Finally ordered Mufflers

After listening to a million different video's I finally decided to go with the Ford Racing Mufflers for my v6 even though they were the most expensive other than the Borla's. It just seemed they had the best sound in my opinion and the fact there is no drone is big with me...not too loud, just deeper and a little louder. Can't wait to put them on.

I also just ordered, I got these Flowmaster Force II #817497
Amazon.com: Flowmaster 817497 Axle-back System 409S - Dual Rear Exit - Force II - Moderate Sound: Automotive Amazon.com: Flowmaster 817497 Axle-back System 409S - Dual Rear Exit - Force II - Moderate Sound: Automotive

They were less then 400 bucks shipped and because I have a Prime account I can return them for free if they aren't what I want.

I was thinking of the Ford setup but could not justify the $$$$.

To me the best clip is in the v6 modifications where the guy put all of the various mufflers sound bytes in one place...there is a 21 second clip of the FRPP that sounds amazing. Expensive but hey, I had to settle for the v6 instead of the 8, so far have only added the hood struts, a leather premium sterring wheel from Rousch ( a steal at only $89 brand new) and the clutch pedal extension...so i am still about $7500 cheaper than an the v8!! i just wanted something a little louder than stock but without any drone...had that once and it drove me nuts...

Usually 2 days from when it ships. If it ships today you should have it by Wednesday.

2 words...love them.

They sound great, no drone at all which was important to me...and at cruise speed not much louder than stock. Highly recommend them. Nail it and they scream...almost a cammy exotic car sound...nice deep burble at idle.
