I've been debating on which exhaust to put on my car. Cat back or Axle back, which manufacturer and how aggresive they will sound? Any feedback would be appreciated.

I've considered the Magnapac's, Corsa, and the Roush off road. I want more sound then the stock but not muffler deletes or real obnoxious. I would love to have a deep muscle car sounding exhaust that turns heads. I still want to keep the 4" tips for the look. The video clips on youtube are deceiving. Please give me you input, I want to make the change this week for some overdue sound from the car....

thanks,

I am very happy with my Ford Racing Stingers. They have 4" rolled tips and are a little bit louder and throatier than stock. They will probably get even slightly louder once the AR headers go on in the Spring. For some, even this is not loud enough, but it sounds like you don't want anything drastic. Not sure how else to do it other than YouTube or other video/audio clips. The best way, of course, is to experience them in person. To that end, you are welcome to come hear mine if you are ever up around D.C. I did a serach on this topic and came up with countless threads, including one I started a few weeks ago:

The M-5230-SGT, M-5230-5GT have been installed on my car and then removed, the droning was unbearable at highway speeds. The M-5230-SVT sounds like stock. When the news of the KR mufflers hit the forums and a link was provided I jump on them right away. They were installed in my driveway and have been enjoying them ever since. What is amazing about this muffler set is the lack of interior noise. All the sound is directed behind the car and its awesome. I tried the 5GT and the SGT and the both drone at 1500 to 1800 RPM. The drone is from 55 to 75 mph highway speeds. The SVT-1 are the same as stock.The KR muffler's have no drone. It's nice and quite in the cabin. Listening to the radio is a pleasure again. When you hoop on it all you hear is super charger and the motor making power.

I just changed over to the frpp svt1's - axle back . They have 4" tips and sound great with no cabin drone. Perfect set up for me !

I like how the "KR" system sounds..but I think that's only available in the 3.5" tips..unless they've come out with some new ones for the '10 model.

I ordered the Roush system. It should be here/installed this Friday. Go to youtube and search 2010 Roush exhaust...there is a silver GT with multiple videos...the sound should be very similar to a GT500. I have heard that the sound is unbelievable...no drone, very aggressive but NOT rediculous. I guess time will tell for me...I hope that I have made a good investment. I am getting a custom tune/pulley swap this Friday also. I CAN'T WAIT!

Our offroad X was the perfect fix to make the car sound how it should. No need to buy other mufflers. The KR's that come on the car are aggressive enough. It's the stock cats that keep them sounding tame.

My personal opinion is that the KR's with an offroad X makes it sound like a Magnapack system.

Here's a few videos. Listen for yourself.

I like the sound of the Roush system too...between that and the KR's. I'm weird in the way that it bothers me having a roush system on a Shelby. (it's just a personal issue - I'd rather have all "shelby" parts on the car - maybe a symptom of "OCD"? )

Plus...I know it's minor..and wouldn't bother 99% of the people..the Roush tips have the words "Roush" stamped on the tops. I know you can barely see it..but it's just me again...I'd know it was there.

But as far as just purely sound goes...the KR's and Roush are my fav.

[ISAID]

I was thinking about trying the CORSA Ultimate Touring Axle Backs has anyone got these or tried them, How do they Sound?

[keb]

I got the Ford Racing Stingers... and they do sound much better than stock. No drone that I can detect.

I do wish they were a little louder, if I had to do it over again, I might try the super stingers.

Nothing like a good exhaust discussion. So many opinions; no right answer.

Seriously, and videos are hard to go by. Some of the systems I've seen in videos sound way different in person. I met a guy down at the OC Fall Cruisin that had the Kooks headers and I think Stingers and it was crazy loud to the point my ears hurt as he drove by.

Does anyone have the Bassani axle back system?

I would like to know the same from any TS members. I have listened to a lot of sounds on youtube and the Bassani just sounds soo close to what I want when I get mine. So any TS members that have this I would really like to know your opinion on the system. I was looking at going CAT back.

[silversnake2001]

I have the Bassani 2010 axle back system. The only difference from prior years is that they had to make it a little bit longer to clear the rear. The tips are 4inches.

I can say that the sound is much better than stock. Much deeper and throaty however you spell that..lol..I would recomment Bassani.

Now saying that, the axle back was just not enough for me. I liked the sound, but I craved that real race car sound and knew that I needed a new x-pipe. I was going to wait for the entire 3 inch system but Bassni didn't know when it was going to come out, they say before Chrismas but who knows. So I went with the JBA off road x-pipe and all I can say is WOW! I know that the color combo that I went with is loud, but now I can say so is the sound. I finally got the race car sound that I wanted. I'm glad I went with the 2.5inch system as well, I'm told the 3in is even louder and maybe too loud!

So all in all, the Bassani axle back might be what your looking for, if you just want it a lil louder then I recommend it. If your craving some real sound so people know that your coming, then you will want to get a different x-pipe.

Oh and drone, I did notice a lil drone with the axle system and low RPM's. Not too bad, but yes there is a little bit.

Thanks for the reply. I'm just looking for a little better sound but I was concerned that I would end up with drone. I had a Bassani cat-back system on my 2004 Cobra. I liked the sound but there was a little drone at highway speeds.

[1badshelby]

SLP loudmouths, plenty of volume with WOT, and no drone at cruising speeds. I love them!

[mustanggt500]

Awesome replies and references to sound and cabin drone! Thanks a lot Silver.
