They sound good on a stock system. When I installed my JBA short headers, it changed the sound some. When I gutted my cats, the sound was too loud for me and installed my stock axle backs. Now that my car is running good again, I plan to install the JBA's again and see how they sound. The axle backs I would like to get are http://www.zoomersexhaust.com/vehicle_ford_gt.asp they sound really good to me.

I heard those, I like them and the cost is close to Corsca.

If a deep rumble is what you seek, the jba's are nice. However, in that same depp classic musclecar tone is the Mac.

I just installed my Mac's and love them.

Unfortunately I had MAC's and all they did was rattle.I'm sure they figured out the bracket system by now though.

Had them, nice tips, good sound.

Tips stuck out to far and drone city with a AUTO trans.

I have the Ford GTA exhaust and love it (50 state legal)

If you where closer I would let you try them out............

I had them for a very short time. Lots of drone. I had the stainless ones and the had a nice coat of rust on them within a week.

My dad has a '06 Pony Package V-6 that we installed JBA's "true" dual exhaust on. After a while, the mufflers started rattling a lot. He called JBA and was informed that they were having a few problems and would be more than happy to send him a new set once they straighten a few things out. After a couple months, his new set arrived. But after a few miles, the new ones started rattling as well!

Rather than make arrangements to receive a new set and swap them out, he is now running my old Bassani mufflers on his and I have the FRPP / Borla's on mine. I have to say the Bassani's sound great on a V-6. It has a nice, deep rumble. It does drone inside, but that's what he was looking for.

I can't comment on the quality of the mufflers, but I onced got to compare sounds with a fellow TMS member who has them on her car. The JBA's have a nice bark, they have a higher-pitched sound than my bassanis which are much deeper.

I'll move this one to the performance section (I hate moving threads)
