Do you think I could get the '11 5.0 sounding like the 05-09 GT's

if you get a cat back, it is everything from the cats back, meaning the whole rear half of the exhaust, there is no need to buy a axle back.

Really, thats interesting. That means I will probably run into the same problem..you should really post that question up my man, and send me a link to the question.

and BTW, this sounds great to everyone else reading..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQhRBCziQ6s

As much as I love the restyling for the 2010 and the 2011, the sound is one of my few complaints. I've just NEVER heard one, or any S197 for that matter that just did *it* for me. At idle they sound like tugboats, and under throttle they sound way to farty and raspy for my tastes. I guess its because I'm an ex-Foxbody guy.

If some company comes up with a system to make my car sound like a Flowmastered Fox, or even a 2V New Edge with exhaust, I'll be all over it.

(PS, I'm not holding my breath)

I really liked the sound of my 07 mustang with FRPP Hotrod cams and stingers... But I absolutely love the sound of my 2011. I wouldnt want my 2011 sounding like my last one
