I have been looking at all the different exaust systems...Is a resonator system instead of a muffler system the way to go for that nice race engine sound? Please if anyone has had both or heard both let me know which sounds better and would give better performance. I was looking at the SLP Performance Loud-Mouth Cat-Back if I go muffler it would probably be a Magnaflow or Flowmaster.

Thanks,

If you go with Magnaflow use the Magnapacks mufflers. They are a straight thru muffler like the SLP kits. Either one will give you the race car sound that you want.

Are you planning on gaining any performance out of this or are you wanting it solely for sound? One thing you must consider is the mid-pipe. From the factory, 'Stangs come with H-pipes. H-pipes are good for that deep "muscular" sound (along with a slight improvement of low-end power over an X-pipe). Sure, with some resonators, you will get some of that race-car sound you are looking for, but you won't acheive its full potential unless you get yourself an X-pipe. X-pipes are good for more of a race-car sound (along with a slight improvement of top-end power over an H-pipe).
What are your intentions with the car? A daily driver with some noise to it? Or a car to kick some serious ass?
An H-pipe is what you need if you are going to be doing some slight modding and just want that signature 'Stang sound.
An X-pipe is what you need if you are planning some serious mods in the future since it will result in the most power out of the two. And an X-pipe will give you that race-car sound too.

Now that I've gotten that out of the way. Muffler vs. Resonator:

I am guessing when you say "muffler" you are referring to something with chambers to it? And a resonator being something with a straight-through design where you can look through one end and see whatever it is on the other side without and obstruction? In that case, a resonator will give you a "race-car" sound. Race cars do try and get the most free-flowing exhaust right?

Hope that sheds some type of light on the subject...

Yeah magnas are pretty good.

hmmm... i think he probably has it taken care of now considering this thread is like a year old....
