Well everyone, I finally got the video done and uploaded. Pretty good representation of what the Supreme Performane "FRPP GTAs" sound like with stock H-pipe compared to stock mufflers. So far I am pretty happy with them - good old muscle car sound, not too loud.

Enjoy!

Sounds better and looks better. The best bang for the buck on axle back mufflers for our cars IMO.

and they will season for a little more growl.

 

Sound's nice!

 

Sounds good, Richard!

 

Excellent video Richard,
Are you happy with yours? They definatly 'season' after a bit, get a bit more of a growl to them,I can even hear mine @ cruise now.Let my brother drive mine yesterday,he's considering a GT and/or a Cadillac CTS.
He loved the sound,said he's going to the Ford dealer Monday. LOL I think he was impressed.I'll havta ask Ford if I'll get the commision on that sale.

 

Great sound...great video. I like that you don't get that "pop" you hear so often after letting off the throttle. BTW, where did you pick those up?

 

aircare84,

I don't know that I'll ever find "the perfect" exhaust, but I'm going to run with these for a while. They really do have a nice growl, old muscle car Idle, and I too can hear them a little at cruise now, and they are not obnoxious. They seem to have opened up a little more at WOT now too. I think if startup were louder when the engine was cold, my neighbors might compain, so I'm pretty happy.

stnagfx,

Picked them up over at Ninosports over the internet. They have a promotion code you can put in if your a member of this forum - I think it is MTS.com which will get you a 5% discount. Normal price, last I checked was $279 free shipping.

 

The dealership that I bought my car from gives you fifty bucks if you bring some one in and that person buys a car. It is some kind of referral program, see if that dealership does that.

 

Nice! Do you mind sending me a copy of the video by email so I can add it to MustangExhaust.com and also to use it on the web store?

I just watched your video and have to say, the GTAs sound very nice. I compared it to some of the 5GT/Stinger videos and have to say the GTAs sound a lot nicer in terms of quality. The GTAs are a mix of a stock exhaust note with a "muscle car" exhaust. This is all subjective due to audio losses from the microphone and from the a/v compression, but what about those that have owned/heard both the 5GTs and GTAs?

The one thing I don't like about the GTAs is the use of T-409 stainless steel instead of T-304. Surely that cuts down on the price, but if given a choice between OEM style T-409 or T-304 in the rust belt, I'd go with T-304.

 

Sounds great....I too wish there (is there??) an option for the tail pipes...I've got an '07 with the GT package...ie. chrome rolled tail pipes which I really like..

 

Those sound great and look sweet. I just got done installing the 5GT a little while ago on mine. They are a little louder than I was expecting, probably should have went with the GTA.

 

Nino,

Don't mind sending copy at all. Problem is, the whole video is about 31 Meg, since the only video editing program I had was the Windows Video Maker that came with my PC. I'm looking into purchasing a good editing program, but haven't had time yet. Point is, it may not do well over standard email, since many of the servers limit attachments to 10 Meg. Let me know what your email address is and I can try. Another way is for me to send you a copy of it on CD.

 

I had the 5GT/Stingers originally. They are much louder and deeper throughout. You could feel the vibration in the car. They were really aggressive with a wonderful sound, but a little too loud around town for my taste and they had a moderate drone that annoyed me between 1300 and 2000 RPM, with peak that really reverberated at about 1800 RPM. The chrome FRPP imbossed tips were really cool though. Many clips of these available

The 409 stainless doesn't bother me that much down here in Texas. They are relatively cheap, very good fit, appear very "original equipment-ish" with better tips, and if they rust through (I doubt), I'll try something else for fun - maybe the Flowmasters.

 

http://www.yousendit.com/ will take care of that problem and the free account is up to 100MB IIRC

 

I had the opportunity to hear the FRPP Stingers in person and while they didn't sound bad I think I'm going with the GTAs. I actually did not like the tips and think the GTA tips look much better!

What material is used for the stock mufflers? Are they stainless and if so are they 409 or 304?

 

I think the stock mufflers are T-409 stainless steel. If you look carefully, you'll notice that they aren't the typical "garbage can" OEM Ford mufflers.

It's either because Ford used a different supplier, or because of a different internal construction.

 

Just wanted to let you know that your video sold me - just ordered them. Merry Christmas to me!

Thanks for taking the time to make it and post it.

 

I just installed my GTA's this morning. The tone is deeper than stock, but not loud at all. They really are a bit quieter than I was hoping for, but after reading some other posts, it sounds like they might get a little louder with age, at least I'm hoping so. I also have a FRPP X pipe to install (the one that replaces the H section , but keeps the cats intact) I don't know what effect this will have on the sound quality.
