Default Roush Cat-Backs installed...loving them

Had some Roush Cat-Backs installed last week on my '10 GT and I love the way they sound. However, I have two problems:

One, my mileage is suffering because I can't keep my foot out of it.

Two, it's very cold in my car because I have the windows down so I can hear it.

Seriously though, I am very pleased with how they look and sound. Obnoxious enough when I get on it, but also quiet at idle and cruising speed. There is a bit of a drone at just a tick over 2000 RPM.

I drove my family nuts listening to sound clips and finally decided on the Roush. Next up...CAI and tune!

They are the Off Road for the 2010. Part number 420025.

Roush calls them "off road" because they are too loud for CA and ME.

The description says they are axel back, but the instructions state they are cat-back.

I'm trying to figure out which exhaust I want myself. Either Flowmaster Delta Flows (I had these on my '04 GTO and they sounded AMAZING) or a Corsa setup.

Adding some sound clips. These are both from inside the car with the windows up and were taken with my iPhone. Hopefully the clips show up. If not, I'll try again.

I took this while getting on the highway. I was more concerned about keeping it on the road than keeping the phone still.

This one is taken as I accelerated from a stoplight.

The exhaust is the only mod I have made.

I'll get some more sound clips recorded and make them available. I know when I was looking, I listened to every clip I could find.
