Can someone tell me the difference between these two FRPP Axle Backs?
One is MFG part # M-5230-GTA and the other is M-5230-5GT. The GTA seems to be about $200 less.

From the Ford Perf Parts Cat:

M-5230-GTA:
- T-409 stainless body with highly polished 4.0" diameter tips
- Louder, "throatier" exhaust note
50 states legal

M-5230-5GT:
- T-304 stainless construction
- Proven increase in horsepower and torque
- Louder "throatier" exhaust note
- 49 state drive-by noise legal (not legal in CA)
- Includes mufflers with Ford Racing Embossed 3.5" exhaust tips

Both have a MSRP of $440 in the catalogue.

Hope this helps?

 

For more info, here is some info on stainless steel
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stainle...tainless_steel

 

The 5GT's are what is referred to as 'Stingers' Round shape, almost a straight-through pipe.Quite a bit louder than stock.
The GTA's are oval in shape, a chambered muffler.Slightly louder than stock,little deeper.They are what the Shelby/Hertz have on them. Current price on these is 279. No drone.

 

I have been looking at the GTA's for quite sometime now, I am hoping my girl gets them for me for xmas...lol, well I'll still be paying for them, but you know the deal...

 

Cool, thanks for the info.

 

Yes, thanks, I was wondering the same thing!!!

 

I havent heard the GTA's but I do have the 5GT "Stingers" and they certainly are a throatier, louder exhaust! I love my Stingers and love the way they sound but its all about preference and what you like. Good luck with your exhaust expedition!!!
