Default mufflers $$$

hello ya'll, new to the world of mustangs. sold my vette last year and got me a 2006 GT. has a CAI and want to install some axle backs. does anybody know if ther is a difference between Flowmaster American Thunder and the same muffler sold by Summit Racing for only $199 a pair? maintinence is not a issue because my car stays in a garage and is not driven in the rain. My other option is SLP loudmouth miffler eliminators for $365 or Pypes Muffler eliminators for $265. any help would be great.
Tom

I am not too sure the difference between the Summit mufflers and the flows. Regarding the difference between the pypes muffler deletes and the slp lm is the tips. The pypes is a single walled resonator tips and the SLP LM are double walleded resonated tips. Does this make a difference in sound? I am not sure. I have yet to here the pypes muffler deletes in person. From what I have read, most people like the sound of the SLP LM over the Pypes. Instead of buying new SLP or anyother axleback/muffler, look in the classifieds of various mustang forums. In the classifieds at www.allfordmustangs.com, there is a pair of SLP lm for sale.

It depends on what type of tone you want? Will you be adding an o/r h or x later? I think the axlebacks alone aren't enough for most of us. And why these 3 valve's sound like trash compared to the good setups in the 2/4 valves.

I have a new set of the American Thunder axle backs I'll sell ya for $250.00 shipped. They were not loud enough for me. They do have a good sound and no drone. The fit and finish is really good too.

I forgot that I had these videos. The first one is with stock mufflers and the second is with FRPP Stingers.

Congrats on the new hotrod. Lets see a pic. Muffler tone is really subjective. You might want to surf the net for sound clips before you purchase.

Better yet, hear it in person. SLP LM sound crappy in vids, but in person they sound awesome.
