Here's that clip I told ya about with the SSW. If I could sum it up in 1 word...that would be RACECAR!

If this is someone's car on here....Nice job!!

 

What kind of deals are you guys getting? I'm thinking of getting the roush axlebacks and am shopping for them now. Appreciate any info...

 

I think anything under $400 and you did good. When I got mine in April or May CJ was running a special and I think I paid $340 shipped but that was the cheapest I had seen them . . .

 

Thats a good deal. Gonna have to keep my eye out. I don't want to wait forever but like you said, under 400 is what I remember seeing as a decent sale price.

Thanks man.

 

That sounds pretty good. But my neighbor's would hate me. They already give me weird looks with the Roush AB.

 

Since I have an after-cat X-Pipe, I will chime in. My setup is a Pypes 3 inch after-cat X-pipe, resonators deleted and a GT500 axle back.

First of all, if you want to do this all bolt-up, make sure the X-pipe necks down to 2.75 inches before the exhaust. Either that, or get a 3 inch to 2.75 inch band clamp. I had to get mine welded in because I did not know about, or have the band clamps.

The GT500s and deleted resonators was pretty loud with the stock H-pipe. I figured the improved scavenging of the X, plus the full 3 inch pipe (as opposed to the 3 different sized stock H) would greatly improve flow and increase noise as well. While it likely did benefit flow, it acually quieted down the exhaust. The H pipe was much more choppy and had an abundance of popping and burbling on decelaration. This is mostly gone now, replaced by a smooth higher pitched wail under load. I am an X-pipe guy, but if you want that classic "musclecar" sound that so many people favor, you want to stick with the stock H or go with an aftermarket H. I can tell you that the GT500s, the H and no resonators was loud.

Here are some videos. I am also going to shoot an outside video or two this weekend of the current setup:

I wish SW made just an axleback. I would like to try that, but don't want to replace the entire catback.

I had the exhaust already, he's hooking me up with the square tips cheaper than Roush directly. When I got the exhaust the round tips were all that was available without special ordering through the dealership and I was impatient lol.

 

I have the SW's full exhaust with the roush AB's! If u want to hear them pm me ur email

 

Pm sent

 

Yah I tried the AM pricing someone put up (supposed to be 399) and I can't get it that low. The starting price is 469, even after the 6% off its still over 440.

 

Not sure if you are still in the market but, here is my set up with the Roush Axle back and the Ford Racing after cat x pipe. I really like the sound and less than 600 dollars too!!!

 

Yours is one of the clearest sounding vids I've heard yet. Sounds good!

 

wtf happened to the pricing on roush ABs? last I looked they were well under $400

 

Thanks! I really tried to set up the camera so that you could really hear the exhaust sound vs. just hearing the mic breaking up due to the volume.

Over all for this exhaust set up I am very pleased. I do like the Kooks cat back with an x pipe too, but for the difference in price... I am happy!!!

 

I really want to get a full exhaust sometime soon, but I think I'll be ditching the Roush's to go with a chambered muffler when I do.

 

Yes I am actually still in the market and mac thanks a ton for posting that vid!!! It basically made up my mind.

I really wanted the Kooks exhaust in the video I posted with the black car, but that car is the kooks FULL exhaust. I heard a car with an o/r x and the kooks axleback and it doesnt sound the same cause of the factory resonators, which would mean I have to get the full catback and than the o/r x which would be just as expensive as the Borla.

I think I am just going to get the roush axlebacks with the after cat x for now, since I cant take how disgustingly quiet this car is (I came from a 2010 with longtubes, o/r x and borla stingers lol), and than maybe in the spring when I have a little bit more cash change it for a kooks full exhaust if I really want to. I dont want to tune for a while and I'm not crazy about using 02 non foulers to keep the CEL off, and the Roush's dont sound too far off from the Borlas and are less than 1/2 the price.

 

Guess my set up was to loud for u!?lol

 

I like it. It's my neighbors who would have a problem. It wouldn't be so bad if my neighbors weren't right above my garage.

 

That sucks! Glad I don't have that problem

 

Yea I got annoying neighbors upstairs above the garage... I only take it for runs once or maybe twice a week on a Sunday and I still get annoyed.... I only have The Borla S type axlebacks :-/
