Nothing to write home about considering it's only the axle back exhaust that they use. I have them but I took off my cats and ran an H-pipe off of JBL long tube headers and the car sounds MEEEEEEAN.

Which one, the regular axle-back or the one with the Roush rectangular tips for use with the Roush Rear Fascia?

I have the roush body and interior package on my car so I have the Roush Tips that go with the rear Fasica. The tips don't really do anything as they are just tips and the sound is made from the axel backs. It sounded much better than stock and people did notice it with just that. But headers and an h-pipe turn it into a whole new car.

Yeah, Roush uses a Magnaflow Axle-back system.

When my buddy at work heard I bought a Roush, he said "Show me your tips!"

damn...that that gave me a flashback to Laconia....

I was thinking about the roush hood scoop over getting the Ram Air Hood (for obvious cost reasons) and I have stripes 2 and didn't know how it would look. Can you post up a shot of the front of your car (like your profile pic but bigger) so I can see how it looks with the stripes? I'd appreciate it. Haven't seen one with stripes yet.

PS - I said I got compliments and likes the roush exhaust sound but it is NO Comparison to long tube headers with an h-pipe (and take the cats off) Loud, but awesome.

I think it would look mean! It is recommended that it's installed by a professional though, because it requires some trimming of the stock fascia. Let me know if you have any more questions, mclark@promustangperformance.com

magnaflow just came out with a louder exhaust system to fit the roush rear valance (tips included). I just installed them, same sound just louder and more bass. they look like coffee cans.
