I have the Roush and love them but they are a bit loud. They take some getting used to but man do they sound good! I haven't had any complaints from the neighbors but even if I did I wouldn't care. If you are worried about it being too loud you might want to look at the GT500s.

Seriously!? THe Hushpowers are quieter than the ROUSH AB's and deeper/more mellow than the GT500's. THe GT500's seem like a real open sound, where the Hushpowers are a lot deeper.

My vote is the Hushpowers over any of the other two for what you are looking for. Have you heard any of them in person? The GT500's are a great choice for the price though. if you can, try to find a used set. I got my hands on a set from a guy who sent his car to Shelby to have it SuperSnaked. Im not so sure I will go with them though. Might save up the money and get teh Hushpowers.

I have the GT500s and they're perfect in my opinion. Just loud enough with the rumble I wanted. Quiet when I'm cruising on the highway and great sound when I'm getting on it. No drone.

I actually removed my sound tube because all I wanted to hear was my exhaust.

If you're in your forties get the GT500. Thirties, get Roush. Twenties, just cut them off.

I thought the hushpowers were louder! Hmmm, another option for us. Might have to check them out

I'll be honest with u have two friends that went gt500 AB's they both took them off and sold them when they heard my roush in person! They both now have roush and are 110% happier with there exhaust tone. If u want slightly louder than stock go gt500 but the vibe I get from ur post is u want a in the middle tone this is the roush. Note that they get alil loud at WOT but what great sounding exhaust dosen't! This is my opinion

I agree, it sounds like the Roush is your better choice. Don't worry about the loudness, you'll learn to control it...I did and I live in a townhouse where my neighbors are almost right above my garage. Think of it like playing an electric guitar, you can wake your neighbors if you really want to, or you can be responsible with it and play sweet music all night long. Just remember, they're loud at WOT, are you going to be WOT all the time....probably not. Search for a good deal, if your not happy at least you won't be at a huge loss selling them. BlueOvalIndustries on Ebay seems to have the best price @ $369.95 with $25 shipping. AM and the rest appear to have raised their prices to $499. Blue Oval is good, I've ordered some things from them and their shipping is fast. Good luck, I'm sure you'll be happy with either one you go with.

Bmeline,

You are correct on your comments! Im looking for a semi agressive tone. After all it is a muscle car and not a honda! I have heard that a loud exhaust with drone gets old after a while. My biggest fear is buying an exhaust that is too loud or not loud enough. Roush sounds like a great choice. The hushpowers have good reviews also but not as good as the Roush.

If you're interested in the Roush axle backs, shoot me a PM and I'll see what I can do on price for you. I'm an authorized Roush dealer.

Hytek,

Thanks for the advise! I did see them on ebay and I think everyone else has raised the prices due to the high demand which makes me believe they are good. The hushpowers sound good on you tube but I hear better things about the Roush. Plus, Roush is afiliated with Ford. I am having a blast with my new Pony!

Prices have gone up because as of October 12, 2011 Roush has started a new MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) policy. Although the idea is to level the playing field for smaller retailers like myself it also prevents me from publicly offering a lower price - which is why I asked for anyone interested in a price quote on the Roush axle backs to PM me.

Hope that helps,

Steve

This is good to hear. I have the GT500s sitting in my garage waiting... and I was just wondering if I made the right choice. I listened to the Roush's again online, and I just think they're too "wide open" imo... just seems too drag car like/etc. My wife actually said, "That sounds like it's going to stall"... lol. But anyways, that's why I went with the GT500.

Can you please elaborate on removing the "sound tube"?

I've got the roush and my dad has the gt500 . . . roush are much louder and I think they were 11 lbs less each side. It's crazy the difference, you can see right through the roush.

I was going to sell my GT500's because I wanted louder. I had my resonators cut out and now I love the GT500's. They remind me of the old Flowmaster 40 series without the drone. My GT500's are loud enough now where my wife can hear me a few blocks away and I have no drone.

Roelito78

Well, I ordered the GT 500s! After doing reasearch for a week I chose the 500s. I hope I am not dissapointed. My decision was based solely on opinions and loudness factor. Many stores are sold out of the GT500s so that can be a good sign. Also, 269.00 shipped frim AM was a bargain. Cant wait to get them in and install them! I will try them out and see what happens. Thanks guys!

I had gt500s on my '05... Way too quiet for my taste
