'13 GT Axle Back Exhaust
I'm sure this has been discussed before but I'm a new member here... I'm looking to put some affordable axle back exhaust for my '13 GT but don't want that raspy and popping sound that some have. I don't want it to sound like an import. I was thinking of the Flowmaster Outlaws because I've heard they have the deep and low vintage musclecar sound to them. Plus, they're nice and cheap! Can anyone tell me if they're too loud for daily highway use? Drone etc. I'm not paying $700+ for an axle back system.

I researched this very thoroughly and was going to get the the Flowmasters because I didn't want to spend a lot of money. But I heard the Borla's on youtube and I was instantly sold on the Borla's even though they are more expensive. It is worth every penny, loud when you want it to be and a quite at highway speeds. The Borla's are more aggressive then any line of Flowmasters but I am completely satisfied that I spent a little more and got the better quality. American Muscle will price match Jegs on the Borlas for 650 if you call them. They retail for 850+.

I just ordered the Outlaws myself yesterday, of all the video clips those are the ones I like the sound of best but they are very loud, about one step down from straight pipes. I found the best price at Autoplicity.com, $343 shipped.
Whether they are too loud is a subjective matter, you'd have to decide that for yourself.
You might want to consider a take-off set of 11-12 GT500 mufflers, I've seen them as cheap as $100 on ebay or craigslist and new they are about $310. They aren't as loud as some but a good step up from the regular GT.

Do you still have the outlaws on? Use it for daily driving?

Borla S-type has no drone, all the customer's I've sold to regarding the axle-backs I've asked and all have been very happy. Give us a shout, there are many brands out there for a great price. Two companies I really like are Kooks axleback and MRT-Direct Axle backs.

The borla s-type will get you there, if you only plan on running an axle back or full headers the Borla mufflers sound great regardless. They're a little pricey though. To me, the next best thing are the kooks axle backs. Both are great quality and sound awesome.

I've had the Kooks axle backs on my 11 GT for a couple weeks now. No drone and they have that muscle car sound I was looking for. You won't be disappointed. I picked mine up from eBay "gently" used 
If you're looking for YouTube clips to listen to them, search Steeda axle backs too since they're the same as the Kooks.

Gt500s are perfect, No drone at any rpms and a nice deep tone when you step on it. Once you put on an h or x pipe and a set of long tubes you will be good to go. Very loud at WOT and very quiet at cruising speeds with out any drone.
Here are a couple clips of mine
