I currently have Ford Racing shorty headers and Flowmaster mufflers (not sure which one, probably 40s) and chrome exhaust tips.
I want something that is louder (but not crazy loud like SLP loudmouth), with a deep throaty sound. Being in California I do have a few restrictions though, I need to keep my cats and o2 sensors.
If possible, I would like an exhaust system that hangs a bit higher to give me more ground clearance so that I can lower my car a bit.
I am wondering what would be the best bang for buck?
Would swapping the stock H pipe with an aftermarket H pipe make any difference? (I guess the X pipe might, but don't they sound a bit raspy?)
Should I just buy catback? Or possibly even just the mufflers?
Right now, I was thinking about that one:
American Thunder cat-back exhaust from Flowmaster $380 (with no tips, since I can probably re-use mine since I don't think there much to gain from switching tips other than look and I like the way they look already )
Or possibly the Bassani Aft-cat exhaust system (aluminized) $565 (not sure if worth the extra cost tho)
EDIT: I have 96 convertible that is N/A. FR shorty, CAI, 3.55gears. Griggs racing 40 street kit (which might be a problem with fitment of a new exhaust).
