I don't hear any drone. If their is, it does not bother me. I've driven 6 hr trip at 75 to 80 it is quiet. But, you have a V6 so it may not be the same for you. The Roush sounds different on the V6. You should check with someone with a V6.

I just had my Roush axlebacks put on my 2013 Mustang GT a week ago. I drive over an hour to my college and back, and its all interstate. There is no drone, just the beautiful sound of the exhaust !

So this has probably been beaten to death. But do I really NEED a tune if I'm getting an o/r x-pipe? I can afford the x-pipe but I don't really want to shell out the extra dough for a tune if I don't have to. I probably will get one eventually but I like slowly adding mods so I don't get too tired of the car too fast :P
I can live with a CEL, but will there be any troubles other than that?

I only had the Roush axle backs on my 2010 which we all know had the red-headed stepchild 4.6L engine in the new body style. I did have drone on that but it didn't show up until i had about 4k miles on them. It was consistent with 2k RPM. it did not bother me until I took the trip to Albany, NY from Tampa, FL. that's a lot of miles to deal with it. Hopefully the 5.0L engine at 2k RPM don't have this issue.

You're deleting the cats and can hurt your car's performance.

I currently have the borla touring axlebacks on my 2012 GT. I really like them....but after all I read about the roush I thought I just have to give them a try. I can still go back to the borlas when I get older...
My just hope they really are tame enough when I need them to be, especially when cops are near or on roadtrips. I also hope they are not too raspy, it's funny how different the same exhaust can sound in different youtube clips.
well, really looking forward to them!

hello all!
I have the roush axle backs on my car for a bit more than a month now. and I gotta say, WOW they really are loud and proud!!
I really love their sound! I also liked the borla touring, but sometimes they were e bit too tame for my taste. now that problem is definitely solved. at first I was a bit frightened by how loud they were and I thought I couldn't manage it with my right foot to also drive rather quietly. but in the meantime I know how to handle it (or maybe it's just my ears that got used to the increased noise). I'm a rather civilized driver so I'm not doing WOT a lot (where they get REALLY loud), but I also really love their sound in the lower RPM's. it's just a real muscle car burble and gurgle

The Roush is a great sounding exhaust but was a little too loud just driving around town for me. I could keep it pretty mellow on the highway but I was starting to get just a little bit of drone at about 2,000 rpms as the exhaust got some miles on it.

Hi, I am also about to get me new pipes for my 14GT and being torn between the Roush Axle Backs and the Magnaflows Muffler delete 15152's......I am not looking for an obnoxious sound, want it deeeep and not droning.
Anyone who were capable to compare both?
Thx

Muffler deletes are going to drone. The Roushes have *some* drone. If you don't want drone, look elsewhere.

okay, I pulled the trigger on the Magnaflows and I love the sound except the drone @ 2000-2200rpm...I only have the MF since one week and it's already annoying...any suggestions for similar Sound but no drone?
