$200 is nothing when it comes to mufflers. The Flows arnt much better then stock and are cheaply made. Just kick in $100-$150 and get something you like not something you settle for because its cheap....you will regret it down the road and eventually shell out $300 on something good. (Mac Boomtubes and Mac Mufflers FTW. Both very deep and sound much louder then stock) As for the shifter the Hurst wins it IMO. Fits perfectly when grabbing for it during hard accelerations/driving. It looks awesome as well (go to Ford dealer and check out a Shelby GT with one in it). BTW where in WI are you? Milwaukee area for me
I agree. I don't want anything cheap. That said, if I can get something nice AND still get a good deal that is even better. That's why the choices here are limited. I'm not like the government. My pockets (my wife's in this case) are not bottomless.

And I'm Milwaukee too. Work downtown. I'm hoping I'll make it home before we get 12 inches of snow tonight.
Your the first person I have seen on here from Milwaukee. Yeah that would be a pain in the *** driving in what we are supposed to be getting tonight. I cant wait until spring so I can get the Stang out of the garage....these WI winters are starting to wear me out[:@]

I would highly recommend spending at least $250 for an axle back...
I guess my thought is what I spend is relative. It's more about the system. $250 for a new system from a vendor like yourself is probably a good rule of thumb. If I can get a $400 system for $200 there shouldn't be anything wrong with that. There seems to be more than a few people who buy one thing, don't like it, then sell for what they can to change out. I'm hoping to get it right the first time and save a few bucks. That's why I need the opinion from you fine people.

Can you tell I'm a finance guy by trade??? I'm always thinking ROI.

Sorry. I bowl with a guy who's a senior tech at a local Ford dealer. He'll give me his 25% discount on FRPP and I still can't swing it. He's ticked at me too.

I just installed mine and they sound pretty sweet. Seems to be a deeper sound than the stock ones. The install was a bitch tho. heh. a couple of the bolts are hell to get to to remove the stocks. About to hit the road and see how good they sound. All I've done so far is run the block in the neighborhood. But one of my neighbors stopped to watch as I went by. LOL. Guess they sound good.



Hit up leo over at LTM Global. That's where I got mine.

I know he's on the forums here somewhere, might PM him. Probably username of ltmglobal

And the final answer is????

JBAs. The decision got much easier when I got back with the guy with the Loudmouths and he said he just sold them. But, with the vote so close I really can't go wrong going this route. I'll see about making a video or something with before and after. With all the snow we're supposed to get tonight I might just get holed up in the garage all day.

Thanks to everyone for their vote and their comments. I really do appreciate you taking the time. I'll try to return the favor.

Cheers!
