Got them from rpm outlet. I know some people don't care for the company's service, but I've never had a problem with getting my stuff.

Borla mufflers are guaranteed for 1 million miles. They are solid T-304 grade stainless so they will last forever. Those FORD Racing mufflers at RPM Outlet will be $530 with box charge and shipping fee. Save yourself $130 and get these Borla stingers posted here:

They are excellent!

I see RPM outlet doesn't sell my Borla's anymore, but the Ford racing ones look exactly the same. Mine say Borla on the mufflers instead of Ford. I want to say I only paid 450 bucks for mine all together back when they had free shipping.

Yeah, the mufflers are identical except for the engraving since Borla makes them for FORD Racing.

The pictures I've seen of the Ford Racing and Borla show distinct differences between them. The FR's do not appear to be all stainless steel, just the tips. The Borla's are all stainless steel, probably justifying the price difference, too.

For the record, I just installed MAC's on my '05 GT and I must say they have some serious drone. They look good and they sound good but they may be too loud for the non-hard core.

I Have Flowmasters on the Stang.....easy to install and they look pretty cool......as far as the sound, I thought they would have be louder than what they are. I use to have a 86' Mustang GT with 2-chambers and an off-rd h-pipe. That car sounded mean as hell!! I love the way that sounded and think I might need to get an off-rd x-pipe to duplicate that sound....anyway, I got them on www.summit.com for real cheap....they are a little louder than stock but not much...

Go Buckeyes!
