I see lots of posts of people swapping out the factory GT mufflers for aftermarket axle backs (which makes sense- just installed the GT500s, and they sound much better than stock).

However, I now have 40 pounds of mufflers sitting in the garage taking up space. I'm assuming there is absolutely zero demand for these things- since everyone who converts is converting away from them. I don't suppose they can be used as a V6 upgrade or anything?

 

I think the V6 pipes are a different diameter? You're probably right that the market is pretty small. Best bet is to find a local buyer as shipping will exceed the value of the mufflers.

 

I couldn't give mine away. So they went into the garbage

 

Trash em. I laugh when I see guys post them for 100$. A boat anchor may work.

 

I kept mine from my V6. When I sold it, I put the stock ones back on. I figure I can get some money back by selling them separately.

 

very true.. i too was stupid putting them on sale on craig/ebay to find that no one wants these... so finally i trashed em.

 

I will keep my stock ones too when I upgrade. Doubtful anyone would want the factory GT mufflers, but might need a set down the road for reselling the car.

 

^ cannt do that as i already cut my stock bumpers for quad exhaust.. looks like there is no going back..

 

you guys can send them to me i'll take them to the scrap yard lol

 

 

Yeah, after the initial posting I decided to do a quick check on eBay to see if there were any for sale. Sure enough, there are a bunch for $95-100 (of course, I don't think I saw a single one that actually had a bid on them ).

Seems a shame to toss out a set of chrome tipped mufflers with less than 1,000 miles on them- but better to toss them now than to keep them around taking up space and then toss them 3 years from now!

Too bad Ford didn't include the GT500 mufflers in the track package- seems like a no-brainer (they could have charged a small premium in the cost of the package, and I doubt the GT500 mufflers cost them any more than the standard GT mufflers- probably less even).

Now I'll sit back and see if any of the "trash vultures" snag up the parts before the trash guy can get them (when I was restoring the '65, every old part I put out there would be gone within an hour or so- even a partially delaminated windshield).

 

i even put them for free on craiglist for a month.. nobody bothered

 

I put mine on for 50 bucks and got laughed at. You cant give these pos things away.

 

Different year, but I just bought some from a fellow member. I'm about to get a custom exhaust made with no mufflers, so I'm getting them in case I need them for inspection issues.

The people trying to make money on them are crazy though...They're worthless, if you can't get them for cheap or free.

 

I took mine to the recycling center and got 80 bucks. 40 for each catalytic converter so I had a good day that day. Didn't have to bother with CL.

Opps just realized you are speaking of the axle backs only. Yeah. I got 10 bucks for those at the recycler.

 

If anyone is near Los Angeles I'll haul them off for you

 

I'll give my stocks to a friend that owns a local tire & muffler shop. He sells for labor cost to those that need help on the cost of new exhaust parts. I'm sure he can adapt them to some other vehicles. I do the same with used take-off tires. Kinda like donating to the needy.
