I may have to. I spent 2.5 hours tonight installing the gt/Cs lights which should of took no more then an hour. I'm all scrapped up and my arms look like I went emo on myself and had a cutting spree. Thank god I'm not lowered bc I would have never been able to squeeze my head under there. It was such a pita but it got done.

Joey, sorry for jacking... Your car looks sweet. I love that CDC grille.
No worries man. And thanks I'm liking it to very aggressive look. We will see how the radiator or whatever that metal screen thingy that's exposed is holds up

Update. Chin spoiler is going in Wednesday to get painted along with the car to fix a few chips and imperfections. Charging 150 for the paint and install which I didn't think was to bad considering its the dealership's body shop we're talking about here. Borlas should be at my doorstep when I get outta work today!!! So excited right now I feel like a kid on Christmas.

Axle backs. I wasn't sure if the gt500 cat back would be the same for the 5.0 and as you no I wanted to quad tip axle backs. The 5.0 catback only comes with the single tip not dual.

Cool thanks. After talking to a couple guys it seems you only cut around the exhaust part to make room for the dual outlet on the gt500 valance. And ford includes lines on well for guidance!

Borla Stinger Axleback Exhaust (Aggressive)- 2013+ Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 (5.8L)

Part#: 11830
$1,094.99 $852.34
I got them from marylandspeed.com. It was the cheapest I could find them at 850 with free shipping. Packaging was great and shipped from borla directly. You also need the gt500 rear valance which I found at Levittown ford for 160 + shipping.

Thanks for the info. What do these mufflers compare to sound-wise - the S-type or the ATAK or ??

Edit - just checked the site you mentioned - these are S-type mufflers. Sweet!!!

Ahh please don't remind me haha. The dual tip vs the single tip is like a 300 dollar difference. Plus the rear valance. So yeah you're looking at a grand for the valance + axle backs. The sound and looks better be worth every penny haha.

You won't be disappointed with Borlas. I have 3 hats now, that they've sent me over the course of me ordering the AB's, then the full... their customer service is EXCELLENT, and their craftmanship is stellar. The sound is out of this world. It's the only "mod" I have considered sticking the sticker of (they come with one) under my hood somewhere... but no, all stickers belong in the garage

I can't wait to hear how the install goes, and hear how she sounds with those gorgeous and sexy quad tips!! Hurry up and get those puppies installed!

Do you need any special clips or anything to install the Shelby valance to the bumper cover?

I've been told mixed things. Some people I talked to said yes others no. I ordered a bunch if clips from a guy who listed some part numbers on. Thread just to be safe. Hopefully they get here before the weekend. If not I'm just going to hope you don't need them hah.
