2010 Grabber Blue Shelby Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Guys, I have the AR headers with hi-flow cats on my 2010 and thru the stock mufflers the sound is too raspy and loud for me. I like the stock throaty sound and wonder if anyone has the headers and cats on their car, what mufflers are you using to get back to more of a factory note. Mine sounds like glass packs with the stock mufflers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whotrod9 Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 I replaced my stock mufflers with the KR Mufflers. I purchased them from the Shelby Store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombeast Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 I wound up modifiying a Bassani 3" system with Bassani high flow catted adapters, their x, some welded in and shortened SLP resonators just after the X, and their race axle backs. I love the sound and I'm not changing anything. Only decent vid so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gr8snkbite Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 +1 that's what I'm running but on the Kooks system Don't go with K/R's they sound terrible with L/T's no plans to go KR's. I did however contact them (Corsa) yesterday about new ones for the 11'. Got a call from Jim, he asked if they could use my car for a test mule to R&D for the 11's. Wish i could. No time to make it to Cleveland.... Would have gotten a free set. So if anyone with an 11 wants Corsa, contact them. They need a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine sounds like glass packs with the stock mufflers. I have the AR headers and high flows also. As mentioned above, do not put on KR's ....way too loud. I listened to quite a few cars with headers and went with the SVT1's. Deep sound....not too loud except under WOT....and no drone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the stock throaty sound and wonder if anyone has the headers and cats on their car, what mufflers are you using to get back to more of a factory note. Mine sounds like glass packs with the stock mufflers. Had this set-up on a pair of KR axle-backs and found it to be way too loud. I have since reduced my mid-pipes and axle-back from 3" to 2.5" (just after the high-flow AR cats) with a Magnaflow cat-back system. I love the sound; no drone period and WOT sounds oh so awesome, without being crazy loud. BORG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the stock throaty sound and wonder if anyone has the headers and cats on their car, what mufflers are you using to get back to more of a factory note. Mine sounds like glass packs with the stock mufflers. I had FRPP SGT5's with my ARM (Cats) and they were WAY TOO LOUD and RASPY. I threw a set of Borla Touring/FRPP SVT1's and absolutely LOVE THEM! They sound mellow and deep until I hit 3,500 rpms. At 3,500 they are loud but not raspy at all. Shitty vid but you'll get the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same setup except my setup doesn't have the catted x-pipe, but it sounds awesome! Magnaflow 2.5" system with their 9x14 polished mufflers with 4 inch tips.

Pat kelly Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 I have ARH longtubes with catted h pipe and bassani axle back . Sound is perfect while cruising but makes raspy sound when shifting. I am debating on switching to magnaflow, just dont know if I should go with magnapack mufflers or the standard muffler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vapor08GT500 Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Sounds good. How do you make your mufflers (i.e. do you own a shop or just modding another muffler)? Yes, I own a Mustang Shop. These mufflers are made by MAC for me with a different baffle design and an extra baffle too. They are only available through me. They are 2.5" inlet, fully polished 409 stainless steel, tig welded, and polished 4" rolled tips. I sell them for $599 shipped anywhere in the lower 48 states.

Sound is perfect while cruising but makes raspy sound when shifting. I am debating on switching to magnaflow, just dont know if I should go with magnapack mufflers or the standard muffler Had a little raspiness with my Bassani set-up too. I welded in these 3" SLP resonators just after the x-pipe. They worked great and alot cheaper than new mufflers. I had to shorten them a bit to fit with the Bassani X, but you might be OK with the ARH H-pipe. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SLE-31066/ If you have the stock 2.5", you can try these. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SLE-31062/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vapor08GT500 Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Your welcome Jim. At the bottom of my signature is a link to the build of my entire 10 GT500 with pictures of everything being installed. The mufflers on mine were the prototypes, so they were not polished, all production mufflers are fully polished and are sold for $599 shipped anywhere in the lower 48 states.

zporta Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 I have corsa a backs with a custom h w/ magnaflow cats. The h made the setup deeper but the high flow cats made it louder and raspy. I was told to add dynamax race bullets and weld them in to act as a resonator and clean up the sound. if the corsas still don't sound right after having these welded in then I will try magnaflows or the custom mms muffler Here is are two videos of corsa sport axle backs and the custom h with high flow magnaflow cats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
