Help me decide on exhaust for my moms 5.0

Yes, my mom bought a performance white 2012 premium gt. she loves it and she wants to black it out. So I figured For christmas. Ill add exhaust for her. My question is what sounds good on these new 5.0s? She wants it to sound aggressive.



I would have a mustang but I'm in the process of finishing up my truck. Supercharger and exhaust.

Wow....you have one of the coolest moms ever! If she wants "aggressive" then I would go with Borla stingers or ataks depending on how aggressive, but if thats a little steep for you, then Roush.

Bassani catback with x crossover. Deep tone, no rasp. In sure most will say roush or gt500 axle backs.

There are some very good ones out there, I opted for the Roush because it was $300 less than the Borlas.. I love the Borlas on our 2006 but for some reason they are alot more expensive for the 2011/12 Mustangs...

Yes they are and not too bad on the price either, about $470 on american muscle. Of course It doesnt get much better than Borla s, in my opinion. I didnt want to spend too much on exhaust so I went with GT500 exhaust which I m happy with, but there not as aggressive as Roush or Borla. I m thinking of getting an offroad x pipe and maybe resonator deletes for a more aggressive tone.

It depends on how much you want to spend. You can't go wrong with Borla. The Gt500 axleback is the best bang for the buck.

The roush axle back is the best bang for your Buck. They're loud enough for people to assume you have a mid pipe, they're super light and when I had them I had zero drone.

They are and get them from Stage 3 Motorsports, talk to John and tell him you chatted with Dave Jacobelli, He will take care of you. They have the best customer service around!

Well, does she like it loud and fast, or quiet and smooth?


The CAR, man, the CAR!

Magnaflow Competition Catback. Love mine. No one thinks I just have an axle back on my car. Would've done the catback, but they didn't offer it with the quad tip exhaust
