ok i want some oppinioons on this exhaust setup im going to be getting this fall fior the SVT.

MSDS headers (coated)
Custom 2.5" y-pipe
2.5" in/out High flow Magnaflow catylitic convertor
NO RESONATOR!
2.5" custom bent piping all around
2.5" in/out Universal BORLA "S" type mufflers(aka stingers)
4" round polished angle cut rolled embriodered BORLA tips
Everything nicely welded togeather for nice secure fit.

I also have a CTA motorsports Maf adapter with a K&N RU-3530

What do you guys think of sound and power from this setup??? all opinions welcome since i will be spending alot of money on this.

ps: no comments about switching the borla mufflers to magnaflows. my dad has borla on his focus and lincoln and they sound like heaven.

I'm assuming you are getting mandrel bent piping then? If so doesn't sound like a bad setup

Are you going to still have a dual setup? If you are the 2.5" setup from the y back to the split is going to be the biggest restriction. 3" in that section would open it up even more.

This one would obviously be the least restrictive ;) But as I said thats going to be L O U D and you don't really need that much flow just for an NA 2.5L but for a F/I setup like I see you're planning it might be beneficial.

well actualy i dont think im gonna be goin the F/I route any more. beacuase in January i think im gonna start saving up for my dream car. which is an 03`Cobra. but yeah i also had the idea of mayb instead of doing all the y-pipe n all of that just put straight piping from the headers n have dual cats going straight back to the mufflers n so on so i would have a "True dual" system n have to not worry about restrictions and loos of power.
 
...with no resonator, get ready for the raspy sound at start-up...some people don't mind, others hate it...

From personal experience, I didn't like it and ended up putting a resonator back on...

I purchased my car without one and it sucked, hard, for highway travel. Put a glasspack in and called it a day.

Weapon R headers
Weapon R Y pipe
2.5" test pipe
2.5" cat back, one magnaflow muffler, no resonators, no cats.
