Quad tip GT500 axle-backs and valance installed

Love the sound of these babies! Here me from a quarter mile away. Sweet music. I'll record a sound clip sometime this week. Also, we installed most of the Carbon Fiber too. New spoiler and rear side splitters done. The side rocker panel splitters to go on sometime this week. More pics to come.
Adjustable panhard put on today as well.

The sound is intoxicating!

no not at all. There's a template telling you exactly where to cut the bumper to fit the valance on. The mufflers simply bolt and hang with stock hardware. Detaching and reattaching the bumper assembly is the stressful part.

I bet that'd be a pain but I'm still on the fence about cutting my bumper. Love the way they look and sound…need to just pull the trigger!

I have these same mufflers and love them! Good Choice! I almost went with the Roush, but they were too loud for what I was looking for.

I did not do resonator delete this time around. I will be looking at LT headers, intake etc next quarter, so i'll wait till then. Besides by end of day, with carbon fiber work on the body, i did not want to add to my labour costs

Look great, I never get tired of hearing them. Next addition is the boss side exhaust, then it will sound perfect. I had my valance painted to match the body and get compliments all the time. Here is a picture for reference since it's the same awesome color as yours. You could even extend the stripes down into it.

Agreed! Definitely get the boss sides, the combo is nice.

Darren, those look great, as does your entire car. Well done. Those quads really make the rear end look fantastic. I bet they sound super. Hey, I think we have the same Ford Racing wheels. I see you have the Nitto Invo tires. How are they? Do you track your car? I might consider those...

The nitro Invos are a perfect tire for my use. Low road noise. Good grip. Warm-up time is fair. Look nice too. I don't track my car yet. Shows only.

I'm guessing 255/40 19 front, 285/35 19 rear, correct? I might move up to 265 front and 295 rear. I like Michelin Pilot Super Sports, for combo street and track use.

Looks awesome Darren. I like that GT500 exhaust look.
How do you like the Nitto Invo's?

Looks good. Do these sound the same as the single tip version or do the duel tips on each side make a sound difference. Are the muffler bodies the same?
