Oh yeah babe, I know how my friend. I'm just not that crazy anymore. I'm more of a "get up to the speed limit quick, and then take it easy from there".

Jim! Glad you got the FR500's installed today and pleased with how great they sound on your "07" GT... Also curious about the condition of the FR500's... Hopefully, there was very little to no cosmetic blemishes due from the previous owner? Meanwhile, congrats and thanks for following up brother

Thanks Rocky, luckily they were in great shape, and cleaned up easily. The fella had removed them from his S-197 when he traded for an S-550. He had them stored in his garage.

I know right. Something I should have done when I sold my '06, but nooooooooooooooo, my big old dumb head didn't think a thing about it. Who'ed a thunk Ford Racing would have discontinued them?

BTW that's the third time I changed exhaust on the car since I bought it last month. I'm gettin' to old for that chit........

Jim! I have no doubt that if you had known Ford Performance was going to discontinue production of the FR500S axle-back kit? you would had most definitely uninstalled them before selling your "06" but you didn't know, just as nobody else knew for that matter either...

None of us are mind readers nor have crystal ***** for predicting the future, as I didn't know either, otherwise, I would had purchased the FR500S exhaust before it was too late... Anyhow, we all learn from our mistakes.. In the end, what matters most, is you were able to come across a pair of pre-owned FR500S axle-backs that were taken very good care of by the previous owner, and now you once again have the perfect sounding axle-back mufflers for your 2007 GT

Yeah, I think wanted33 has all the exhaust videos out there. He helped me with my exhaust recently (GT500 axle back) with this video. I was stomping on it a bit today in the higher RPM range in the clean cold mountain air. MAN, that sound is sweet!

Dave, when the wife commented that her '13 didn't sound like a Mustang should, I knew how to fix that. I researched a ton of exhaust, and when it came game time my experience with the FR500s told me to get the Ford Performance for her car. She was happy with them for sure. The best thing is they don't put the sound in the cabin, they put it out the back where it should be. I'm happy to hear they that they suit your needs my friend.

BTW, I thought about installing them myself. But when I watched a video of the installation, I took it right to the muffler shop. The difference in the sound between the 4.6L 3 valve, and the 5.0L Coyote in amazing. I can just hear one, and tell what motor it's coming from.
