Exhaust layout?

Exhaust layout?
Hey guys just picked up my 2013 Gt and lovin it! But I want a ill more rumble and power. I'm a bit confused on the layout of the exhaust, is this how it goes= headers>x/h pipe>axle backs?
Also if I'm planning on getting longtubes later down the line should I just get axle backs now and wait till I get a x pipe/long tube package since that's how I see most of them being sold?
Thanks

I was going to go axle back with mine. But I looked at my goal later on down the road. Which was doing longtubes and midpipe. So I ended up going with the Stainless Works Retro Cat back system. Later I can add their midpipe and longtube headers.
Here is a video of what my Mustang sounds like with just the Cat Back system.

The only thing about an axleback is you won't get much extra power. Add a tune to it and then you've got something. A tune can always be changed when you do buy the longtubes. Who knows maybe you'll like the rumble of the axleback so much that you won't bother with longtubes?

It depends how far "down the line" you will be getting the longtubes. I went with flowmaster outlaw axlebacks and LOVE the sound from my car now! If you are willing to spend some cash and have the GT rumble before you buy longtubes, then definitely buy an axleback. You might even be able to get a muffler shop to do straight pipes which will really let you hear the sound that the 5.0 can make.

Yes longtube headers you need to get a shorty x/h pipe. The way I look at it you spend 300 to 400 on an axle back. Or you can spend about 800 and get a really good Cat Back that's going to make a sweeter sound and save time later on down the road when you do the mid and tubes.

If you just want axle backs that are sane when cruising and INSANE when you step on it, may I recommend the Roush Axle Backs. I got them for my car and when you get on it at about 4,000 RPM to redline, it sounds like open headers. Yet, at 2,000 on the highway, it's as peaceful as a sleeping kitten.
