Visually, you can see there is a difference;

This is an Auto;




This is a Manual;



I've heard many guys on here say the manual has a much better sound. That's what I have on my Mustang;

I have a set of the auto that I still have in my basement but I put on the manual. It would be neat to swap them to see if there really is a difference!

I have the stock mufflers from my manual on a shelf. You saying someone would actually want to buy them?

Oh, yea, there is. Been there, done that...
The body shop replaced my GT M/T take-off
with a GT AUTO by mistake after a wreck damaged
the GT M/T take-off muffler.
It was like night and day.
They promptly removed it and replaced it with a
brand new GT M/T muffler and the V6 woke up again.
I got to break that GT M/T muffler in also.
1ooo miles later and its back to sounding mean for $5 + S/H, eBay.

Thanks for swiping my pics 07 STANG

Exactly what is the sound difference between the AT and MT mufflers? I wonder if AT mufflers will make my O/R X-pipe sound any better.

You too? I never posted them for sale because I figured they wouldn't sell.
