Why is everyone out of gt500 axlebacks??

I've been trying to get them for 2 months and everyone is out. I ordered my Saleen wheels today from A M but they're still out of the axlebacks. Why the back order?? Anyone know why they're not available?

I don't know for sure but I assume it's because of demand, I have them. And I a lot of people like the sound for half the price of other options. Just order them and play the waiting game, I had to do it with my cali/sp chin and I only waited about a week before it was shipped.

I know it's been said a 1000 times already, but for the money the Roush's are the way to go IMO. Unless you're going more for a sleeper sound. From what I've listened to, borla has a similar sounding set to the gt500s, but 3 times the cost.

Thanks. I prefer the borla sport catback over every system but the bang for your buck factor with gt500s without resonators can't be beat. I have considered the rouschs but you guys are too loud! Lol

Definitely agree on that, the ROUSH axle backs are by far our most popular set of axle backs for the 5.0s

I think it's the 'tone' of the GT500 axleback sound....it really accentuates the V8 musclecar sound, as you'd expect from a chambered muffler. And you cannot beat the price...I got mine for ~ $260 delivered from CJ Pony parts! And since my plans call for a bigger H-pipe in the future, the chambered mufflers are a great match.

The bullet-style mufflers are definitely louder if that's what you're wanting, and seem to be what people buy when they install an X-pipe.

I know this doesn't help at all

The combination of mellow/muscular sound, cheap price and OEM drone levels (or lack thereof) is really hard to beat.

I like them...they're still mean sounding but completely non pretentious.

My dad has the GT500 and I have the Roush . . . his sound good just not nearly as aggressive of a sound which I LOVE!!! Either way both sound much better than stock. The real downside of the GT500 IMO is the tips. They don't stick out or look nearly as polished as the Roush.

I ordered some mid June and was told yesterday expect Aug 12. Of course I was told 2 -3 weeks, than July 28. I would have backed out and bought some Roush but everyone says they are best bang for the buck.

MRGTX never spoke up. Now talking w/UNDRCOVR. I want maybe his Roush's, he wants my friend's GT500's, & I'll try to sell my Flows later.

I'm going with Roush. I figure if they are too loud I can sell them at a slight loss and still cover my GT 500s...
