2003 Mustang GT, Which Exhaust Setup of These 2 Should I Get? Greetings everyone.
Title says it, after research and thinking I ended up with these two Headers\Mid-pipe\Catback combinations that I've fallen in love with
:
1.
BBK Long Tube Headers,
BBK O/R X-Pipe,
Magnaflow MagnaPack Catback.
2.
Mac Long Tube Headers,
Mac O/R ProChamber,
Borla Stinger S-Type Catback
Thx!

Yeah go with #1, although it will sound pretty good either way.

You stand to gain more power, with number 2 it was proven in a shoot out in MM&FF, Mike. SCT Tuner.

Number 2 but just throw a Mac Catback on, MUCH cheaper than the Borls Stingers,also a Deeper Chambered Rumble plus equal or more power!
