Well,
My wife drove my stang tonight and hit 100 mph on a 35 mph zone! I know unbelivable! Anyway, she tells me babe the exhaust is not loud enough! That surprised the hell out if me because my wife is very girly. Anyway, I think is time to swap my exhaust. I have the Roush axlebacks and looking at the flowmaster outlaws. Any opinions? Are they louder than Roush? Deeper tone? I will be selling the Roush cheap so pm me if interested. Thanks guys!

The Roush isn't loud enough?
Remove the resonators from under the car, it will be lots louder then and you won't have to buy a new axle-back.
If it's still not loud enough then, get a off-road x or H pipe.
If that's not loud enough then you and your girl must be deaf...

Hytek,
Thats a good idea! How much louder will they sound? The other thing that worries me a bit about keeping the Roush is the stupid weld cracks that many have mentioned. Mine are solid so far but who knows if they will crack.

Pull the resonators. It will get louder for sure. Other than that, there are not many mufflers that are louder than the Roush. Full Magnaflow competition cat back, Dynomax Race Bullet catback, Borla ATAK, various muffler deletes like Pypes, Heartthrob, Magnaflow, SLP, Doug Thorley. I have the Roush, X pipe with factory cats and no resonators and you can hear my car 2 miles away if I am in it.

The Roush is much much louder when heard outside of the car IMO
Driving with windows up it does not sound too loud

I started with GT500s and the stock H. The resonator delete really woke that combo up. The X-pipe actually quieted it back down and smoothed it out. I never had the Roush on with the H-pipe. I can say one thing about the combo, it sounds great and I don't find it too raspy.
However, I am contemplating ditching my cats down the road...if that happens I am putting the resonators back in. The Roush mufflers are loud, like crack the throttle and heads snap in your direction all up and down the street, loud. With no cats I am sure it would be even more absurd.

Yummy, sounds good.
How did u go about removing them? I'm really not a fan of "the local muffler shop" working on my car. Probably wind up with a 16" run of pipe that's totally rusted unless they can use SS. Could you get pipe put in that's bolt in or better just to have them weld?
The factory piping is stainless as well right?

I heard a lot of those pipes run pretty bad once the car is lowered. That's why a lot of guys keep the factory pipes. I think they have a flattened area near the axle...
Anybody have fitment issues with aftermarket over axle pipes?
How much did that run u to weld in new pipes?

My car is slightly lowered in the back. I have the 55D springs from Brembo50.com, but they only drop the rear a little over a half inch...just to even the gaps.

I got sick of being obnoxious with the Roush and went to GT500s. One less person giving Mustang driver's a bad name. My Harley exhaust is not stock but not annoying either.
