enjoy the sound of a quality exhaust.

There just isn't a sound on Earth that can replicate a small block 350 with a tuned exhaust. Just isn't.

Oh mighty inflated ego mod Whir... I shrivel in the light of your powers...

**Whir** · April 25th, 2005, 08:42 PM

Good. Please continue to do so until futher instructed.

I am more inline with a 454, hooker headers, and dual 3.5" glass packs. If I am driving a purebred American muscle car, I want everyone to know it.

**Whir** · April 25th, 2005, 08:44 PM

Still the issue of sounding good versus being obnoxious.

Oooooooh yeah!

**The Real Bingo** · April 25th, 2005, 08:45 PM

I love the sound of the good ole 427 Shelby Cobras.

Which reminds me, my dad has a 454 in his tow truck with just straight pipes...louuuuud...lol.

Agreed. The Shelby 427 was a good sounding Mustang, even with the base exhaust package. Still, I lean more to GM for performance engines.

One of the best setups I have heard is by brother's '55 Ford custom truck (chopped, channeled, fiberglass, etc.) with a fully built Chevy 350 with headers pulled back into two Thrush 3" mufflers. Shakes the ground.... well, it did when it was last running. It has been collecting dust for the past ten years. :/

Well then you're in luck. Check out the 81 I picked up last month to restore.

Nah, not the Mustangs - the Cobras. The roadsters.

Nice

If purchased, I have no intentions of restoring this local 1981 Camaro. It has already been set on the path of being a street rod, so I will continue in that vane. To actually restore it would cost more than the car will ever be worth.
