Have mine installed tyesterday, the drone city JBA's are off the car now.

I like how EASY it is to change these systems out.........

Next week the X is coming, having it Jet Hot coated for more flow/sound !!

Mine are quite a bit louder than stock especially at idle and WOT, but just a little louder than stock and no drone at cruise.
Actually I've found they've 'aged' quite well, I can even hear them @ cruise now also.
Cold start in morning they are quite a step up from stock.Not obnoxiously loud, but have a nice growl to them when pushing the GO pedal. WOT they do sound good.X-pipe might still be down the road, but will probably wait till my 3/36,000 is done with.

I should be getting mine from Ninosports sometime this week or early next week. I plan on running the stock H-pipe for a while. Aircare's description sounds just about what I am looking for.

I just got a new video camera, and I will try to do before and after clips if I can figure out how to use the camera and how to post them.

So did you do the before and after thing? Seems like there is a lot curious folks out there about the sound differences.

I got the video done. However, I need to get a FireWire card for my PC to get the video from my camera on to the PC. I'm looking into it this weekend.

I've just installed mine!!

x-pipe and Supreme GT Axle-back!
Now the Mustang sounds like it should. From the outside at idle, the tone is lower, I would describe it as "heavy", like a V8 exhaust should sound.
From the inside, I actually think that it is more quiet than stock. Perhaps it's my imagination, but the sound is smoother. The "butt o meter" says the car is a bit quicker and easier to rev. In short, no drone, excellent sound. One of the best mods (at a great price) I've done so far.

Thanks for the write up and posts from everyone.
Ordered mine from ninosports Monday, said they would ship Wednesday, actually shipped Tuesday....received Today. (At an unbeatable price!!)

Need a couple hour break after a 14 hour work day and I'll be slapping them on, just in time for a Friday night cruise!!

From the feedback here, and the sound clips, I'm sure I'll be pleased with the results. Will post again with my impression.

Edit:
I'm happy with the results! Noticebly deeper, slitely louder idle tone. When I step on it I can now hear the exhaust over the CAI sound I had with stock. My passenger side was a pain to get lined up, stock it was higher than the driver side. Fought with it for about 45 minutes then decided to loosen the pipe at the H, no problem lining it up then.

One point: If any of you are 'older' like myself, and used to run 'hotrods' with headers and a cherry bomb or sometimes got away with running open headers....don't start your stang with the mufflers removed. I started mine just to hear it, started having backflashes to the good old days...nearly went cruising without the mufflers. However, I go to work before 5am, I'm sure a 'muffler delete' would NOT be a good thing for me to run!!

Again, thanks for all the input. Another happy Shelby GT muffler from Ninosport customer!

Question

I wonder how these GTA's would sound with an O/R X pipe? Anyone have this setup?

I just installed the FRPP X-pipe and I had FRPP/Borla Stingers already. I am in the process of getting the videos downloaded.

For those of you that are not aware, you can always get a 5% discount at Ninosport.com by entering promotion code TMS.com at the end of the ordering process. That lowers the price of the Supreme/GTA mufflers down to $265.95 shipped! We have a few in stock right now and ship the same day in most cases.

See Supreme/GTA Mufflers at Ninosport

It helps to hide the mufflers somewhat.

I started the car with the mufflers off and it was pretty darn loud. It would have been fun to drive around today without them but I didn't. I guess that's what the loudmouths sound like?
I just ordered the supreme GT's and I'm thinking of painting the mufflers black too. Have you had a problem with the paint chipping off?

Here is the link to Richard's soundclips of the before and after GTA muffler install. I might add that the X-Pipe makes them sound even better IMHO

I'll be installing my "used" GTA's this week end....picked up a pair @ The Pomona Swap meet for $70.00....came off a wrecked Hertz Shelby with under 1500 miles. Perfect condition (also got a rear anti-sway bar for $20.00)

If anyone has an "update" on the install or other issues please post.

Thanks

ryan1112, I've had flat black exhaust paint on the backs of my FRPP GTA's for about three months now with no problems. I painted my OEM muffler backs the same way and had them on for over a year with no peel or chip off of the paint.

Thanks, I've had my GTAs for a while now and they have a little surface rust. I'm thinking of taking the rust off with some steel wool and painting them or having them armor coated.
By the way, the GTAs sound great with a Bassani x-pipe and comp cats. If we ever get warm weather again I will post a video.
