Sorry if I miss something I didn't bother to read through all 3 pages of responses.
Mandrel bends is great. That is were I source all my tubing my turbo kits. They will be your best priced option on exhaust tubing. The shipping cost can hurt but its still better than anywhere else.

Are you running a complete exhaust? full tails? if not, there is not much you can do to aviod the drone. Flowmaster are deadly on drone without tails. I have a full Dynomax exhaust which was also good zero drone until recently I cut the last 3ft off the tails so it would dump just after it...
I have the very same Flow Tech ones on my Dart. I installed them in the front section of my H pipe. They bolt right to the header flanges. I have my cut outs on the inside rather than facing out from the car. I think it was a lack of ground clearance or part of the frame that prompted me to do...
Does anyone dump the exhaust just after it passes over the rearend and on it way back down? Any pictures of this?
I currently have a TTI headers with full Magnaflow exhaust to the tips. I never cared for the look of tips sticking out from below the bumper. I didnt want to dump before then...
Sorry I didn't read anywhere you had a big block. I assumed it was a 340 car. Guessing you got the 383 instead. I could see that making a difference. I guess I don't really have an answer for that. Pypes mufflers are another option also. They have straight through design as well, but they are...
I read somewhere that was a common problem with the baffles. I believe they have claimed to resolve the issue also with tight clearances in manufacturing. But on the other hand the more moving parts always means more to go possibly wrong.
No drone here with Magnaflows on my dart. Idle is a good tone level. What I dont care for is the acceleration tone is a little low. Its kind of like the car quiets down from idle into the lower RPMs at moderate take off until I press the pedal more to bring on the revs faster. Typical driving...

^^^heres is a link to a video on my facebook^^^
Sorry no video. And no stock stuff here. I run a 70mm turbo before. LOL
The turbo does quiet the car a bit. But mustangs are my first love and I know that it’s louder than a stocker. I had flowmasters on the car before hand because I didn’t mind the drone (I don't think anything...
Dont mean to hi jack the thread but if your going to retain all four cats and stock dimpled headers than I think a obnoxious sound is going to happen. check out Pypes Race pro's. They are very surprisingly qiuet with zero drone. I have a set on my 5.0L convertible and they came out to be a too...
I don't have a picture of the accual headers but I do have a video of the car running with a good shot of the headers.
