Tinkerbell got some new pipes :)

IMO, there is nothing worse than a stock mustang of any kind. With that being said, we have taken the first steps toward correcting this horrible condition and replaced the factory H-pipe and cat-back with a Bassani X-pipe and Dynomax Race Bullet cat-back. :)

Now she sounds like she should have from the factory. :)

Disclaimer: All pics were taken with my iPhone, so I apologize for the quality.


See the transformation below:


Factory H-pipe on the car:

Factory resonators and intermediate pipes:

Factory Axle-backs. These things are HEAVY! Weighing in @ 21lbs each!

A better view of Ford's H-pipe. This thing is pathetic to say the least:

Thank GOD for Bassani. Isn't it purty? :)

Here is the complete factory cat-back system. I am amazed that with all the R&D that went into this engine, that they would use varying diameters throughout the factory system:

And here is the cure for the inept factory setup. Bassani's X-pipe and DYNOMAX's Race Bullet Cat-back - a full 3" now front to back:

No more resonators:

Finally some tips worthy of looking at:

Here is a before and after video, again taken with my iPhone. She sounds very impressive now, but the video does not do this sound justice.

I agree, looks much better, and I'm sure the sound is great!

Very nice! Love the bassani...

[1low03gt]

Quite the difference!Bassani makes quality stuff.
On a side note,Ford has definitely improved there stock set up over time,you should see the exhaust size,bends,and crimps in the earlier years before '05 LOL!Not very good at all.

[SlvrStang99]

Awesome! Need vid :)

[oxman]

Very nice!! New exhaust days are always the best!
