GT500 Quad Exhaust or Borla S?
What do you think produces a meaner sound? I might be getting my hands on a DIB GT in a few weeks, if everything goes to plan. First mod will be exhaust. Which would you choose, GT500 Quad or Borla S?

I'm debating the same thing for the DIB GT I have ordered haha.
I'm leaning towards the borla S because it seems like gt500 mufflers aren't much louder than stock based on videos I've heard. I do really like the look of the quad exhaust though and I bet it would sound amazing if you add longtubes or a high flow/no cat mid pipe.

Borlas with resonators cut out gets my vote...I'm a little biased tho ![Big Grin](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Pardon the crappy quality and wind noise. I was at my parents house after just getting the resonators out and it was my only opportunity to get a video...
Hoping to get a better video of some actual driving soon.

You should really take a look into the stainless works cat back which is close to the same price as the borla axle back. We've installed a few of these conversions with the SW and they sounds incredible. The quality is there as well with the 300 series stainless and the fitment was perfect.

Okay now I'm searching for the SW quad setup on youtube. I liked the Borla vid when the rev hits and the kid jumps. I want to heel toe and make little old ladies check their pacemakers.
