Thanks for the ride Danielle. That was fun! The Borla S does sound nice under throttle but calms down a lot when cruising in overdrive. Won't scramble your brain like poor karrnutt's Roush pipes.
I like open headers myself. But then I get a lot of haters saying there's something wrong with me. Soooo...

Go with the GT500 axlebacks and remove the resonators.
or beter yet....
Go with the Borla.
This is my car w/Borla. in car, top down. Sorry about the wind noise and my amateur driver, lol. God this was the best day ever, roaring through the mountainside. Warm, 77* out, top down, sunny, but not beating sun. Just wish my fiancee wouldn't have been so afraid to wind out the gears. Rapid elevation changes though. It felt like we were going a lot faster than it actually looks like on camera.

Uh, if I remember correctly, Ford makes the GT500...
Ford Racing sells the GT500 mufflers as aftermarket replacements for the GT.
Go through American Muscle to buy, but first contact one of the A/M forum reps and ask for the discount code.

Not sure if added performance is something you want to consider as part of your goal, but if it is you should be aware that borlas and kooks do not produce as much of an increase as other brands. If sound is all you want, borla is fine, but for something more you be better off with a different brand. I used American racing long tubes with my stock axle backs; flowmaster also produces marginally better power more often than not as well. It's worth noting that American racing exhaust products are what the CobraJet uses; the headers fit the exhaust ports perfectly on mustangs. There are several strang owners I've run into around my area that have gone with various different exhausts and they run short of what the speed shop put on mine in terms of horsepower and torque. In one case, my gains in both were higher than the other guy's setup by double digits. His was a borla. Sounded great, but he yanked them and went with American Racing 1 7/8" long tubes.

Interesting.... I spoke to a mechanic. He suggested the Magnaflow 11226 muffler. Can custom fit it using my tips and tubes. Has anyone done this, where you happy in the end and did you get the sound you expected? How can I hear a sound clip on this?

yea after talking to others I'm not going that route. I actually think I may bite the bullet and go for the Borlas. Either S Type or Touring. I know, I know I am all over the map....LOL
