Now I understand there is a Flowmaster system that fits, but I don't want it to be too loud.
Anybody had experience with these? Please help me make a decision.

TIM ,

First of all I would like to welcome you to M&M , the best mustang site on the net. You won,t find better. I have a 65 fastback 289 4V , just had a custom exhaust put on a little while back , using my stock exhaust manifolds. Went with 2.5" front to back , with terminator mufflers , low throaty rumblly (spelling?) pitch to them. I personally do not like the sound of flowmasters. Seems everybody and their grandmothers have them , all the cars sound the same. Even by bringing the exhaust system over the rear axle it did not really hurt the flow at all , especially for a street car. I have sent you an email with photos of my exhaust syatem. Hope this helps you out. You will get more responses from others on this site , that have more knowledge than I do. All I know is my system works and sounds great.

JOHN
Forgot to mention I also went with the H-pipe.
