i have these on my 06 GT and love them.
had they been around a few years ago, i would have
got them instead of GTA's.
6-speed said it well. no drone, quiet while cruising
and a nice roar when you get on it.
as far as i know, AZalloy was the first to have these
on a GT and there are only a few of us with them at present.
main reason is the $.

well i'm not gonna lie to you....the
initial blast is hard to conceal when
you are outside.
but it gets very quiet, very quickly.
i say go for it, you can always sell
them here or on ebay and recup
75% of the cost.

I have the FR500S/KR mufflers and absolutely love them!
They are definitely louder than stock. They are louder than the GTA as well, but not as loud as the Stingers.
They are loud at startup when your car is cold, they have a nice bite around town, but they don't drone at all. My car is a DD and I have absolutely no regret.
I had SLP loud mouth -> sounded awful like a dump truck, then the GTAs -> nice tone but too quiet, then the Stingers -> volume was ok, but I could not stand the drone as a DD.
I would buy the FR500S/KR again in a heartbeat.

i was a little worried when i went in
for my emissions test a few weeks
ago....i had even thought about
throwing my stockers back on, but
just said the heck with it. the tester
didn't say anything about them....
and +1 to everything sycd said.
