Default Difference between Auto and manual OEM mufflers

Does anyone know what the difference is between the Automatic and manual OEM mufflers on the 05+ GT's? I noticed that they carry different part #'s and the manuals are a little more expensive from dealer than the auto mufflers.

When I ordered my Stingers I never even thought or saw anything that would lead me to believe there was a difference. I think someone is yankin' your chain.

Theyre the same muffler whether they have diffrent part #'s or not. Sometimes they randomly assign diffrent part #'s to the same parts weird but that's the way it is

This has been discussed several times before, so those of you that say hes wrong and ford if pulling his chain and should suck his *****, are unimformed idiots

There are different part numbers and the sound is actually slightly different. I dont think you would notice really unless someone tells you though. But they are different numbers and everything.

That still makes absolutely no sense........why would Ford make the Auto's mufflers slightly different then the 5 spds? Theres no reason to.

Geeez, I never considered myself an uninformed idiot. Maybe an idiot sometimes and uninformed other times but not BOTH at the same time. Damn!
