You will love them... especially during cold starts. I have yet to have a passenger that didn't say "whoa" when I turn the key and we hear that pleasant "vroom."
One tip- if you pull the long brackets up just a bit at the ends it will be a LOT easier to get them into the little rubber fittings (and it makes no difference in the fit, because the front of the bracket won't be affected).
Also, you might consider painting the back sides of the mufflers flat black with some hi-temp paint (I like the blacked out look on mine).
Enjoy! They sound 97% as good as the Roush mufflers at a fraction of the price (my neighbor has the Roush mufflers- they sound great too, but they sound pretty close).

You'll love the sound. One tip that was very helpful. Use a bottle jack to support the over-axle pipes - it will help taking the old ones off and aligning the new ones where they connect up.

It is painful working on the car up north in the cold. Put in my oil separator a couple weeks ago and nearly froze. Did have to put in new fittings and change a tube length so it wasn't quite the 2 minute install. But jealous of you guys who have warmer weather!
Definitely take the brackets off the car instead of trying to slide the muffler out. Much easier tha way

here's a clip of mine. Take into account my car is sitting on the lawn beside the house too. On the road it sounds way better too.

best $320 I've ever spent!!!! Totally makes the car drive so much more fun. Even had someone in a Dodge SRT tell me how good my car sounded 5 minutes after install lol.
Thanks to everyone here for the great support into finding right muffler for me

Installed mine the second day I owned my new Mustang. For the money these mufflers are a must have.
Good comment on bending the long hangers upward to make it easier. I did the same after fighting to get them on for a few minutes.
