1) They honestly have NO DRONE, which means no headaches and no premature hearing issues. Yet they sound GREAT under acceleration.
2) They are completely stainless steel
3) They have very nice tips (IMO, one of the best out there)
4) They have a lifetime warranty
To me it's a case of "you get what you pay for". Also, I've had issues with drone before on other vehicles with aftermarket exhausts, and since my car is a highway driver, no drone was a huge selling point.

Like I said earlier, I'm getting that Pypes mid-muffler setup soon (should be in tomorrow). It costs $300, and it's a whole H-pipe and behind setup, like the catbacks on the older Mustangs are. I'm also told there's no drone and that they sound killer like an older Mustang does. I'm reserving my opinion until I get them on, but if I were you I wouldn't buy an axle-back setup.

Corsas are excellent too but cost $650 or some crazy ****, lol. I would buy Corsas if money wasn't tight.

Not sure if that was directed at me, but Believe it or not I got my Stingers way back when before they got super popular for right around $350 and just bought the X pipe (HiFlos and Race Pipes included) for $250...so yes you are spot on

Hey it's Mike @ GMS...
Feel free to check out our exhausts. I'll hook you up with a good price in return for feedback to the forum members. The quality is definitely there and is reasonably priced as well. T-304 stainless, bolt-on, mandrel bent, mirror polished tips, & 3" mufflers.
PM me if you like the idea.

Is there any difference between the Borla Stingers and the rest of the Stingers????
Right now I cannot decide whether I want SLP Loudmouths, Corsa or Borla axelbacks...

I have the flowmaster setup (from Summit Racing about 1 yr ago for about 275). And personnally I really like them. They dont sound like the old flowmasters of old, but sound really good.
I have heard the muffler set up on the Steeda mustangs, and that sounds really good as well.
the SLP's are a little "poppy and crackly" for me but alot of people like that.
Regular Magnaflows are quieter than stock in my opinion. heard them up close and on take off several times. Have not heard the Magnapacks which are supposed to be louder.
I have heard the MAC axle back as well. that to me sounds really good. I would have got those but my wife did not want a really droning sound, and the MACs I had before really droned. I didnt really care about the drone, they sounded so good.
there are some good exhaust vids on you tube and on streetfire.net maybe those will help you make your decision. Good luck.

I mean, I don't want anything extremely loud, which I feel like I am going to walk into with the SLP loudmouths. I want something that when I start up the car, it sounds like a monster at idle, and doesn't die down after a few seconds at idle like the stock exhaust.
Basically want something louder than stock both inside and outside of the car, and something i can hear when im driving on the highway with the windows up and the tunes cranked.
I guess no axlebacks or muffler replacement will do this for me huh?

So if I were to go and buy 2 Flowmaster 40 Series mufflers and have them installed at my local Meineke shop, will that be the loudest setup possible?

I thought I wanted loud, too...I bought Bassani Race mufflers and they fit the bill...sounded great around the city, but I wanted to blow my head off on the highway. I don't make many highway trips, but it was still the fact that if I had to, it would be annoying. I have the stockers back on and will probably get Corsas next which have no drone at all, and sound pretty loud anyway.
Also, from what I've heard, SLPs don't drone, but they do trumpet. It's all what you can stand.

You could always remove your insulation/sound deadening stuff.
