If you don't mind loud and want to save some bucks go Roush, if money Isnt an issue go with the Borlas. I liked the borla but unwanted loud but I don't like the ATAKs and I think the S may not be loud enough for me.

Now I will say if you plan on getting longtubes or an off road x pipe stay away from the Roush. They get so loud it doesn't sound good at all...
I also have the Roush's and love them, especially when downshifting they crackle like crazy. At high rpm they are a bit raspy but overall sound great to me.

That's one of the reasons you pay a premium for them; nobody says there's any kind of drone.

Nothing but praise . Perfect exhaust. No drone whatsoever.

You can't go wrong with the Borlas! I got the ATAK and will never look back . There is no drone at all and simply sounds phenomenal in person! And the volume really only gets loud when you raise the RPM past 3000, so you can keep quiet if you want. However I find that hard to do because I constantly want to hear my exhaust! Sound clips don't do this exhaust justice, but i'll post my video anyway.

I love it. I understand when people say they're raspy and they are. That's what I love about them and they're ridiculously loud when you romp on them.

thanks Josh
I have a borla catback for sale. Send me a pm if interested.

I have this same setup and love it! Rumble on normal drive and loud ( not raspy) at the higher rpm. I got alot of compliments on the sound.

His post sums it up.

S-Type sounds good, but is more expensive and not as loud as the Roush. That rust issue did exist, but Roush has claimed that they fixed it and have replaced rusted mufflers without any hassle.

The Roush only gets raspy under WOT above 3k, where it turns into an entirely different beast and the decibels go off the charts. That's what I like about them. Everything below 3k during normal driving, it's deep and impressive.

My Roush ABs get compliments from both Mopar and Chevy guys - even strangers that start the conversation with "I don't like Mustangs, but that sounds ****in beast." One time, some guy in a red truck pulled up to tell me how "primal" the exhaust sounded. Rev match downshifting is music to my ears.

This is a video I recorded of my friends who both also have the Roush ABs. When the three of us roll together, it definitely brings attention. Video is kind of wack but it shows the Roush under normal and hard acceleration.
