exhaust system w/o stamped names on the tips

okay... I want to go aftermarket exhaust. What is out there WITHOUT an engraved name of the exhaust manufactures on the tips. I HATE that... Im paying hundreds of dollers for their system and I have no choice but to advertise for them.. I want a loud system too. Im gonna run the stock cats..

Thanks!!

Go to an exhaust shop and buy some generic tips and have them make you some mufflers deletes.

I hear ya. (sorry for pun) I know these manufacturers are proud of their product, but they lack consideration for their customers.

The GTAs don't have a stamp.

The GTA's aren't loud. I just took off my Borla's and put the GTA's back on and my car has lost it's muscle car sound completely.

Ya know another option, also usually cheaper, is to run an OR-H w/ the stock mufflers and just get some chrome tips... assuming you have a tuner like an X-cal, etc.

It'll give you a CEL, but as far as I know, no actual damage to anything. The CEL is turned off with a set of cheap MIL eliminators (Malfunction Indicator Lamp), or, if you plan on doing additional mods in the future or would like a few extra H.P.'s, then invest in a handheld tuner such as a SCT Xcal 2 / 3, or a Diablosport Predator, etc and when a tune can be written from the vendor to keep the CEL from coming on.

Pypes makes an OR-H that's not very expensive. Your best bet is to look for a used one that was made with their 2 piece design. I don't have any experience w/ any others so I'll let others chime in.

I'm just suggesting this as a way to get that extra bump in sound and performance. Search around and there are TONS of threads with people switching exhausts trying to find the perfect set up, or one w/out drone, etc. The stock muffs actually have great sound and no drone w/ the OR-H.

Oh, and welcome to the Mustang world.

I know you are selling your car Rich but put on longtubes with those GTA's and your opinion will change a bunch. Check it out with CaliHPaddict. It's nasty loud.

Get yourself a Pypes offroad H pipe and try it with the stock mufflers- you may be surprised and like how it sounds.

Those were my GTA's that he put on for the video. It all depends on what kind of a combo you run on how it will sound. I loved the sound of my car and thought is was perfect with the shorty headers, X pipe and Borla's.

I'm running SLP Loudmouths with an otherwise stock exhaust system. It isn't too bad while driving the car, but I always get compliments/complaints from people about it. I can hear myself think and have a conversation while driving "normally."

I don't notice any kind of a drone while cruising at posted speed limits, 20, 30, 45, 65, 70 etc. There are some speeds where it does drone, I just stay away from them and I don't try to load the engine up too much.

For what they are they are in my opinion overpriced and someone could build a set for less money, I was thinking a 2 piece design with stainless tips similar to the 5.0 cars.

I have Pypes Violators and the script on the tips is barely visible. You'd have to stand right at the bumper and look down to see the script. On the road, all you see are 4" stainless tips blaring out a sweet melody.
