I would be absolutely livid if this happened to my car. Looking for exhaust - glad I saw this thread before I ordered and glad I found an amazing deal on Borla AB's for only $200 more.

This is why the Roush were 359.00 at the time I bought them. I thought I was getting such a deal. Lesson learned.....you get what you pay for. FRPP sports which I will be getting this spring to replace the Roush are very similar @ 629.00 . There are sound clips on YouTube and late model restoration for the FRPP sports they sound awesome !

I might do the same and get a set of FRPP Sports with an FRPP X-Pipe. I've heard the sports are slightly quieter than the Roushes

As soon as I know what's going on with mine next week I'll pm you. How was it with the Roush's? Obnoxious or clean sounding?

The xpipe cleans it up. Not as raspy little more bass.

Hytek, I'll give you first shot at the x. Right now I'm not ready to move on any upgrades. Too **** cold to take the roushes off or install any parts anyways.

Upon reading this post I ran out to the garage and looked up underneath and found some rust spots in the same exact spot. I too bought in when they were 359 bucks. This sucks

I took my car out today, parked it for a while came back and there were to small puddles of water underneath the car beneath both mufflers . I can't wait to get these off my car. I am so pissed.

Same here. I have two rust colored stains on the garage floor right under them. I have to call Stage 3 tomorrow and see what they're going to do.

Street side auto deal is nice for 600.00 on Borla-s but the FRPP sports have me interested also. Have you heard both?

Neither in person. I've always liked the s-types from the youtube vids. I've read in a lot of places they are very similar if not the same. I wonder how long they'll be on sale there, the coupon coded look like a xmas special.

This car sounds sweet with the s-type catback.

I have heard the same that the borla-s and the FRPP sport are the same. Or that Borla makes the FRPP sports.

I forgot where I found the quote but David Borla commented on one of the mustang forums when this question was brought up. Basically said they spec 'FRPP' or 'OEM' or any other muffler they develop for a b2b client as to they way they want it, which differs from Borla's actual offerings.

From sound clips i've heard/comments I've read the S-types are supposedly a better bang for the buck; that's why I went with the orig Borlas rather than FRPP.
