Back in Late August I contacted SLP in regards to their upcoming release of their Loud Mouth Exhaust for the Ford Mustangs. At that time I had talked to a Don who work in tech support at SLPONLINE.COM. During the conversation with Don he could not confirm at the time if their Kit P/N:M31000 would fit my '95 Cobra. He offered to get back with me once he confirmed that it would and before he would place my order, as at the time the kits were not manufactured yet. SLP was shooting for a November 1st release date. I agreed and gave Don my information to have on file once everything was ready.
Fast forward to Late Sept I receive a call from Don confirming that their Kit # M31000 will work with my application. I gave Don the go ahead to proceed with my order. He confirmed it would be about two to three weeks before I would see my order and I told him prefect just in time for my road trip to Vegas for SEMA. He was surprise I had mentioned this and I told him that I owned a performance parts company and was heading out there for my annual vacation. He told me that I would love the sound of the system as I was driving through the desert. :-D
The kit arrives at my door as promised and I could hardly wait to open it up.
Old Mufflers and tips.
The Install
For the install I paid a visit to a friend who owns a shop in Milpitas, CA, GNJ Motorsports (408) 945-1900. The install was pretty straight forward once we got the car on the lift and let it cool down for a about 45 minutes. (We took a KFC break during this period :-D ) We broke out a Milwaukee Sawsall to cut the stock tailpipes from the stock mufflers.
The next step was to unbolt the stock intermediate tubes/mufflers from the H-pipe and Hanger bolts. Once they were out of the way we proceeded to unbolt the hangers for the stock tailpipes and then removed them. Now came the fun part installing the SLP Loud Mouth Exhaust System. We loosely fitted the intermediate/Over axle Pipe to the H-Pipe. The next step was to take the new Exhaust hanger brackets that SLP supplied with our kit and bolt them in place. The next step then was the install of the tailpipes and last the 3.5" Hand polished tailpipe tips.
Authors comment:If your thinking about getting this exhaust for your ride and your running a 315 series tires for the rear you may want to rethink this, with my 275 series I had about 3/8” space between the tire and the tailpipe. This could be resolved by taking an air hammer to the tailpipe but why would you do this to a brand new exhaust system.
Here a few pictures of the system installed.

First impressions
Right after my friend and I got done with the install, I set out on a planned long road test so to speak. A friend from my local Ford club met another friend and I at GNJ Motorsports. Our destination was Sacramento Raceway park to meet up with some other friends from our club for the last Grudge Fest for the year.
I’ve ridden in and driven cars equipped with Flowmasters, Bassani, Flowtech but compaired to this Loud Mouth exhaust I can’t say they came close. Not only does this system live up to it's name it's also less restrictive. What I mean by this is at WOT the RPM climb easier and faster then when it was stock. A comment made by my friend that convoyed with me up to Sacramento was “That Exhaust system sounds good on the Highway” Keep in mind my friend was driving his ‘2000 Stage 2 Roush convertible with the top down the whole way. Over all I’m happy with this purchase and I’m looking forward to blasting my way down to I5>CA46>CA99>CA58>I15 for my Vegas trip to attend SEMA and meet up with some friends.
Before & After Dyno results be posted once I can find an open date to get onto the rollers.
