Default 2012 Mustang GT Flowmaster American Thunder VS Gt500s Axle Back Drone?

I had a 2010 Mustang GT, but the 5.0 itch had to be scratched, I found a great deal 3000 miles away, and the dealer agreed to give me what I paid for my 2010 , 2 years ago (NADA book trade in value). So I could not pass it up. I had Flowmaster American Thunder axle backs on the 2010, they were much better then the stock mufflers, but I wanted something louder for my 2012. I do alot of highway driving, and I hate drone. The American Thunder Axle Backs had no drone. I considered the Flowmaster Outlaws, and they sounded great (online videos), but everything that I have read said that they have a crapload of drone around 2K RPMS. My question is, are the GT500s axle backs louder and more intense then the American Thunders? If so, by how much? Do the GT500s cause any drone? How are they compared to the Outlaws? Any help would be appreciated.

you should look into KR mufflers.

I cant speak to the Flowmaster's other products, but the American Thunders had no drone, and still had *****. (Although, I still wanted it to be louder).

I Googled Rousch Extremes, and could not find them. I found Corsa Extremes, but not Rousch. Which Rousch model are you referring to?

Yeah, my car has 550 miles on it, I still want to keep as much of the warranty as I can. Does Rousch make those in just the axle backs?
