Question to SL'ers
Does anyone feel that their SL would sound good with a little hotter rapping sound? Are there any mufflers available that have a nice sound with a duel pipe out the back? Opinions and pictures welcomed.

Be advised that changing the stock exhaust in any manner will alter the automatic computer adjustments, especially on the 1990-and up.
Hence, engine problems could result.

Funny you should ask, Bruce. Back in '94, I bought one of the first 'redesigned' Ford Mustangs (5.0 GT) and loved the exhaust sound - deep, throaty, but not too obtrusive. Would love to recreate that sound in my '96 SL600.
