2003 Mustang questions - Catted X Pipes, who's best? and a chin spoiler question

Drunk Skunk · 06-29-2009

I've decided to put a catted X pipe on my '03 GT. I'm looking for some feedback on Pypes Vs. Magnaflow Vs. Bassani. I don't want unbearably loud, but I do want a good healthy sound. Right now, I have Flowmaster 40 series mufflers on.

Also, I'm about to install a Mach 1 chin spoiler on the ride. Is it worth it to get hardware for it? IE - Nuts, bolts, and washers rather than the plastic push-clips.

I run a Bassani Catted X and love it. I also have Bassani catback and BBK headers, so its a bit louder, but I love it!

Chin Spoiler, I did mine with just the push pins. Worked excellent, and have NO issues. About once a month I will just run my finger along the underside of it to make sure Im not missing any, if I am, Ill just push one up in there.

I have a catless Bassani on mine but my friend at a Bassai catted X pipe on his 04 GT and it sounded pretty good.

I didn't care for the pypes catted x because it hung down so low, I sold it and cut my factory pipe and left the 2 fwd cat on and added a pypes o/r pipe to factory cats, no cel and louder and smoother and I tucked the pipe as high as I could and ground clearance is great, you will never scrape another speedbump or driveway. GL on your endeavor.

I have the UPR catted x-pipe. It fit perfect and rided a bit higher than alot of the other brands. It sounds nice and even gave me alittle seat of the pants improvement.
