Without db measurements, or side-by-side comparrison videos this is basically a worthless argument.

The bottom line is the original poster didn't get what he expected (which was probably more like the Loundmouths), yet the Borla's are generally loud enough for most, and probably too loud for those concerned about exquisite feeling release of liquid waste product off neighbors or cops.

 

If I remember correctlly isn't each succesive Decible twice the loudness of the one before it????

 

That was using the quiet series and not the S-type.

 

I see I still havent finished reading the entire thread

 

So let me get this straight......There are 2 versions of the FRRP exhaust. A quiet and a loud version????

 

:bang: :bang: I give up.



Pete-thanks. As soon as we get them done, I will PM you so that we can get them set up and hosted. You da man!

 

I found the quiet version using Google. If you goto Fordracing.com and click on the "New 05 Parts" they aren't listed. I am interested to hear what these sound like. I wanted to replace my stock mufflers and these might be a good combo with my OR X-pipe.

The part number they used is in the article, it's not the "Q".

 

How many times have we said the same thing now, I lost count

 

From the FRPP site there looks to be 3 different sets of mufflers for the GT

The 49 state M-5230-5GT*

T-304 stainless construction
Proven increase in horsepower and torque
Louder, "throatier" exhaust note
49 state drive-by noise legal (not legal in CA)
Includes mufflers with Ford Racing embossed 3.5" exhaust tips

_= most awesome Loud

The 50 StateM-5230-5GTA*

T-409 stainless body with highly polished 4.0" diameter tips
Louder, "throatier" exhaust note
50 state legal

A = Alternate Loud

The 50 State M-5230-5GTQ*

T-304 stainless construction
Slightly "throatier" exhaust note than stock
50 state drive-by noise legal
Includes mufflers with Ford Racing embossed 3.5" exhaust tips

Q = Quiet

 

I give up :P

 

I'll put another monkey wrench in it!

M-5230-5GT has 4" tips not 3.5". I measured

 

Thank you for letting me know I was actually considering the 50 loud ones because of the 4 inch tips of course I would have needed to hear them compared.

Or did you accidently get the Alternates????

 

How about you guys come to the Tallahasee meet next month and we can all compare them in person?

 

That's a long drive for me!!

 

I disagree with you subzero. With the 4.6 motors...Borlas are one of the top 5 loudest exhaust systems for it. For the 4.6 2V...the only louder setup i've heard is Flowmaster 1-chambers...which have a ton of more rasp/drone.

 

OK, here's my 3 cents worth on the subject.
I ordered the FRPP S-Type & was sent the Q version by mistake. They are an oval, turbo style muffler about 1/2 size of stock (shorter & narrower) with a nice tail pipe. I put them on & they were mariginally deeper than stock & about same as stock loudness. Took em back off & I'm getting the loud, canister type ones.
Was definitely disappointed in the Q sound but I did not take them on a test drive, didn't want to mess em up. I only did a cold start & some engine revving in the yard. Can't wait to get my other ones.

Don't pay any attention to my profile that says I have a Sonic Blue 2005 V-6, cause I traded it about a month ago for a Silver GT. I'll change my profile if I can.

 

But you drive a Mustang, so you can get here a lot faster. Don't mind those pretty blue lights that will pop up behind you, they are for decoration!

 

That's fine...Like I said i gave up on this thread since I know nothing

 

No one is saying that you don't know anything...some are disagreeing and apparently you can't accept that we are disagreeing?
