I'm still a little lost in what I want to do for exhaust. Been back and forth between full systems or muffler videos and I just want some opinions on muffler deletes (if you have heard them in person or have em).

I'm planning on deleting the mufflers, keep the stock resonators, and swap the h pipe to an x. I originally was planning on stainless works but just don't know about spending that much.

What's everyone's opinions on the tone of a muffler delete. The guy at the shop was saying add flowmaster 40s but I don't like their tone that much and EVERYONE has flows. I'm not afraid of loud, I just want a consistent smooth tone. I can tolerate drone as well just not overly excessive. Please help.

 

Sounds like Borla Atak catback would be you're speed.

 

When I had the '07 GT Vert, I had a local shop build some deletes. Used a 4" x 18" chrome tip and they set up the mounts and a fitting so they bolted on just like the stock mufflers. That was $80 back then. Sounded wicked. I would do the same today if I was after that loudness again.

 

I'd recommend the Borla Atak. Add the Boss side exhaust as a little sprinkle on the top.

 

I like Dynomax's race bullett cat back system (p# 39505)

Thanks for all the input guys.

Currently waiting for the x pipe to arrive. Hopefully will have my original plan installed by Friday. Can't wait for this car to finally scream!

 

An update from the shop:

The lethal 409 SS x pipe without the cat deletes is giving the install guy hell. Was completely crooked and was off on the cat hookups by around a 1/2 inch. Can't save the original clamps because of the modifications made to get the x to fit. Currently getting it welded right now. Next the deletes and the 4 inch tips.

 

Sound clip?

 

GT500 mufflers on 2011 GT 5.0 sound pretty sweet. Deep rumble and no drone. See my video with revups and drive bys on my YouTube channel "ssecondo1" Hope it helps you decide.

 

i pulled the mufflers off my 5.0 and they sound fantastic!!!!

 

Are you blowing into them to see how they sound off the car?

 

 

 

isn't that how its done?!?! i deserve this --> i meant it sounds great

 

Must be a noob? Probably the easiest install I've done aside from the CAI, heAders are the headache.

 

He wasn't. The x pipe segment was just poorly manufactured. Got it on in the end. I got the 409 SS piece because it said it was interchangeable with either the stock cats or the included cat deletes.
