Reason I ask is that a friend of mine is picking up a 2010 GT500 this weekend and I want to get the GT500 axle back for my car when it shows up but if I can get someone's take off's, I would much prefer that than buying them new.

my biggest question though is whether or not the 2010 axle back setup is different from the 2011's. I don't want to bother if I'll just have to turn around and take it to an exhaust shop to modify to fit the 2011/12 hangers or axle pipes. That's too much trouble to be worth whatever savings I can get buying someone's used mufflers.

I've tried asking in the classifieds over at SVT performance to buy someone's takeoffs but haven't heard anything from anyone.

 

Biggest difference is the pipe hookup, it is slip fit on 2010 and a ball socket on 2011.

 

from the pictures of aftermarket 2010 setups, that's what I was thinking and afraid of. Seems like it'd be more trouble than it's worth. They're only $275 from late model resto I believe but obviously the more I can save buying used, the better.

 

I think the mufflers have three hangers on the 2011 and only 2 on the 2010, also
