Muscle Car sound

Ok after upgrading my rims on my 2005 mustang v6, im ready to beef up the exhaust system. Ive been looking around the forums and on youtube both but i cannot find an exhaust brand many people can agree on. I want my V6 if possible to sound like the old muscle cars taking off, now grant it is a V6 but i want as beefy and deep sound as possible. I DO NOT WANT A RICER SOUND! If anyone has some suggestions that would be great. Thanks guys!

Keep it stock or get a gt take off system which you can put any gt axle backs on. And even then most say they still sound pretty v6. There is no replacement for displacement. :bigthumbsup

Muckerpuck is right. No matter what you do, it won't sound like an 8. I've listened to many YouTube videos and have concluded they just sound annoying/raspy at much above idle. I've heard a Flowmaster in person and it didn't do much for me ( which is not to say they don't make good stuff ; I put Flowmasters on my '93 5.0 and LOVED it ).
The choice is personal so do what you want ; ask 5 people, you will get 5 different opinions ; for the time being, I'm leaving mine as it came.

The best way to get a deeper rumbling sound is with a mid-muffler. That's true for the V8 or V6. I've got glasspacks attached right to my x-pipe it rumbles at idle and sounds pretty good going down the road. I just need to get some pipes fabbed out the back and it should be sweet. It vibrates the cabin on acceleration now, but that's because its open right under the cabin.

my car sounds good for a v6, not loud, just good. 2 1/2" jba stainless h pipe and over axles and gt takeoffs. also have stainless shortys. you cant get the jba h pipe kit anymore, they still sell it but only with a set of jba mufflers ( suppose to sound pretty good) $750. i had a 67stang, heavily built v8, my 4.0 can never be that. i accepted that a long time ago.

with the 4.0, it is what it is. its never gonna be a muscle car, speed or sound. it is a great handling, good looking, ok running ford mustang that you can still like and be proud of it gets compliments daily and no one really cares what it has in it.

put it this way... I do autocross once a month, on a big track..one mile!!! I am a part of the porsche car club of Sacramento (in a mustang.......). My car sounds AMAZING...LOOKS AMAZING...and i'm a VERY VERY QUALIFIED driver...yet my times are in the lower 1/3rd of the pack....it will never be a track machine...but it looks great, slides easy...(slowest way around the track.....and not very cooth)..sounds amazing...all while going slow..
