Aggressive exhaust systems for American muscle cars. Mustang, Camaro, Challenger, Charger, and classic muscle. Get that iconic V8 rumble and performance.
Flowmaster Super 44 and Borla ATAK provide aggressive, loud muscle car tone. For refined power sound, Borla S-Type or Corsa Sport balance performance and civility. Chambered mufflers create that classic muscle rumble, while straight-through designs offer modern performance sound.
Headers vs cat-back: which should I buy first?
Start with cat-back exhaust for immediate sound improvement and easier installation. Add headers later for additional gains. Cat-back provides 60% of total exhaust gains without tuning requirements. Headers maximize performance but need tuning and professional installation.
Will exhaust increase horsepower on my V8?
Quality cat-back systems add 10-20 HP on naturally aspirated V8s. Headers add another 15-25 HP. Forced induction engines see larger gains. Combined with cold air intake and tune, expect 40-60 HP total. Gains increase with higher-performance engines.
X-pipe vs H-pipe: which sounds better?
X-pipes produce more aggressive, high-pitched raspy tone with slightly better high-RPM power. H-pipes create deeper, more traditional muscle car rumble with better low-end torque. Both improve scavenging over no crossover. Choose based on preferred sound character.
