I want to go with Hushpower or the Roush A/Bs. Anyone able to help me make this decision?

 

Most people claim the roushs have zero drone while I've heard the hushpowers do. Borla also has no drone but they're a lot more expensive.

 

Gt 500s with or without resonators are nice. Going with those. Plenty of YouTube videos of them. very cost effective as well.

 

The Roushs have almost no drone whatsoever. Thats what I love about my Roushs.

 

It all depends on what you want to do with the exhaust in the future. If you only want the axlebacks then get the Roush's. If you plan on replacing the stock H-Pipe with an Offroad H or X then I would get a little tamer sounding exhaust like the GT500's.

 

The Hushpowers do drone, but only at 2000-2200 rpms. For me there are times it's annoying, but most of the time I don't notice it. If your one that travels a lot at highway speed I'd suggest getting another exhaust. Just my 2cents!

 

Are you saying the GT500's will be loud with the offroad pipe or that the Roush's will be too much with off road?

 

If you do decide on the Hushpowers i have some for $250 w/ only about 2000 miles use.

 

Well alot of youtube videos later, I think I am looking at the Roush. I will do the A/Bs and a X pipe at the same time. As for being to loud, Im taking my chances.

 

Well based on what other posters are saying on other threads yes. The word obnoxious was used but that is all perception and it really depends on the person and what they like. I found this video with the GT500's and offroad X and they sound way different than mine with no resonaters and with the stock H pipe.

The camera on the Roush video was entirely too close but you can still get a feel for how loud they are with the offroad x.

 

I found this one that compares all three with the offroad X!

+1 on this. Done a lot of highway cruising of late and drone has not been an issue. Sadly when I got mine they didn't have the square tip option which I would go with now in a heart beat.

 

Complaining about drone is for sissys. Go straight pipes.

 

My stock exhaust doesn't have much drone...

 

I just installed the roush a/b's and I can say with certainty that they have no drone. I love how they sound. They are loud when you want them to be (when your getting into it) but when cruising at highway speeds under light throttle they sound perfect not loud not quiet as stock.

 

Kooks/Steeda axle-backs might be a nice consideration. Excellent quality for the price, I think. No drone whatsoever over here with the Kooks cat-back set-up. A little decel popping on occasion... I'm sure an x-pipe could clear that up, but they don't offer that. What they do offer is the option to go full exhaust with long tube headers(cats or non-cats, x or h pipes) if you want to at a later time.

 

I have to say I extremely satisfied with my Roush's. Now that I've put about 500 miles on them the sound is even better. Getting on the gas and throttling it a little is almost like playing an instrument. As for cabin drone...none what so ever. Jumping on the gas getting on the highway tells others get the F outta my way...then drop it in 6th and it purrs like a kitten.

 

Seeing a lot of positive feed back on the Roush AB's and I concur with all of the good things about them. Theres nothing else to say what others have said already, no drone, not too loud at cruise and F'ing sweet at WOT.

 

I went with the Borla ATAK and there is absolutely 0 drone whatsoever...

 

I've got the borla s types and they are perfect. Nice deep rumble when just cruising around and beastly at wot and no drone I can't even hear them on the highway
