Default GT500 Boomtubes???

I have heard tons of 500's with borla, FFPP, magnaflow... etc... all seem to run basically the same setups..... i was wondering... i had boomtubes on my 07 mustang gt and they sounded great... so why doesnt anyone have them on their 500's???? I would really like to hear the difference compared to a 4.6 motor.. i just drove my uncles 07 and i fell in love with them again.... the 500's exhaust is so quiet that it makes me sick.... so is there anyone out there running boomtubes on their gt500's?? if so can you get some vids??? If no one has them i might have to be the first to put them.. cause i loved them before so i think they would sound even better on this motor..

uh oh...what happened to no mods...J/K...the exhaust sound to me was the most important mod...I never heard boom tubes so would love to hear as well.

lol, yeah i know.... but of all things to do, the exhaust has to be done, the stock sound is sad.... I guess i might be the first to put the boomtubes on... well when i come across some money i think thats what i'll do =)

The stock sound is not that impressive but it is far from SAD!! It actually has gotten better with break in!

idk but i can barely hear it.... my dads 08 v6 mustang is louder than my car.... so in my opinion its sad... they could have made it a bit louder...

+1: I thought the stock sound was sad as well...thus my reasoning to not even take mine off the lot without an exhaust change...but thats just my opinion

i have only had the car for about 2 months now and i said i'd wait on the mods.... if they even do come.... my first priority is to get the car paid off.... then i'll do small things... But i think im gonna do the exhaust now cause i cant stand how quiet it is.....So, boomtubes are most likely gonna be put on, im assuming they are gonna be a little quieter than the ones on my 07 mustang... but i loved them on that car and i know ill love them on this car.
