Default Anyone put the Roush exhaust on their 5.0 yet?

I'm very anxious to change out the exaust on my GT/CS but I don't want to rush into anything. Has anyone heard the roush in person? It seems to be a good deal at 399 but I'd like some more opinions.
Thanks!

Have you heard the Stainless Works exhaust? It sounds awesome but it is really expensive.

Yeah, it does sound pretty good but 850 for just the mufflers is a bit much for me. It's also a bit louder than I'd like.

You say expensive, but the exhaust plus a tune REALLY wakes the 5.0s up... my buddy has a 2010 GT500 (stock) and lost to a guy this weekend in a 20-120 run by a 1/2 car. The car he lost to was a 2011 GT with full exhaust and tune.

So, while it might be pricey for the exhaust if you look at the big picture it's a great way to wake the car up.

Thats true but there are other exhaust systems out there for a lot less then $2000, they claim its so much because its "true" stainless steel or whatever.

I don't know about how the Roush O/R exhaust ( no mufflers just resonators) would preform on the 2010 or 2011 but I have it on an 05 with Longtubes and Hot Rod cams and as S197 Steve's signature says ( When I gun the motor people do think the world is coming to an end!)

Haha, thanks. Not really going for "the world is coming to an end sound" though. I just want a more aggressive sound as compared to stock. Some of the exhaust clips for the 2011 I've heard online sound pretty terrible so I'm trying to get some 1st hand opinions.
