System isnt quite done yet, the tip showed up about an hour ago and my exhaust was installed at 8am this morning. So ill go back monday and get the tip installed. Its a Magnaflow 4in..i went with a straight edge tip instead of the rolled edge. The vid was taken with a Kodak DIGITAL CAMERA so excuse the crappy quality.

Its not as loud as i thought it would be but maybe once the muffler breaks in it should get slightly louder. And before anyone says anything..yes mufflers have a break in period..some disagree but after having 10 stangs with every kind of muffler there is...they gotta break in lol.

Oh well heres vids and ill post pics when the tip is on. Ill also give it a week or two and see if the sound changes at all..if it does i will repost pics. My commute is REALLY short so it wont get very hot on my way to and from work.

Grrrrrr.....work is blocking YouTube. I'll listen when I get home.

And yes, mufflers do take time to break in. My Mac's did after a few heat cycles on my Stang :)

Can't wait to listen!

There is ZERO drone at all. I was actually surprised at so. It has deepened up a bit and i got the 4in Magnaflow tip on. Ill try and get some pics first of the week once its cleaned up and maybe another vid. Its really not that loud at all...but sounds deep and throaty enough to know its there.

Also if anyone wants to do this...I DID NOT BUY THE MAC CATBACK. I purchased the 3in offset in/3in offset out stainless steel muffler and had a 3in tailpipe bent and welded up. The muffler cost me like 95..and the tip 50...the tailpipe and work 100. The mac catback lists for 279 i think..and it doesnt have the stainless steel muffler and tip like i have.

I had everything welded up by a local muffler shop that does great work for a great price. The stock exhaust was 3in inlet muffler into a dual 2.5in ext..in to a y pipe that went to a 2.5in exhaust pipe...HORRIBLE design if you ask me. So i had them cut the muffler off..weld in the 3in inlet/3in exit muffler and bend me up a new 3in tailpipe. I have the Magnaflow tip on now ill get pics and another vid here this afternoon.
