i have the roush axle backs and a bbr 3 inch x pipe on my 11 gt and i love it. it is pretty loud but i love it. i was debating the gt500 mufflers and didnt think they would be loud enough so i went with the roush and im happy with them

man, i listened to sound clip after sound clip. one day it was roush for sure then the next i was sure the hushpowers were for me. then i heard the roush in person and was taken aback by how loud they actually were. i asked the dude if he'd done any other exhaust mods and he said that the axle back roush was it. i just couldn't see being that conspicuous. maybe 15 years ago but now, nah. went back to the forums and read several posts about how guys were liking the GT500 mufflers and when i saw the price i figured to give them a try. so, short story long, they're en route from american muscle. less than $300 after mustangforums.com discount. will post when i've swapped them out.

Been running the 500's for about 2 months. I am still very happy with them. I passed an old friend today heading in the opposite direction. I reeved at him. He immediately called me on the cell and asked what I had done to the car. He said it sounded awesome. Not too loud, but loud enough to be noticeable under throttle. Great deep sound with zero drone. Also nice rumble when gearing down. At around 260 a set they are hard to beat. I was at first was concerned them being a stock Ford muffler about them being too tame, this is definitely not the case. Hope you enjoy them!

GRNBAYFAN- I picked mine up from Latemodel Restoration. I am restoring a 91 fox and purchase alot of parts from them. They usually are reasonable on pricing. 260-280 I think for a set. 14.99 on all shipping, including motors. Great customer service also!

I also love the grumble when gearing down...that's probably my favorite thing about these. I was also worried about buying OEM, but these are damn near perfect if you want muscle without being obnoxious.
