Default Two options for Dual Exhaust

http://www.v6mustangstuff.com/05V6Exhaust.htm

Description:
Pypes Performance 2005 + V6 X-Pipe True Duals Converts V6 cars to True Dual exhaust!. Includes 2.5" mandrel Bent, XFM44 X pipe, mid pipes without crush marks, and a Street Pro Axle Back system. All 409 stainless construction.
One question about the above are the TIPS on those 4"?

OR i can get the FRPP

http://www.fordracingparts.com/parts...tKeyField=9910

More expensive but am not that sure about the difference, besides it being 50 state drive-by street legal...which in Florida doesnt really matter i think... lol

I have the FRPP exhaust and I can tell you from talking to other mf users, that the quality of the FRPP exhaust is much better than the pypes setup. You get all the stuff you need to do it yourself, and it comes with two GT500 mufflers which sound awesome.

I would recommend the FRPP, but then again I am biased

Yea I didn't either, until we matched the part numbers on the FRPP website.

They are the M-5230-GTA muffler kit. Which is listed herewhich is the same as this. However, now that I just linked all of it, it says just GT muffler kit, I could have swore it was GT500 unless they are all the same.

Aren't they just GT muffs with the appearance tips?

hmmmm i think the answer here is obviously FRPP lol, and from personal experiances which is what i was looking for...

So the extra few bucks would be worth it? Anyone have any estimates on installation?

Installation really should not be too bad. I paid about 120 for mine...but I was having other things done at the time.
I chose the FRPP before even knowing what it would sound like because I wanted a system that was going to fit like it was always there.... and this one surely does.

The FRPP kit uses the same mufflers as the Shelby GT and NOT the GT500. The GT500 uses the standard GT mufflers. The Shelby GT mufflers (part number M-5230-FTA) aredeeper and "throatier"than the standard GT mufflers.
