I'm pretty sure I know what my next project car is..... May 12, 2011, 10:21:40 AM With the Cougar coming together and the plans in place to put the Mustang DEEP into the low 11's I have a lot on my plate car wise. By this time next year I'll be done though. Next: 79-81 4 eye Mustang........I have my eye on one. Manual EVERYTHING. Racing seats already swapped in. Some surface rust on the trunk and passenger door, but other than that - clean. The goal with this car is really not what it'll look like. It's brown and faded. I actually want to keep it that way. The plan:351 based motor, fuel injection, single turbo (76 or 88 mm), auto trans (can't decide between a C-6 w/ a Gear Vendor O/D or just build up an AOD), 4.10's(perhaps 4.30's), 28 inch tall tire, cage, subframes, battle boxes.....you get the picture.I have 2 inquiries....1. I want THE QUIETEST EXHAUST POSSIBLE. Stock quiet if I can manage it. Any input on a good flowing and Quiet ler from those with firsthand accounts would be welcome.2. The steering wheel and column are direct swap overs from Fairmonts and box Catbirds, correct? Quote Selected

Reply #9 – May 12, 2011, 05:09:14 PM I'll put a third vote in for magnaflow cause thats what I've got on my Ranger which I wanted to stay quiet. Its not so much the brand as the style and size that matter though.Get the LARGEST case you can possibly fit under the car. The ler on my Ranger is 3" straight thru w/a 22" long case. Dead silent even at full spool and load. Quote Selected

I just use cheapo Summit s and the TR7 was too quiet. I went from an 18" resonator and a ler to just a resonator. I'm using the ler on the 'bird.Of course a turbo is a ler in itself. Quote Selected
