Default Borla, Corsa, Ford Racing,,,which one??

Ignore the price,
Which axleback would you choose or say would give the least drone, cabin noise, other then hearing the exhaust tips roar,,,would you put on your mustang?

Borla Touring, Borla S-Type, Corsa Sport, Ford Racing,,,

I know they are all around $700 or so.

Ive got the Borla Type-S on the Boss and love them. No drone and quiet in 6th gear. Cant speak on any of the others though.

I had the FRPP GT500s, then tried the Borla S-Types. What I found with my 3.73 rear end, is up to 70 mph, the Borla's were very quiet cruising. When I did 75-80, I would get a slight exhaust note hum, but no drone. Also everytime my cruise control would accelerate on a hill of the freeway, I would notice it audibly since the car would go from quiet to growling.

Don't get me wrong, it wasn't LOUD at all. But I got spoiled with my GT500 exhaust, and put them back on. The Borla tips look 100 times better, but if push came to shove, I could buy new tips and have them welded in.

So, my vote is for the FRPP GT500s. For the sound, quality, and price they can't be beat.

Had Borla on an old Hot Rod and loved them. Then had Corsa on a CTS-V, and LOVED them. Never had Gt500s though on anything.

Here was my CTS-V with the Corsa exhaust -

I have a 2013 Mustang GT with the 5.0 and have Borla "Stinger" S-Type axle backs on it. They sound great! Loud enough to where you'll get compliments and turn heads, yet quiet enough to not be annoying. When you get on it, you know you have them, but coast and drive conservative and they are real quiet. No drone at all, you don't know you have them cruising in 6th on the expressway. I paid about $759 from AmericanMuscle.com, but they go on sale. Worth the money, much higher quality than any other exhaust I've had.

when i am referring to ford racing I was thinking about the
M-5230-MGTLA.
How are those compared to GT500.??

Much louder, better looking tips, no drone. Almost the exact same tone, just amplified 1.5-2 times at idle.

do the full borla S catback.. ;]

they are all quality choices. it's really going to be a preference decision.

try to hear some locally if you can. sound clips do not do them justice.

I just had Borlas installed a couple of weeks ago, and love the growl on start up and cruising around. But like mentioned earlier, it is pretty quiet on the highway.
