Best Axle Backs???....NO Rice!!!

What are the best Axle backs for the GT/CS fascia (i.e. Gt-H wind diffuser)... I know it will fit a 4" pipe. I want them to sound good and deep, but I don't want them to sound Rice!!!

I love my Flowmaster American Thunder axle-backs. They have a nice tone -- nice and muscular -- without being too loud to scare the neighbors. They also have a 4" outlet that fills the cutouts quite nicely. And since the mufflers are painted black, they blend in underneath the car and look factory.

There is NO axle back for the mustang that will make it sound RICE...we have a V8.

You're asking a question that's HEAVILY biased, as each person will say that THEIR exhaust is the best. So, I would recommend just searching some posts on this forum to find out what people have to say about their particular exhaust.

If drone is a concern, then there is really only one choice: Corsa. If drone isn't a concern, there are a lot of different companies out there, and I'm sure they all sound GREAT.

I see that Ninosport.com has different sound bites but I was wondering how most of these actually sound in person?
Also anyone with Modded Axle Backs with a Vert, how loud inside the car are they over your Factory 3" pipe?

Corsa's are quieter than stock when cruising, but if you push on the gas for hard acceleration, they open up to a sweet sound. They are loud when accelerating, but do not drone, which is the big difference between Corsa's and others.

To give you an idea: I've driven at 75 mph with the top down and talked on the cell phone.

Corsa's website has some sound bites, and I think they are pretty much on par of what it really sounds like.

BTW, here's what the Corsa's look like. They are 4" tips.

Hey Tampa,
I run Macs on mine. They drone but the sound is !!! If you want to hear them in person, I would have no problem with setting up a meeting point somewhere here in the bay area.

If you want deep, go with the original 40 series 2 chamber Flowmasters. If you are concerned with drone, then these will rattle your teeth. I love them though!

The factory setup does have a slight amount of drone when you compare them to the Corsa's. It's by no means bad or annoying, but I do think the corsa's are a little quieter when crusing.

I'm also in Tampa and just installed a Steeda axle-back, which is the same as Borla / FRPP. If you're interested in hearing it, we can meet up somewhere.

GTA's

Just put the GTA's on the last couple of weeks - looks are great compared with stock, they are quiet but with a deep rumble...they don't "uncork" like a corsa does, but they have a nice sound to them...and couldn't beat them for the price... Also there is NO DRONE with these....

Flowmaster ATs and a 'Vert here...

Dropping the top exposes a lot more rumble at idle, sounds great! Minor drone if you lug the engine, but not bad at all. I usually turn off the radio just to hear the exhaust when I have the top down.

Flowmasters wake up when you mash the loud pedal - not as raspy as "open pipe" setups like SLPs, but also not as loud.

My take on Flows is: Louder than stock, but not enough to get me in to trouble, but NOT loud enough to intimidate that ricer in a Cavalier that wants to race.
