I know ANOTHER GT 500 axelback thread. Just had mine installed today with the resonators deleted. Took it right out on the highway, between 70 & 85 in 6th gear I swear to god they're QUIETER than my stock GT exhaust !! Love the sound in town & anything above 3k. Anyway, I'm HAPPY !! Scott

 

I thought the same thing. I think it's because of the lower tone. The higher pitch stock exhaust seems more noticeable over wind/road noise.

 

Who do i need to PM to get the forum discount from AM? Going to order them this weekend. Thought heavily between the Borla S Type and the GT500, and I think the Borlas are too loud for my taste.

 

Thank god I didn't order the Gt500s after I read this. I just ordered Borlas cause I want louder

The PO of mine had put on an X-pipe (fine), resonator delete (OK), and Thrush welded axle-backs (WRONG!). Those damned thing were so obnoxiously loud and drone inducing that I actually got to not want to hit the accelerator. GT500s got installed this week and it's just fine now, thank you. It has the snarl and growl that a V8 is supposed to make when you use the slanty pedal, but is simply a nice, deep burble at idle, about the same as a standard GT exhaust. It kicks in with the right hand pedal.

 

Yea I can for sure tell you the GT 500's aren't that loud, I think with the resonator delete it sounds like it should have sounded from the factory if they had got it right to begin with.

I paid $291.00 shipped from A.M. (very well packed) & FAST ship time. Scott

 

Yesir, with a resonator delete these things sound perfect! Riding through town last night, windows down, thought man she sounds tough.

 

Windows down ??? It's snowing here in Michigan today !! Scott

 

You jelly???

 

67 degrees at 3:00pm

No, not jealous in the least lol

 

It feels great, not overbearing. I'd rather it be 67 all summer than 100.

 

True, but I'm in CA, not AZ lol

 

I have a place in Sarasota, starting Monday I'll be there for 3 weeks. Michigan weather really grinds on me !! Scott
