The Bullitt mufflers come stock on the KR

That’s what I thought too, but aren't the "Bullet" mufflers chambered mufflers? I saw a review/test drive on youtube of the GT500KR and from behind it looked like it had canister/round type mufflers like the M-5230-SGT or M-5230-5GT on it.

Well, I know the production kr does have the Bullitt mufflers, the prototype may be different?

all Ford says about it is that it's a "Ford Racing Performance Exhaust System"

ah, yeah I see now....

I don't see why they can't provide a meaner exhaust on their other Shelby GT500's as well...

I mean... the Shelby GT has the X-Pipe and Stingers/FRPP setup....and sounds much meaner than the GT500's with stock exhaust

Shelby GT exhaust looks cooler too....

I know you can just change it out [which we did immediately] but I kinda wish it came from the factory with that
