Oh another good one - stainless works. They market directly a "old school muscle car sound" just for the mustang. Pricy though. Also works with active exhaust setups.

Nope.With your axle back, does that mean you don't have the active exhaust in yours?
If a person is automatic I'd stray them away from the magnaflow comp's.Keep in mind a lower tone will also lend itself to drone......By far the deepest sounding exhaust out there is the MagnaFlow Comp catback. But the drone with that system is massive.
Agreed, I don't like drone either! Back in the day I test drove a WRX with an aftermarket pipe set up and engine braking down hill my ears were literally ringing afterwards. Suffice it to say, that was one test drive I was happy to finish asap!In my experience the deep "muscle car" sound is due to high exhaust pressue from high compression engines of yesterday because they didn't have the catalytic restriction and the valve control our DOHC, computer controlled cam timing have. So, it is difficult to get the big block sound of late 60s when the exhaust pipe pressure was like a leaf blower at idle.
That said, and this is probably a bit too costly, the PD supercharger which forces more air into the system with Active Exhaust sounds so good it is unbelieveable stock (except for the blower).
Please keep us informed with thatever route you choose. I have had Solo, Ford Racing and they were all too loud for my old ears. Absolutely cannnot stand drone.
The impression I'm getting is that this is probably the best route to go, especially to keep the active exhaust intact, and without spending over the top money. I also live in an apartment building so can't do any involved work on the car due to the nature of a basement carpark.I'm in the same boat. I'm going to go with an H-pipe and leave the stock active exhaust alone. Cheapest option.
Completely off topic but totally dig your color.I have Steeda H Pipe and Axle Backs. If I had the Active Exhaust I would have most likely stopped with just the H Pipe, since it gets expensive after that. This is in the neighborhood, so keeping it toned down.
