    The mav is gone but i'm still here!
    what are some good mufflers for a 95 Tbird LX with a 4.6L SOHC

    i want something that will improve power/economy but i don't want a loud ass car neither.



    I have a pair of 40-Series Flowmasters on my mav that are a direct fit for the Tbird but i think they will be too loud.


    thanks

    The 97 F-150 we had with the 4.6 sounded realy good with 40 series flowmasters on it.

    Not overly loud at idle and didn't get obnoxious at all w/ higher RPM

    you sound like you would really like a set of 2-1/2" BORLA PRO XS.

    I have had some experience with them. Stainless construction. straight through design. surprisingly quiet for a muffler you can look straight through. Less than $100 each. Great performance, quiet but deep.

    I have Dynomax Ultraflo's on my Maverick. They sound somewhere between the pro xs and a 2 chamber flowmaster.

    i like borlas but they're a bit out of my price range, i can get flowmasters and magnaflows for $20

    but i think i'll go turbo route, my uncle put a cherry bomb Turbo II muffler on his falcon and it sounded good.I got a clip and i'll post it up for you 6-CYL guys.

    Watch ebay for new Mustang muffler take-offs. Muffler shop has to weld new pipe going in, but a great sounding muffler!

    Don't gut the cats if you run Flows.The 4.6 w/the mufflers all the way at the back w/o cats is very raspy,not good sounding at all.Keep the cats or go w/something like a Magnaflow or Dynomax.
