2011 GT500 Axleback exhaust...
Does anybody know if any of the "SVT" versions of the axleback they sell at
FRPP is the actual one used on the 2011 GT500?
Thanks

Great, I'll have a look at the FRPP site again, but if my memory is intact I think they had at least 2 different axleback exhausts listed as the "SVT" version.
Wonder which the 2011 GT500 actually as on it from the factory?
I like the Borla's a lot and was fully planning on going that route.
However at nearly $700 for an axleback and then installation charges, it's a bit steep.

The only reason I stated installation charges is because i'm having my FRPP springs and panhard bar put on in the next 2-3 weeks (they come in either late this week or early next, but then I gotta clear my schedule to get them put on too) and figured if the car is up on the lift and it only take like 30 minutes might as well have them slap on the axlebacks for me too.
I so wanted the Borla Tourings, but at twice the cost for axlebacks, doubtful if they are twice as nice sounding as the GT500's.
I also considered catbacks but pretty much every catback has some drone and I don't want to deal with that anymore.
I know Borla claims no drone in their catback, and that may be true, but not going to spend $1400 to find out.

I've been trying to find sound clips of the GT500s on the 2011 GTs. Just noticed that the FRPP site started putting up sound samples for their muffler kits:
http://www.fordracingparts.com/parts...KeyField=12437
The sound quality isn't all that great, but they're enough to give you a decent taste for your ears. After hearing these, it's going to be hard for me to not order up a set and skip shopping for Borlas or Bassanis altogether!

Ordered my GT500 mufflers the other day.
Going to get them put on when my FRPP springs get put on too.
The Borlas were too expensive and the other exhausts I didn't like the sound of well enough.

I am putting a set on my 2010 GT soon. I already put a Magnaflow X pipe and high flow cats on now the car is actually quieter than it was before with the H pipe. I don't want it loud but a little more wouldn't hurt plus the tips are nicer than stock. Greenleaf has take offs for a good price.

Ford Racing's website has them already.
