I will have to disagree with this one. When I had the gt500s, I researched this heavily. Granted I never heard it personally I wish my area had more 5.0 s

FromZto5

FYI.... What I ordered


I'm stoked

Overboost

Thought you didn't have a choice?

conv_stang

This is pretty accurate. At least on the few I've heard in person.

FromZto5

What do you mean? My two choices were the boss or the full borla... Last night, after listening to those YouTube clips literally over 20 times EACH, I decided to go with the full borla setup.

My reasoning was because I LOVE my borla sound, so I was worried that if I put the boss setup, it might clash with the existing borla sound and change the overall sound.

Again, it doesn't matter I think... I couldn't go wrong either way.

Doesn't borla make the gt500 mufflers? Could be mistaking but thought I read that or somebody told me that.

FromZto5

I heard that too, but I don't think it's true. They don't sound the same for sure

whiteboss302

Yea they don't sound the same. I think the super snake uses borla exhaust system as well as the gt 350

FromZto5

Hey side question... The borla x pipe is just a bolt on right? Obviously with stock cats in place.... Since "cat back"

conv_stang

Yes, it unbolts from the factory cat pipes. Pretty easy since you are leaving the converters in place.

Xar

congrats on your upgrades! Can't wait to hear your thoughts after install!

FromZto5

Thanks man... Tbh, I was really considering getting my trusted local shop to do the install this time, the same time as rotating my tires. Not that I can't or don't know how to do it... I've done all of Marilyn's installs myself. It's just that with the 2 kids growing up, I just am running out of time lately...

Thanks xar. You know darn right there will be pics and videos and reviews hahahahaha

=HYPERDRIVE=

I think it goes for everybody, but when I had my local performance shop guy put on my catback, left it in the morning came back for it around lunch time, and the first time you hear it, you will have the biggest grin on your face from ear to ear .

FromZto5

Thanks for your video, man. Yours, and a couple others, were the vids I kept listening to over and over again. Ultimately, it was the borla sound that I was REALLY after. Now with the full catback, it will just be amplified that much more.

Marilyn is still hibernating...... I might have to activate her insurance so I can get her to my shop, then have them do the install and the tire rotation as well. If only the salt and grime from the roads are gone

Burton, I just had the rest of my Borla "catback" installed and Hoooooooollllyyyyyyyy Shhheeeeeeetttt. I never thought I'd fall in love with the car all over again. I have the stypes with borla overaxles and a bassani X pipe. I just prefered their design a lot more. I honestly think it sounds different too.

The only way I can describe it is that its almost like the car has long tubes. Thats the type of tone it has. The car growls now. I mean the sound changed completely. I'm gonna try to get a video, i made one but it sounds nothing like the car in person from in the car.

RedGT12

Can you get quads on a 12'

conv_stang

You mean the boss h-pipe? Or the exhaust tips like the 2013 GT500?

RedGT12

Well I guess it would be the the gt500 exhaust setup.
I saw on a previous thread a while back, someone on a 13' put quads on his gt. And I've looked and haven't seen any for a 12'. Anyone do this on their 12' yet.

PonyMuscletang13

I'm interested in exhaust upgrade as well, the stock is way too quite for a muscle car

Now, came to conclude though everything must balance out. As I understand it, the Exhaust is not just for sound but is more room to breath (exhale), then don't we need to give more room to inhale? Hmm so then we must upgrade the Intake as well...?

Another thing is the dyno(?) tune, supposedly will adjust how much gas will be used or how much air flow will be...its basically reprogramming I heard? So if we're to make changes on a brand new factory car, we need to tune it to run it properly? what happens to the warranty btw?

I'm getting headaches... lol

RedGT12

From what ford told me is " if your mods create/cause problem, then they won't cover it.
But if your mods have nothing to do with the issue then the warranty will stay"

You better believe they'd try to pin it on you, so I wouldn't take anyone's word for it.
