I like the larger diameter of the tips. They fill the hole below the bumper for them better. But I do like a rolled tip as well.

 

Yep, GT500's. The Wifey loves them on her car.

 

Here is a video of our exhaust system:


Let me know if i can help assist you with one ... http://www.steeda.com/store/steeda-m...515-STEEDA-11/

Thanks for the confirmation. Btw, throw your OEM muffler on a scale, it's a freakin' boat anchor!

 

"not horribly expensive" is relative...

Corsa Extremes or Borla S Types. I've had both, and are marvelous.

 

I guess if you are rich nothing is horribly expensive! For us common folk, $700 is a lot for axle backs.

That said, I would love to have the Corsas. But for now I'm very happy with my Roush axle backs.

 

So far I'm happy with the GT500 exhaust without the resonators deleted. If I could find a pair of GT500 over the axle pipes, I would probably do the delete. I don't want to cut up my factory exhaust or spend over $300 for the Borla OTA pipes.


My factory GT mufflers have the drain holes in them.

Haha agreed, 700 is a bit much for axle backs in my budget. I'm sure they're worth every penny but I don't have that many pennies 😂

I think I'm gonna order them (the GT500's) soon but am waiting to see how the coming weekend might play out with American Muscles's awesome sales. I want to do the resonator deletes and wanted to ask did y'all just go to a local shop and get them done or what?

 

I lucked out and got a set of Borla Ataks for less than Gt500's.

 

Well, went with the Borla S axle backs and love the sound they produce, awesome tips too.... not too cheap, and I did not find them too expansive, $800 CDN tax in and installed, couldn't be happier!!!!!

 

I just installed my GT500 mid pipes and axle backs. I picked them up slightly used (5K miles) for $200 and they sound great! I can't wipe the smile off of my face!

 

I too have the Borla S axlebacks. While they do cost a pretty penny, I'd buy them again in a heartbeat. They sound so good. I smile every time I drive the car because it sounds so mean. Definitely worth the money

 

^ you guys are making me miss my Borla S's.... but then again, I just drove my Corsas today, and I find myself loving that sound/tone too!

 

run one of each. problem solved.

 

Price and sound, you just can't beat Mac. Also stainless mufflers are just for suckers. They don't last any longer than welded aluminum and don't sound as good.

 

The only good answer to this question is the GT-500's. Other than that, cheap exhausts are all going to drone, and drone sucks. Save up for Borlas or Corsas, or go with GT-500's.

 

I went through the midnight auto service at my local dealer. Tech did the job for 40 bucks. I'm at the age that I wouldn't lay on the ground for 40 bucks.

BTW, since I had the GT500's installed I find myself leaving the radio off so I can listen to much sweeter music.

 

My GT500/resonator delete combo does not drone and are quiet at warm idle. They sing nicely when I put some pressure on the fun pedal though!

 

I love my GT500's. Enough of a deep/throaty exhaust without being over the top. It is exactly what I was looking for and wouldn't have it any other way even if I could design my own axle-backs.

 

Does resonator delete just add more volume or does tone change as well?
