RE: Installed GT Take Off Axle Back Today....
ORIGINAL: ether947
Took all of 45 mins to get the old muffler removed and GT Take Off installed. Sounds awesome at idle and low RPMs, but that awesome sound goes away under load/WOT. It sounds waaaaay too ricey for a Mustang. Feels like I got some more low-end torque and throttle response though. Prolly all in my head.
Now to de-rice my Stang.
Anyone go from Single GT Take-Off to duals? Did the ricey note go away? Did you use X, Y, or an H-Pipe?
I'm leaning towards the Ninosport Y-pipe, but I'm open to opinions.
Thanks.

It's hard to get a good sound out of the v6. The GT takeoff was too quiet at idle for me...and way too high-pitched at WOT. I went with a single MAC, but had to add a resonator to get rid of drone. It sounds great at idle, but is not mustang like at WOT (a little euro.. but deep).. it sounds good.. but could be better. Keep in mind that even the GT guys have trouble getting good sound out of their s197s... because of the axleback exhaust on our cars.

Got the full Pypes dual kit with Street Pros.
Way louder than the GT takeoffs, so it is a preference thing.
Idle and up to 2500 is very deep, over 2500 sounds like a Ferrari 246GT.
Interior: http://media.putfile.com/0-60-2006-M...t-Pro-Mufflers
Exterior idle: http://media.putfile.com/SOHCman-Pyp...er-8k-Break-In
Exterior: http://media.putfile.com/SOHCman-Pypes-Acceleration
It will always be a V6, albeit, a mean V6.
Enjoy whichever route you choose, just go duals. The look is a huge plus at shows & cruises.

I am thinking maybe some of that could be solved with the second muffler and H-pipe. But it is still a V6.
