Maybe this could help. I used ramps to do my exhaust.

Thanks! I guess with a floor jack you have to do it in stages, I have a set of ramps, but I don't know if they will clear the car. Since I don't have the car yet.

Have a good one

Yes I put the jack under the pumpkin and the stands under the axle.

I backed up onto ramps and did the job in less than an hour. Trick is to loosen the panhard bar on driver side and swing it down

I also agree, sounds the same, just a hair louder at idle, and way awesomer under revs it's also now apparent when it phases to the other cam set. V-Tech just kicked in, yo.
you definitely can hear it.... when the retard is taken out of the intake side she start to speak with authority.. so much that i havent had an M3 talk back to me... yet

Yeah, I left a Charger SRT8 looking ashamed like a dog trotting away with it's head down and it's tail between it's legs last night. I was pleasantly happy.

I don't know what "resonators" you're talking about? But I have a 2013 Boss 302. I removed the side pipe "baffles", which worked very well. I then listened to all the aftermarket, catback, and axleback, systems, costing up to $2200.00. Finally heard Ford Racing GT 500 "Sport" axleback, and they were clearly "the best". Most horsepower, torque, and the best sound too. No rattle or resonance, big block, rumble sound is perfect. Ordered thru American Muscle, but shipped from Ford Racing, Dearborn, Michigan. No sales tax, or shipping charge, $309.99 total. As per Ford Racing's recommendation, got K & N drop in air filter, $47.12. Paid Tuttle-Click $180.00 to install. Mufflers are 3 1/2 inch diameter, straight thru design, with 4 inch tips. Result: 25 ft. lbs. torque, 26-29 hp. Great value for 500 bucks. IMO best exhaust.

resonators are right after the h-pipe. That's what we are talking about.

also there is 0 chance of any real power gain with a muffler swap. Be realistic. With a tune? yeah, I'll give you that 25-30hp all day long.

Just installed my GT500 mufflers last night. They gave WAY more volume than I was expecting based on what everyone here has said. And a fantastic tone. I absolutely love them.

My car, a Boss 302, already has the best "Tune", available, Trackey. More than 600 "adjustments", including exhaust and intake. So yes it does get 25 ft. lbs. torque, and 26-29 hp.

The only "superiority" issue is "who makes the best exhaust system for 2013 Mustangs". For $310.00, the Ford Racing GT500 exhaust puts the others to shame!

So you think your getting an added 29 horsepower from the gt500 axle backs and a k&n drop in filter? Unless you took your cats out, I highly doubt that. From what I hear the track key isn't anything special.

The trackey adjusts parameters so that the vehicle will react more quickly and differently and optimized for circuit racing, it does not add power, neither do the GT500 mufflers and neither does the K&N drop in.
