Default Upgrading Exhaust... opinions needed!

I have a 2009 Mustang & am in the process of figuring out what I want to do with it.
I'm thinking about dual magnaflow exhaust... does anyone recommend anything?
Also... how much does it normally cost to make a second cut out in the rear bumper?

Help pleeaassee =)

i just installed dual exhaust this weekend, after listening to millions of sound clips i decided on the Ford Racing Performance Parts dual exhaust because it had the best sound. Great sound and no drone or resonance when cruising, decent price as well. Did the install myself, cutting the bumper was fairly easy to do, just used a dremel and its pretty easy.

i managed to find a set that has the older GTA mufflers with larger tips than the new GTB's that now come with the kit for the V6. the older GTA's are slightly louder than the new GTB's, but the GTB's are supposedly deeper

overall im extremely happy with the setup both looks and sound wise. the best thing about this setup is that it comes with metal pieces that finish the bumper cutouts and make it look factory as well as protecting your bumper from being melted by the heat of the exhaust

Where did you buy your exhaust? I'm in the same boat want duals but don't want drone.

i ended up buying it at the Ford Dealership near where i live, surprisingly they were the cheapest option for me since i live in Canada and the shipping and conversion would have made it more expensive to buy online. they are cheaper online since if you live in the US theres usually free shipping, (V6mustangstuff.com, ninosport.com etc.) but most of those places now carry the new GTB mufflers even though they may still advertise the GTA's.

the GTB's are the same ones that are on the new Bullitt mustang, 3.5" tip rather than the 4.0" tip on the GTA

drone was also a concern of mine, so im quite happy that there is none with the FRPP. also, install went smoothly and there were very few line-up issuse with the mufflers. everything is included in the kit, very good quality clamps etc. some of the cheaper brands like Pypes are slightly cheaper, but they dont include everything so once you buy the extra hangers etc they are around the same price.
