I bought mine and installed the first day I brought home the car...I researched for hours and this is the best system IMO by far...they also look great with the CS rear diffuser.
Install them yourself!

Also most places carry them, and the prices vary from around $400-$550.
Most places can be had for under $500 shipped.
Good luck!

Lowest Price for FRPP/BORLA Stingers
I purchased part #: M523005GT for 1 Pair of FRPP/BORLA Stingers for $396.90.
I also purchased part # : M5251R Mustang X Pipe for$108.90, the X pipe will enhance the Stingers. I personally talked to a Ford engineer, this is his recommendation. Keep it all Ford ! You can't lose ! The dealer cannot turn you away for warrenty work !!!!!!
TOTAL INCLUDING S/H WAS $525.89 The best price on the planet. John Bleakley Ford in Georgia. Call 1-800-328-8517 ask for Chico Richie. They offer fast shipping and are very friendly. Included in the 2 boxes are complete instructions for installation of X pipe and mufflers.
REMEMBER BORLA makes the FRPP Ford Racing Mufflers, with the Ford Racing logo embossed into the chrome tailpipe. These are factory stainless T-304.

Well, you'll get everyone else's opinion so here's mine...if you're new to muscle cars and are not familiar with the concept of DRONE, stay the hell away from the Borla Stingers. I'll be the forst to admit, they sound bad ***, probably the most perfect setup for an aggressive Mustang sound. People will get out of your way when you have these mufflers, I know!
BUT>>> there's this little issue with brain rattling drone
(technically it's harmonic resonance occuring inside the car's structure) that will make you want to jump out of the car between 1800 and 2200 rpm...which is exactly where you will spend most of your time in normal driving. Some on here have said they love it, some say you can fix it with gears (you can't fix it really, you just end up shifting the RPM range that it drones in) but even though you'll tell yourself you can handle it, it'll be about a month before you just dread getting into that range, and you will change them out. Don't believe me? Check all the for sale forums and you'll see lots of Borlas for sale. The problem is not specific to Borla, lots of straight through mufflers have this problem. I went through several sets and learned the hard way.
So if you want loud and aggressive at WOT, but no drone, go with Corsas or if you just want a better sounding muffler, go with the cheaper FRPP GTAs and an X-pipe. Youll get great sound and have money left over. Also, putin in an X-pipe involves getting a reciprocal saw and cutting your factory pipe. It takes about six minutes to do, and as long as you're not a total moron it's pretty easy, especially if you use the TacoBill write up on TMS. So $120 for the x-pipe and less than $300 for the mufflers, do the work yourself and have a nice steak dinner to boot!

I have JBA stainless mufflers and they sound great also. There is a little bit of drone in that 1800-2200 rpm range, but its not that bad at all IMO. Just something else for you to consider.
Hmmm, now I'm wondering how these would sound with that x-pipe.

No drone with my Violators and you can't beat the price either. Under $200 bucks from Brenspeed. Take the rest of the cash you will save and put it toward other mods or buy the girlfriend something nice on Valentines Day.
