So torn Between exhausts!! Now people are saying Roush's with an off road X sound like crap...Hmmm what do I do.....Iwant the car loud but drone can be annoying, tho its never bothered me too much, then again I was only a young buck at that time lol
Tell me about it. There are more than a handful of 370Z turned 5.0 or GT500 owners!

The sound change is significant IMHO. Here is my 5.0 with a comparison video....

great video ... thanks! I was worried you we're going to hit that white car when you pulled out the 1st time though! So did you get the FRPP _actual_ GT500's or like the American Muscle ones (which I think are "like" OEM)?

Yes the drive is a bit tight! Helps if the wife parks her Swift more neatly!

So who is running the GT500 axle backs with an X pipe? Curious as to how it sounds.
If I keep my Mustang I am toying with the idea of toning it down a little bit... it's quite loud with the FRPP Sports (though it sounds absolutely fantastic), borderline obnoxious. I need the car to be as "grown up" as I possible can as long as I keep driving it to work.

I just ordered a set for my car from Blue oval industries.They show them in stock so hopefully they will ship this week.
I've changed my whole exhaust and now have ARH longtubes with o/r X pipe and the stock catback and the sound is very nice.
It's actually as quiet as stock at idle but you can tell It's far from stock when I get on it.My car would have been way to loud with the Magnaflow comp series exhaust and LT headers.
I think it will be perfect with the GT500 mufflers.

here's mine. Sounds soooo much better than stock but still just a tad on the quiet side. I think no resonators would make it perfect.

hahaha yes, they will be installed by me don't worry...if i've ripped apart my whole interior to install a light bar...taking a couple bolts off for a axleback isn't going to be a big deal lol
I got mine locally from someone, they are brand new take offs of a gt500...and boy do they look great! loving how the 4inch opening looks!

went to the Ford dealer to order gt500 exhaust. He gave me a price of $365 for each exhaust..I told him i could get them for $300 for both. He also told me the mufflers now have different manufacturer part number? Does anyone know if they changed the muffler for the better? I know ill have to get the muffler elsewhere

Well I thought it was to good to be true 
I cancelled my order for the GT500 after Blue oval changed the status from instock to backordered.
They were easy to work with and gave me a full refund no problemo.I have now decided to go with the new Gibson axle back for 2011 5.0
they have a mellow sound that should not be to loud with my longtubes
