Need an H pipe!

[PB Marauder]

I want to install an H pipe on my 03 MM. I looked on the web for one and can't find one specific to the MM. I've come across a few that say "universal" but I don't know much about the mechanics of our system to make a purchase without consulting the Forum. Any information to help me achieve my goal of a mean exhaust system including a H pipe would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

No one makes an H pipe or the MM. A Mustang one can be modified to fit.

1st off :welcome: :banana2:

Second, what is on there now?

[PB Marauder]

Thanks for the welcome! I've wanted a marauder since I was 16 (when they came out) and I FINALLY got one a few months ago. Black 2003 with 67k. It's my dream car. I am very excited to slowly mod it up. The car is all stock right now except a K&N CAI. I'm excited to do a full header/exhaust set up (including an h pipe). I've already decided on the SW headers but, because they don't supply a full system with H pipe, I'm going to find the H separately and keep the rest out the back stock. Unless anyone else has any suggestions. I'd love to hear. Thank you for your help.

isn't the factory pipe an H pipe?

I believe so, I think he wants it up sized though. That's why I asked what he had, I thought maybe someone jacked the exhaust and he was after a stock H.

You should throw the headers on with the stock H and re evaluate your decision. I think you'll be quite impressed with nothing else done.

Ok thanks. I actually was reading a post from someone on the forum who did just that. Headers and kept the rest stock. It sounded good. I think I will try that. Should I also take off the rear cats and resonators? And if I do this, it would only increase the sound? I'm looking for the old school muscle car sound. Not keen on the x pipe sound. IMO.

These are modular motors and with rare exception (justbob, in this case) they dont really have the old school v8 rumble like a big block makes. justbob has cams and numerous other supporting mods and his sounds like that, but generally it's a different sound these types of motors make than the old schol rumble IMO. They still sound good though, rear cat delete and resonator delete adds more tone

[camelgrundle]

Delete those rear cats and see if you like the sound. I love the sound of my car and all I have is rear cat delete and flow master 44's

These are modular motors ... they dont really have the old school v8 rumble like a big block makes. ... generally it's a different sound these types of motors make than the old schol rumble This.

Having a DOHC engine coupled with a really long exhaust system makes them kinda high-pitched. My '68 Buick GranSport sounds way more badass than my Marauder, but the MM will walk all over the Buick.

Having said that, an H-pipe will definitely sound better than an X.

Thanks the help guys. Much appreciated.
