i have no mufflers on there right now im trying to figure out what i would like best. i was thinking about the 40s because they make one that fits on there pretty easily. i was thinking about glass packs but i dont know yet.

it hasn't blown a fuse lately, but sometimes at higher volumes it'll make that crackling sound i vaguely described... would this be a speaker problem, or wire problem, or what?

It may be time for some new speakers and a deck. i need something that'll control my sub/amp. I forgot to mention that it only makes the noise when certain bass/midbass frequencys are played.. never from the speaker's tweets.

sounds bad to me....if you move them with your hand and the stereo off do you hear any bad sounds?

yeah i tried that and didn't hear anything. I'm scared to buy another pair of these same speakers because if its a wiring thing, then i'll be maddddd knowing i could have got a better set of speakers :P

Do yourself a favor and don't go with the glass packs... You should be really happy with the 40's, they are pretty sweet, but dont take my word for it...

Check out the sound clips there...

glasspacks are annoying.. heh
overly loud, and they seem to be used by people who don't have enough engine to sound good on it's own.. It took me a little work to get my motor to stay nice and quiet on the roads.. and I ended up with 3" pipes off of supercomp ceramic headers with an X reducer pipe, then going through a pair of 20" superturbo mufflers..
ended up purring nicely unless I stand on the go pedal.

I'd stick with superturbos or flowmasters for that stang. a nice exhaust note is one thing.. echoing around town like an open exhaust harley is just obnoxious though, and impractical if the car is a daily driver.
Do you want to pull up to a residential house and tick off everybody for two blocks? lol

Another problem with glass packs are they wear out really fast. The flowmasters are built really tuff and last a long time, in fact they sound better with age... If you want it to be a bit quieter though you could use the delta 50 series, but original 40's are my drug of choice, especially on the 5.0 stangs.

ya ill probaly go with the 40's, on my ranchero i have glasspacks and it does sound really really good, throaty and still very bassy i also have a 460 so that would help it out too.

The big offender with a 2 chamber Flowmaster is the resonance, especially from the 40 series. Add performance goodies, especially a lumpy cam, and it'll get really nasty inside at cruising speed. Go with a Delta Flow 3 chamber 40 or a straight flowing muffler like the Walker Dynomax mufflers if you want your car quiet enough to listen to your system at reasonable levels. Or be prepared to shell out on generous amounts of sound deadening. The new Super 40s are really deep sounding and are supposed to be quieter inside than the originals. They aren't quite as throaty and aggressive as the original 40s, though.
