Hey guys, I think I need to replace my axle back mufflers!
I did a lot researches and found GT500 and Roush I like most. Could you please give me some suggestions to help me decide? I would place my order tomorrow.
Thank you !
You guys wanna hear loud???
Check this video I made last winter of my car.
btw- it was 30 degrees that day, my car does not smoke like that.
Turn your volume up! 2011 Mustang GT Ghost Cam.MOV - YouTube
If the Roush A/B is in any way similar in volume and tone to their Extreme Performance cat back system for the 05-09 its hands down the best option. My 07 gets nothing but compliments from other Mustang owners. When I trade her in for a 5.0 the first mod is a set of Roush axle backs! Even the wife says it sounds like a muscle car should.
yeah I only say that because I think the mustang should sound deep and rumble and you don't get that with the roush. Lots of rasp and nascar like sound.
Speaking from experience here too. I had the roush and traded them away and got the Borla S-Types. I wouldn't personally get a set of roush's again only because the deep rumble is far better than the raspy nascar sound.
That is personal opinion. I just don't think saying the mustang was intended to sound like a nascar racecar, is correct.

Havent heard them in person on the 5.0 but I've heard them on 4.6 and the get too raspy in my opinion. But hey thats why we have so many choices out there so we can customize and build out Mustangs to suit our individual tastes. A coworker has an 04 GT with flowmasters and he loves it, and its nice but not quitw rivht to my ears, and another has Magnaflows on her 10 GT which to me are a touch too quiet. To the OP try to find some local cars with different exhaust setups and listen to them that way. All then YouTube videos in the world cant match hearing them in person.
the borlas on the 5.0 are not raspy, the roush are...
I've got plenty of youtube videos with both, as I had the roush with an O/R X and traded them away and then purchased the Borla S-types that are on their now.
I have the Pypes Violators and they have a nice rumble when cruising with almost zero drone. They're quite inexpensive compared to most and even with my Pypes m80 mid mufflers it has a nice rumble to it and is quite loud when you get on it. I'd compare it to the loudness of a fox body with an o/r midpipe and flowmasters, not too loud but can be quiet if you want it to. If you want a loud and pissed off exhaust, get the Pypes Pype Bomb exhaust. I had them paired with the m80's and that set up was LOUD and angry sounding.
To my ears the youtube videos make the roush sound deep and throaty and the Borlas raspy, but that could be a product of the camera or other exhaust mods. One thing I have noticed about the Borlas on the many videos ive seen is that they havent changed them for the 13/14 rear facia change and the tips stick out about 2 inches more than they should.
