UNinstalled Roush Exhaust Today
If you have read the other long thread on installing Roush exhausts, you will know that the drone at 2000 and other rpms was hurting my ears. The exhaust sounded great downshifting, at idle and getting on it hard. But the constant drone got to me after one week. (I posted videos of it on YouTube and here).
So today I went back to Healey Ford in Goshen, NY, where I bought the exhaust and had Rick, their Mustang expert, put the old exhaust back on. These guys at Healey are the best. They didn't charge me anything to re-install the stock system and one of the guys there, another Mustang fan, bought my old Roush (1 week old!) system and they ordered for me a set of Magnaflow axleback. Will get next week and then I will be all set. I highly recommend any high performance Ford person to go to Healey and ask for Chic.

P.S. My Brenspeed tuner is coming TODAY via UPS!

wow...good deal man.
I love Roush products, but I keep hearing about that drone.
Good selection on those Magnaflows. They are my favorite Exhaust Company hands down. I'm fighting myself over GT500KR take-offs or those Magnaflow axlebacks as well

That Rick guy I was talking about showed me his Bullitt, green of course, with stripes. Something hit his bumper and damaged it but he doesn't care as he is putting on some kind of after martket one. It was the first and only Bullitt I have ever seen.

I've had them on a 4.6 2v (Magnapacks) and a 5.4 3v. Zero drone at all.
Put easily 40,000 miles onto the 2 exhausts combined.
I'd have them on this car already, but I'm looking to keep the car 100% stock or with FRPP equipment

that was a Mustang and a Truck
I have never heard of a Drone complaint on the trucks.
and this thread is the first I've heard about them on a car.
oh well...live and learn. I'm on the lookout for the GT500KR mufflers myself. supposed to be slightly better than stock, with zero drone...I'm done with the days of loud *** exhausts. getting too old, and don't want to wake up my kids at 5 AM when I go to work

I only really hear the drone right at 2k RPM. If I move off that it very quickly goes away.
My neighbors actually complained about my car when i left to NY last week. They complained to my roommate..... If I actually liked my neighbors I would be concerned..but since I don't....to hell with them!!!
