2005-09 Roush Extreme Axle Back/Muffler Deletes
I'm looking to replace my Magnaflow street axle backs with either the Ford Performance FR500S (GT500KR) axle backs or my first choice of 05-09 Roush Extreme axle back/muffler delete resonators.. Anyhow I'd like to know as to which would sound best on a 05-09 GT 3V, as I'm looking for that deep, throaty aggressive sound, but don't want the annoying cabin drone while cruising at highway speeds.. I'll also be pairing them with the "OEM" catted H-pipe and stock exhaust manifolds.. In the meantime, here's a link and image for the 05-09 Roush Extremes..

Just by looking at those Roush pipes, I think it is safe to say they are going to be LOUD. Not sure if that means they will drone.
The great thing about the FR500S mufflers is that they produce zero drone, and volume is moderate on light throttle cruise. When cruising on the highway you can hear the exhaust if you listen to it, but it is easily drowned out with the radio and no problem for a normal conversation. Heavy throttle and/or high RPM and they do get quite loud. I have had several people comment that my car is one of the best sounding at Track Night.
But the FR500S are expensive for sure . . .

So don't be too surprised if you end having to do the same with yours
