How about stock S197 Mustang s?  They probably flow well for stockers and if you did an off road H or X pipe, it would not be overly loud but would have a nice sound.

Your cam will also make a good bit of difference in sound, maybe go with a custom cam? <--- Maybe sounds dumb but might be worth thinking about.

Oh, I didnt see pics the first time. I had an 84 hatch that same color. My friend and I painted a white stripe over the hood/roof/hatch, and he called it the skunk turd!

Ha, just checked the top of my tool box and found these :mullet:

Custom cam is a given.  When the time comes, Ed Curtis will get another order (he did the cam in the Cougar).

Absolutely. But it would only quiet it to the lowest threshold of that ler. Lets say, for example, that its designed to hit a target decibal range of < 75db... well putting just one on with no cats you're probably not going to hit that, but put two on or a resonator and you'll get a whole lot closer, probably even make it. Certainly with three you'll hit that number but you'll never get quieter than that no matter how many you put on cause they're just designed to let a certain amount of sound through and they will keep doing so.

At least that's how I understand it....

Sweet. I read somewhere on the net about a dude that does custom grinds, can't remember the name for the life of me, think his first or last name is Allen though, I'll see if I can find it again, from what I read seemed like he knew what he was doing...may be worth looking into anyway.

 If your talking about Jay Allen, I think he went nuts.

Yep. That was the name. Went nuts? I didn't really read a whole lot about the guy, just read that he made custom cams for a few people.

I read he got caught ripping people off and disappeared :dunno:  ...  I have heard great things about Ed Curtis though.

 As far as original topic , I love notch back Fox Stangs  , I had a brand new 86 5.0
Fox-less at the moment

I'm unsure as to what exactly happened to him, but suffice to say he is on hiatus.

Just an update.  Trying to get the wheels going on a deal for the car.  Unfortunately the guy needs it gone yesterday and I don't have any extra cash until a month from now =(

I don't dip into savings for this stuff......

Anyway -- I read some stuff concerning Jay Allen.....

Quote
The above described problems only became compounded further when one of our most senior members, paid advertiser, and administrator Jay Allen of Camshaft Innovations became ill.  It has been, and continues to be so, alleged by quite a few members that they were “taken for a ride” by Mr. Allen.  They placed orders and paid money without receiving parts, or had received parts different than what was paid for.  We here at SBFTECH gave Mr. Allen the benefit of the doubt due to his longstanding association with this website and the fact that he was ill.  But the months have passed.  Mr. Allen has not logged into this site to answer the allegations for more than eight months.  His presence has been seen time and time again on other websites.  Therefore, because of all these overwhelming factors, we feel that the time for action has come.  We are therefore cutting all ties with Mr. Allen and Camshaft Innovations.  We are also treating him like any other member with like allegations levied against him.  Jay Allen will hereby be banned from SBFTECH until such time as all transactions made through the contact at this website are finalized to the mutual satisfaction of all parties akin to it.

Quite disturbing to say the least.....

Wish me luck with that particular car because it'll be hard to find another in that condition......

Oh yeah, almost forgot.  The Cougar gets the paint laid down within the next 2 weeks and we can start putting it back together and I can finally add all the other supporting parts for it as well.

Can't wait!!
