I'd like to see a clip of the inside cabin while crusing. Has to be rough.

So tell me, if I buy GTA's, are they a match with tubing inlet diameter to the GT/CS existing pipes?

They are getting very hard to find for sure and prices are starting to creep up.

rpmoutlet seems to still have them if our usual suspects can't get them. I work at an FRPP dealership and they've been on backorder for months.

Probably, Supreme muffler is out of capacity to make these for production and the large aftermarket demand at the same time.

The exhaust is the same on all gt cars. They fit fine on the shelby GT which uses the same facia, so it should be no worries. I did order them from rpmoutlet the other day and that night had a tracking number and was already on its way, getting them monday. Just a hair more expensive then before but still under $300 shipped.

Better beat feet, they are dropping off websites everytime I was checking prices last week. Everyone will be on backorder in no time.

Great, ordered mine last week also, from Ninosport. Never called about delivery though, just figured I be suprised when they showed up. I should also be able to expect them soon. Now I'm pumped, maybe I can get them on by Memorial Day!

Got an email today saying shipment was delayed by 1 day. Maybe Memorial Day will just be a 3M (memorial mod memory).

Received GTA's from Ninosports today, here they are;
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/a.../1AxleBack.jpg
Here's the sound levels taken from one foot;

1200 rpm, Originals=92 db, GTA's=97db
2000 rpm, Originals=99 db, GTA's=105 db
3000 rpm, Originals=97 db, GTA's=105 db
db means decibels, not dumb blondes.

Install was easy on pass. side, more difficult on Driver's side (had to remove all hangar brackets).

Thomas, I started on the passenger side and it was a breeze, maybe 15-25 minutes. I unbolted the rear hangar first, never touched the front muffler hangar.
I figured I was on easy street ....
So I ate lunch and went back to do the driver's side. A slight PITA. Although it looked identical, I had a real problem getting the original off. I ended up using an open-end wrench and took off the front muffler hangar. You'll see what I mean if you have to do the same. I guess the intermediate pipe on the driver's side was maybe a 1/4" longer, therefore the problem. Anyway, I did take my time, maybe an hour for the side. Not too bad.

edit:you'll need metric tools, still can't get used to American Muscle in metric...

Fianlly got these installed.... will post pics up later...these were a PITA...the driver side was most deff. the harder of the two... I went ahead and just took off both of the Rubber mounting brackets!
God does it sound nice now..and I notice a lot better low end umph
Hopefully this won't cause me to use a heavier foot!!

Now I just need to figure out what to do with my GT/CS exhaust??

Glad you got them installed. I wondered what happened. Look forward to your pics. They do sound pretty good. I wonder why Ford didn't make these standard on the GT/CS?
Like I said, mine wasn't too bad, except for the Dr-side.
I packed my originals in the box and stored them. Maybe someday they'll have value to someone, at least more than scrap metal.
