Its hosted by Acadiana Stangs but there are usually other cars there to. Its a good mix, more mustangs than the others, a few of them are pretty bad***. We usually get there around 7:30 PM, we get a little discount on food. Im usually there every other Thursday due to work. Ill be there next thursday for sure.
We are also having a "Show and Shine" on the 12th of November in Lafayette. They havent messaged me the location or the details yet though. So far there is only me and one other 5.0 there. Need some backup with all these Terminators sitting around! LOL
Anyone else that is close and feels like making a little road trip can message me and I will explain the details or dive directions.

Here are a couple I made today. Two of them were the wife driving my car and the last was from this evening with a slow accelaration.
GT500's with Resonator Delete.

The driving vids next to the car are filmed with my Palm Pre, and the slow accel vid was shot with my flip vid hd camera. The car is stock minus the mufflers/deletes.
edit: fixed the 2nd vid

I'm glad I was able to help. The hardest part is when you do a mod like this and make a few changes, you want to change other things to see if you can improve it, but the bad part is you might not like the change after it's done. But this time when I'm home I'm going to see if I can find a custom exhaust shop to do a all 2.75" H-Pipe with no restriction and see if I can deepen the sound and improve throttle response. That's basically what the Hearthrob system is aft of the cats but before the axlebacks.
I might be able to save a little money and try something different. It should be a good change if it changes at all. And if the sound doesn't change but the throttle response gets better then that's perfect.

Yes, they cut out and welded a straight pipe in its place. Yep, they boxed of the Resonators for me, and last there is no drone. It is definately more audible inside, but no drone.

Another thing I was curious about....... on a scale of 1 - 10, 10 being loudest, where would the GT500's with/without res's fall? I am interested in what you think how loud it got AFTER you deleted the res's, compared to when just GT500's...

How long did process take and how much did they charge? I know it will be different store to store, but just wanted to get an idea. Did they have to remove the entire exhaust to do the whole process? or just do it on car? Also, did you ask them to use stainless and not galvanized?

The best way that I can explain the change in sound it: The same sound/volume increase received from stock - GT500 muffler is realized when going from GT500 - GT500 w/resonator delete.
IMO, the car is about a 5-6 on a sound level. It is not LOUD by any means, but deep/aggressive throughout the rpm range.

They cut the resonators off while on the car, 20 minutes, $40 and no I really didn't care about the stainless. I will only have the car for 2yrs, and they wanted double to install this. It may not look pretty, but I am never going to look at it.

So yeah.... I think my best recourse is to slap on the gt500's, and see how I like em.... then proceed to do res delete if need be.
Your videos show what real world sound will be! Thanks for that... although, I was wondering if you had another vid of you just start/rev/rev/take off? Call me old school, but I still love those types of vids.

Thank you a ton. This explains it perfectly. Yeah, I hear ya on the stainless part. So would be 80 bucks eh. And they cut and welded pipes while on car huh? I figured it'd be dangerous to do welds that close to underside of car? But heck what do I know
