Wahoo!! Christmas come early! Got my Boss 302 side exit exhaust today. Planning on putting it on tomorrow or Saturday. It's gonna be interesting without any baffles. I may use drilled out baffles if it is too much. The car is a DD and I'm not trying to be obnoxious.

Good luck with the install!

Well. I took me about an hour and a half by myself to remove the old h pipe and install the new one with the side pipes. Honestly, the side pipes themselves took about 10 minutes each side. Holding up the new H and tightening it down at the same time was the trickiest part. My thoughts on the initial 30 mile drive:

Acceleration has never sounded better. It is the smoothest aggressive note I have heard. Acceleration with no one around is perfect. In traffic the sound can be a tad loud, but that's only because I am used to the GT500s.

I couldn't stop smiling. I had Borla S Type for a little bit and thought it was too much. The on freeway tone is a slight drone when any load or decel is happening. With any amount of volume on the radio it really can't be heard. Probably about the same as my old S types.

The great thing about this setup is the fact that I can make it as loud or as quiet as I want, with just replacing the baffle, getting different sized baffles, or putting in place an electric butterfly valve (which I plan to down the road). I couldn't be happier. Fitment is abvoously perfect and the sound is pure sex.

Nice, couldnt bring myself to spend 700 on the setup or else id have it. Owell, mines plenty loud now :-D. Since youre going to make different plates anyway, try putting holes of different sizes on each side to eliminate drone. Say one at 1/2 and one at 1/4". Might change the harmonics enough to prevent resonance.

Yea. I need to do more research on which plate size to go with. For everyday use and working nights, the open exhaust is a tad much.

No plate . Throw the Borla's back on and youll love it. Be warned though if you put headers on it she'll get very loud.

Kook's 1-7/8" headers, Catted Boss H-pipe, sotck resonators, and Borla S type axle back on my Boss. Sounds like a Nascar cup car.

COngrats man. Im also thinking about getting this. I have my Borla S-Type and Love them to death. I was wondering tho, how it sounds (the Borlas and Side exhaust together) Could you post a video? (If you still have them that is.) Also any Drone?
Also forgive my ignorance but any idea if a X-pipe could be used instead of a H?

congrats man, any vids?

Hey guys. As far as an X version, Ford Racing does make an X version of this, but only for the S197 platform with the 4.6.

So I have tested plates with 3/4" holes and also plates with 1" holes. It definitely quiets the exhaust, but it gets rid of the "growl." You still get a lot of the bass and sound, but the very cool, distinct sound these were tuned for goes away quite a bit.

So, I have decided to leave them open. I'm going to add QTP's Boss 302 electric valve kit to shut them when I want it quiet. The valves can also be opened part way so I can change how loud I want to make it.

Sorry, I don't have the Borlas any more. Just my GT500s for the rear. I haven't taken any videos yet since I am still figuring things out. I will throw the Go Pro on the car when I get some free time to go driving.

sounds great cant wait for the vids
