Here is my 2010 GT. No real mods yet except a Bama tune and some Ford Racing S-5230=SA axel back GT500 KR mufflers (which sound amazing).
Love it! Back in 2009, I almost bought a 2010 just like it, except it had backup cam too. Black/black, HIDs, glass roof, nav and backup cam. Things didn't work out, got laid off and didn't buy one until 7/5/2014, but factory ordered just like it, except silver and with a 5.0

Jon ! You have a very gorgeous 2010 GT Just one question for you though.. What are the differences between the Ford racing GT500 axle backs vs. the GT500KR version ?

Thank you! The non KR's are oval and the KR's are round. I think I had the wrong model numbers in my original post. The model I purchased was M-5230-SA which is for 2010 and black in color. I believe the bumper is different on the 2010 so the tailpipe is a different size than the M-5230-S which is for other years. I have not heard the non KR's in person but there are plenty of videos to give you an idea what they sound like. I believe they are a little quieter than the KR version. The KR's are very throaty, sound mean, and no drone whatsoever!

Oh okay ! Now that I see the pics, the KR's seem to look like the Ford Racing version of the Borla "S" Type which are also referred to as Stingers..
I might be looking into swapping my current Magnaflows for these as my M/flows are a bit too quiet, but I also don't want drone either..
However I'm also still on the fence, as from my understanding the ''S" types were supposedly known for causing drone at least on the 2005-10 4.6 3 valves..
Whether this is accurate or not, I can't confirm one way or the other, but do recall it being brought up on other sites, such as Modular Fords several years ago..
Perhaps the info concerning the drone issue only applied to the 3 valve 4.6 mod motors, but not with the 2011-15 Coyote 5.0 4 valves ?
In the meantime, hopefully both yourself and others can also chime in and verify as to whether or not the drone issues I posted concerning the 4.6 3 valves are accurate
Here are pics of the special interest plates I put on a short while ago.
Nice and man those AM wheels came out so good. It pains me that Ford can't just put wheels like that on the car stock. They must have some deal with the aftermarket companies to put the crappiest, weakest looking wheels on the car from the factory, so there's an opportunity for someone to make even cheaper Chinese knockoffs, but better lol
I thought he got them from AM, but maybe not. There's a few wheel replica vendors that sell the 13-14 "coffin" style optional wheels but 19x9 and 19x10, with a lower offset than the stock 19x8.5...

I sort of recall a post about those now, but I don't remember where exactly. I always liked those wheels on the Mustang. Better than my Brembos anyways.
Just one question for you though.. What are the differences between the Ford racing GT500 axle backs vs. the GT500KR version ?
