Hi guys,

I'm looking for some help with a cat-back exhaust selection.

1. My current set-up (in sig) sounds very mild (no balls) to me. I'm looking for something that will sound like it has some balls at idle and when I get on it, but not real loud cruising around town, oh and no drone.

2.Can I buy an LX type cat-back and just get the longer hangers? Does this look right when done?

3. What h.p. do you think I will gain with the change?

I have the stock cat-back on at this time.

P.S. I did search and read-up on the info but some of it was a few years old.

Thanks,
Neil

You can either modify the hangers on a LX system, or some guys used different rubber mounts that are longer to make it work.

As far as what system, it's all personal preference. If your looking for something a little different, try a x-pipe.

1. Flowmaster American Thunder Catback is the classic.
2. There are no exhausts that are made specifically for the '93 Cobra that I am aware of. I made a custom hanger extension. Best bet is to cut the hangers off of the old cat-back and weld it to the new one. If you don't do anything with the hangers you WILL ruin the rear bumper cover.
3. No much..

I am running BBK equal length shorties, Bassani x-pipe, and Flowmaster C/B. I like the sound.

slp lm1 catback is the best sounding (agressive) exhaust for a 5.0. First vid is n/a with mac longtubes, catted H, and the slps.

and this is the video of the exhaust after turbo setup.

My favorite muffler on any 5.0 engine is the spintech. The have a very unique sound! I loved them on mine....I'm actually thinking about trying them out on the cobra here soon.

I liked my Borla Pro-XS/X-pipe combo I had on mine. They don't sound that well with longtubes in my opinion though.
