So I took a beating from the wife last night.

When she caught me surfing Aftermarket **** on the web. I was playing the Stainless Works exhaust video with a look of lust in my eyes (not to mention I announced to her and the kids that this is all I want for my birthday and Christmas) when she went off on me to remind me that SHE agreed to (see how this works??) no aftermarket accessories since we are having to float two car payments now. And a louder exhaust is just something you cannot sneak onto the car without getting busted. That's OK, when she asks me to take her out to Mexican for dinner tonight, I'll toss her a can of re-fried beans and remind her we have two car payments to make now.
This will be my house tonight....

But seriously, tinted windows (already approved by the CFO) and the exhaust is all I want! I just wish it wasn't $1100 for practically two straight pipes with a couple of bends.

Haha I get the same...but I was the sole provider for the past 7 months, so I did what I want. I told her upfront, suspension, tint, clear bra and exhaust were MUSTS as soon as I got the car. Then little appearance things here and there. She still gives me crap.

I was also sold on SW, until I heard the Solo exhaust, which is what I went with. Take a look at my thread. I can also email you a clip. I convinced my buddy to put the SW on his Charger R/T, and it sounds badarse, but after running muffler deletes, I wanted to go a little quieter than that. I'm very happy. The Solo has the old school Mustang sound, that all the axleback mufflers are missing, IMO. The only two I liked were SW and Solo.

Whoops, just noticed I was in the 2015 section. I don't think Solo has a 2015 kit yet!

I don't like the sound of the exhaust on the 2015, whether it is stock or aftermarket. When it gets into the upper ranges, it sounds very artificial, like something that is computer generated. I wonder if is the headers or the tune. I would love to hear a set of long tube headers on a '15

The SW sounds good and the Gibson. Would like to hear the 3 catbacks from Borla.

Agreed. Did you listen the the SW video? A lot of that "raspy" sound comes from an X pipe. The SW uses an H pipe and eliminates a lot of that tone. Even if I had her blessings, I wouldn't pull the trigger on a system this early. Because as soon as I had installed it, another would come out that sounds better.

I just went to Solo Performance and they don't even list Mustang systems.

Yeah they need to update their site. Stage 3 Motorsports carries them, but they need to update their listing too, because they started out with a 2.5" kit for the GT, but now they're all 3".

For my 40th my wife treated my car (It was a '92 Nissan NX2000 - RIP yesterday) to a badly needed new muffler. Didn't know it until I started it up for work & heard that rumble - it was an aftermarket Greddy I think. She, my friends, is a keeper!

I just bought a 2011 Mustang this week and I'm now 49... *waits and discreetly leaves AM, Drake and other catalogs lying around*
