Default Cheapest place for the Ford Racing axle back.

I think I've decided on the Stinger clones. I thought I remember people getting them for about $360. I cant find them that cheap.

Thanks. I think I may print this out and see if my local dealer will price match.

Doubt It, They usually don't match e-bay prices because they know there's no way they can come down that low. My dealer wanted $525 and $150 for intsall, I just laughed and walked out

I just put mine on a few days ago. Search for "Borla Mustang" on Ebay and you should find them. I was able to call the guy and pay with a credit card ($405 shipped).

They looked new, but it looked like one was dropped on the input pipe so the input pipe was not quite round. I had to re-roundify it by inserting a vice-grips into it and opening the handle to spread out the tube.

Install took me 1.5hours, most of which was getting the left muffler off - those hanger bolts are obscured pretty well by the stock muffler.

They sound great outside the car, but at 1200 to 2000 RPM I get a lot of drone in my convertible. My gas millage has gone down from 18 to 17 since I have to cruise at 60MPH in 4th gear on the smaller highways.

Driving under highway overpasses with the top down sounds incredible!

I love the sound and the drone isnt that bad. I notice a drone around 17-1800 rpm but I still think it's so cool, I'd leave it in 4th if I could all the time just to hear it.

The install was a huge PITA, well no taking the original ones off actually like you said. I have no idea why the hell they put the brackets in like that so It's almost impossible to get to the bolt, both on the drive and passenger side.......damn ford, I don't remember alll my words exactly trynig to get those off but I belive it was something like this lol.......&#^(%#@^&@#%)%&@#*%^ mother #(%&@)#*&% son of %&(#$.... Yea i got anger issues lol [:@]

I love them though, and the Ford Racing logo IMO is a classy touch !!!
