I will post a video next week after I get the xpipe installed. I have put it off 3 times already hopefully the weather will hold up on Monday so I can finally bring it in.

The square tips look cool. But there's no comparison from the Gt500 to these, the GT500's are too quiet.

Do the Roush mufflers have square tips? Because CJ's shows them with round tips. I don't think the square would look good because it doesn't match the opening in the rear valance.

+100000000 for these Axle Backs!!!!! I have had mine for months and I do not even remember what stock sounds like. These are perfect. A little loud at cold startup, but cruising they sound perfect and when you step on it they are not obnoxious enough to attract any unwanted attention. Def. what the car should have sounded like from the factory.

I'm thinking these are just going to be too loud for me as a daily driver living in suburbia.

They sound incredible, but at this point, I think it's going to be the GT500's for me.

They have both. But if you get the square tips you would need to buy the Roush rear valence. The package is in the high 500 price range for the valence and the square tip exhaust if I call correctly. I personally love the round tips more.

They are really not that loud. I live in a suburbia area as well, and I work at 6am. I just fire it up with the garage closed as I leave in the mornings and creep out onto the main street. It's really not that loud unless you step on it. If you get the GT500s it might be too quiet for your taste.

I've gotten numerous thumbs up now then I did b4 haha awesome!

You hit the nail on the head exactly! I've had mine for 2 months plus now and just went behind the car at idle and listened, it's amazing. Some serious power popping back there

HOLY F%#K ING WOW. Installed the axle back today, and it's incredible. Below 2,000 rpm with light/no throttle, she has a nice gargle. Any more than that, she is LOUD. But if you wanted to just creep around without being noticed, that is entirely possible. Every person I drove by in my neighborhood dropped what they were doing. They never noticed before (well, maybe a little). I would say this as loud as I would ever want for a daily driver. Mucho additional stereo volume is required for this setupat higher RPM, if you're wondering. I don't think my wife is going to care for it , honestly, by my kids will love it.

Install was about two hours. I did not remove or loosen the midpipe as indicated in the instructions. I did have to remove the bolts on the panhard bar to get the drivers side muffler off. Exhaust tip alignment issues on the new system took most of my time, and was the only real problem, but thats gonna happen with aftermarket stuff.

If you're on the fence about a couple systems, buy this one for $340.00 from CJ Pony Parts. You will not be able to remove the smile for a long, long time.
