You'll gain a lot of refinement with cats and you won't lose any relevant horsepower with a good set.

V8s do not sound better with cats. A good tune will minimalize any of that sweet fuel smell coming from the exhaust.

The "clapping" sound you are referring to is known as rasp. Your exhaust sounds raspy, try a resonated x pipe. Magnaflow makes the best one, it finally got rid of the rasp in mine. TSP headers, no cats, magnaflow resonated xpipe, magnaflow mufflers. I might get a short rasp between gears if its really cold out, but its rare.

Clap is a good description of the new 5.0 Mustang that passed by when I was at a stop light. He got on it and it was awful. That coyote motor sounded like cardboard clipped to a bicycle wheel. Ford gets a big fail award for the factory exhaust tone.

For a minute there, I thought he was referring to the popping in your exhaust on deceleration. To that end, if that were the case, fuel starvation causes that so, a tune to remove that would relieve the popping. If it's something else entirely, I don't know what to tell you.

Pretty sure he's talking about the straight piped truck sound.

Hmm. Maybe it's been too long since I've heard a truck like that but, I've heard some combinations on Camaros that made me raise an eyebrow. I guess if have to hear it.

Homeless Man · 12-12-2015, 09:10 PM

My 2010 2SS "claps" too. It has long tube headers, no cats and an otherwise factory exhaust. It sounds good except the clapping.

Homeless Man · 12-13-2015, 01:50 PM

Never heard of an exhaust clapping. I've heard of hissing, vibrating, rattling, clunking...but never clapping lol someone explain

Brutal SS · 12-13-2015, 03:33 PM

CLASSIC!

xc_SS/RS · 12-13-2015, 04:27 PM

I'm going to suggest different mufflers than the 10 series, high flow cats and or a resonated x pipe.

I actually have Magnaflow bullets. Sounds really great and gets way too much attention from fans. Now I know what a celebrity feels like being asked for autographs all day.
