This car, with this exhaust note, brings me joy every time I get behind the wheel.:bandit:

Why "secret" mufflers? Are you ashamed to say you put glasspacks on it? Don't be, I've thought about doing mine that way.

:tigger: Magna flow or flowmaster would sounded much better ---
remember is not about how loud u go is how mean your car sound

[babbage]

Sounds pretty good. Inside though: a rev in neutral is a lot different than cruising along in 4th gear.

What did you use for mufflers?

[Glenn]

Well - very interesting audio = it sounds nearly the same as my MM with Cobra Shorties and X-pipe, OEM mufflers, tail pipe and tips.

Note that the OEM H pipe and CATS are very restrictive and there are 4 of them. When you install a hi-flow X-pipe with 2 hi-flow CATs and delete the rear two CATS if greatly increases the sound and does add power. A good hi-flow X-pipe with two hi-flow CATS is the key critical component to a good exhaust system.

i dnt care for glasspacks...just my opinion....
there r loud az hell but i dnt like how there backpressure sounds.

[RR|Suki]

not terrible

[ImpalaSlayer]

definitely sounds like glass packs. sounds very similar to my truck

[MrBluGruv]

definately not glasspacks. Unfortunately the lack of deep rumble I think stems from the fact that my camera captures no bass. :( I didn't want to correct that with audio software cause I think that would flavour the sound of it in different ways that I don't want.

I've been really selfish about sharing which brand of muffler I've used, mostly cause I love the sound I've achieved and I kinda get bothered at the idea of others having it (hence, the selfish part), but I guess I don't mind sharing it here too much among mercury brethren: the brand is called Wicked Flow. I was turned onto them by the guy at my local exhaust shop, they were new to him and he put them on his dodge truck. Sounded REALLY good, sounded more sophisticated (for lack of a better word) than a glasspack or certain flowmaster exhausts. Don't get me wrong, I love pretty much any type of exhaust you can show me that's been done with serious thought, but flowmasters show up on almost EVERYTHING with a V8 down here in south texas. Anyways, when I only had one set of cats out, it sounded real smooth but authoritative, now with no cats it absolutely screams at WOT.

Next vid I do will most likely by with a different camera and with more demo shots, like pass-bys and launches from a stop and from a roll weith the perspective in a chase car.



BTW, good luck finding wicked flows anywhere, I've seen a few of them on the net but not many, and almost NO ONE knows about them. Sad part though is most that do are imports. :(
