I was talking about the Stainless Works "sideburners" not the 302.

Does anyone know how much more weight this H pipe will add? Also, what gt500 mufflers is everyone talking about? I see two on the ford racing website

Weight gain, if any, is negligible.I wouldn't worry about it. As far as the gt500 mufflers, someone else can chime in with the exact part #, but it's the exact one that comes with Shelby gt500s

I was wondering if anyone had some video/sound clips with the Quads (no restrictors) and any muffler delete axle-backs, such as SLP's or similar?

Wondering what it would do sound wise? NASCAR sound levels? LOL

LOL... My neighbors will appreciate it in the morning, when firing up!

I sent your friend a PM to see what his experience/input is...

But as more as I think about it, the more I want those sides!!!

I'm putting my Boss 302 side exhaust on my 2012 GT tomorrow and I will post a video. I also will be running the GT500 axle backs. There is an article that showed a HP increase of 7-9 with the Boss exhaust and no baffles.

I’ve done a lot of things to my ride and for some reason I’m really trying to wrap my head around spending $700 for a little more sound. I like what SW has done with the side burners (link below). Has anyone installed these? I like the video SW put up showing the side by side. Anyone do this with the Boss quad exhaust? Somebody convince me that it’s worth the money…please…As anyone done a step by step install with pics?

Please please please post these videos. This is the setup I am going for (already have the gt500s)...deciding on if I want the boss or a borla. Haven't really found a good video of this

Alright i installed mine today. Those bolts facing up were killer's! WD-40 was my friend. I just sprayed the flange and let it sit for 10 minutes. I used ratcheting wrenches, two post lift and a air gun with deep sockets. I found the next set of coupler's kind of funny. On each side one bolt was a 15 mm the other a 14 mm. Was Ford trying to be funny? Anyways, with my Roush ab's and the flange out i cannot hear them anymore. This thing with the window's down is pretty loud! In fifth and six cruising inside is quite.

Although i have this weird sound (like clinking or something) coming for the side pipe when coming to a stop. I'm not sure what it is. Either way i think i'm about to order some cutouts. Speaking of cutouts on QTP's site there is one dealer in Va. Beach. So i called to see what they would charge me to install them. Every place i try to get things installed attempt to gouge me. If i can work on a $10 million sonar in the Navy i can wire in some cutouts...but i wanted to see anyways. So this place tells me to buy and install them $800...wtf! So $400 labor....lol! Classic, but i digress! I'm trying to figure out how these businesses stay afloat (I guess from gullible people paying for it). Anyways, is there a step by step guide out there to wire them up?

I had a rattle on my boss when I first bought it. the side pipes need a fingers clearance all the way back.

I am in the navy as well and I know what you are talking about lol. there is a write up on bossmutangsonline somewhere. and there are threads on how to get the set up rattle noise free.

Looks like your passenger-side sidepipe may be too close to the underside. There needs to be a little more clearance. Most Boss owners have experienced similar noises after playing with the restrictor plates. You should have no problem making the noise go away.
