Thanks 2cokeman. My axel backs are the FRPP M-5230-SVT1's. I actually just installed the FRPP 2007-08 SVT Power Upgrade Package Part #M-2007-FR1SVT which includes the FRPP CAI and Procal Tune as well as the FRPP M-5230-SVT1 Exhaust.

I'm like you in that I want to keep my car looking factory OEM. I bought the car because it was a Shelby and I have always wanted one, not just because it is a 500 hp Mustang. I like the OEM look of the FRPP CAI and SVT1 axel-backs. And to me it feels more like they are just factory options rather than aftermarket parts. I like keeping my GT500 all genuine Ford

The GT500KR mufflers are the round versions of the Borla / FRPP M-5230-SGT’s, with Bullet muffler tips welded on. I really like the look of them, but I have read allot of post that say that they drone and I hate drone. The SVT1’s are as loud as I want to go, and they fit the back of the car / Air Diffuser perfectly. You can tell they were made for the GT500.

Hope this helps.

Thanks cheftjpeck, I agree with you 100% It was a looks and sound thing first and foremost, and as you said, the added performance was just the icing on the cake! With the FRPP CAI you can really here the Supercharger wine!

My Bullitt mufflers have no drone at all, but I wish they were a tad louder, they sound about the same as my GT did with the GTA's

I had the GTA's on my GT and on my GT500 and I really liked the way they sound. My SVT1's are deeper and a tad louder than the GTA's were, so they may be exactly what you are looking for.
