I'm going to delete the resonators tomorrow, and then pick up an X pipe. My question for the guys that have been here before is which brand X pipe is the best fitting (least amount of hassle) and best bang for the BIC so to speak?

I did this mod with quads and valence for under 500.00. One of my best mods yet. I added the Boss 302 quads also and it sounds awesome .

How did you accomplish it that cheap?

Used take off parts?

New costs a lot more than that and the used stuff is few and far between.

Think long and hard about this before getting too deep into it. The 13-14 GT500 mufflers look kind of neat on a GT with the GT500 lower valance but they sure don't sound as good as the older single tip GT500 mufflers.

Buy something else you like the sound of and save some headaches and $$$ and enjoy listening to them as you roll down the road.

First, I love the look of the quad tips and from what I've heard, they sound good too. I also like the Borla (non quad tips) but I hate that the tips stick out so far. It's like they want to make sure everyone sees the name on their tip and they didn't give a rats a** about the overall appearance.

You can adjust the mufflers with/at the mid section. It is a couple of bolts. this will adjust how far out your tips are. . Unless the tips are excessive in length, but you can get away with an inch or more in my experience.
It's actually hard to find a factory exhaust that is dead on adjusted on both sides.

There's a few threads from new Borla owners that said they adjusted all they could and the tips still stuck out more than they should. Now, I have read that there was a change for the '13-'14 mustangs but I haven't seen any installed pics yet.

Plus Borla is supposed to release a black version of their exhaust .... That might win me over.
