Roush vs. Hushpower vs. GT500 vid - with X pipe!

From previous posts, some of you know that I have been on a quest for the perfect exhaust, and finally my quest is over!

OR X + GT500 FTW!!!

This setup has the best of all worlds, at least for me:

1. NO DRONE!!!!!!!!!
2. NO DRONE!!!!!!!!!
3. NO DRONE!!!!!!!!!
4. Quiet at cruising - I can hear my new speakers!!!
5. Great sound when on the throttle!!!
6. Ability to "run quiet" - for instance, around the boys in blue ;-)
7. NO DRONE!!!!!!!!!

After having the roushes and the HPs, there's no way I could imagine driving this car without loudness on acceleration...

I've updated my earlier video that compared the Roush ABs to the HushPower ABs, now I also added the GT500 ABs.

I have a Lethal Off-Road X pipe (no cats), stock over-axle pipes and stock resonators.

The only change in the video is the axle backs themselves.

Here is the link to the video:

Great comparison video. Did you actually buy all three exhausts?

Accelerating at near W.O.T. while snowmobiles are frolicking next to the road in the snow?!? What the heck?

I couldn't tell clutch slip from tire slip!

Great video. I still like the Roush I think they are bad *** but my car is not a daily driver I can see how it could be too much. Glad you found the right combo.

In my opinion you will get a better sounding and better performing exhaust setup by replacing all of the exhaust components not just an axleback!! The factory headers are tiny! And the factory piping has crushing everywhere and is also tiny as well as the mufflers are huge!! If you want a a better sounding and performing setup at least get a cat back system!!

Definitely one of the best exhaust comparison vids that I've seen/heard. Great job!

I'm not a fan of drone either, but.... I personally like the Roush the best, then HPs... then GT500s, which still sounds awesome!

Thanks!

I just thought I might be able to help others, since there seems to be a lack of videos with the X pipe.
