Yes. I'll have to dig up the link (I think it was on Boss Mustangs Online) where someone asked if the Boss mufflers were the same as the GT500. A Ford tech said that the Boss mufflers were the same as the V8 auto trans 2.5" mufflers due to NVH, or something along those lines. That's when I decided to try GT500 mufflers on my Boss when I get it. As a matter of fact, I ordered the mufflers today. **** the NVH.

Because I don't have to follow production car requirements the Ford does. And I can always swap them back easily if I don't like them. Besides, they're pretty cheap and sound sweet on the MGT 5.0. I tell you what, I'll experiment with them, and you all can decide if they're worth it or not for yourselves. I'm going to give it a shot.

Hopefully s197ford will drop in with a comment. Looks like he worked on that aspect of the development of the Boss and he's the one that posted the exhaust testing videos on YouTube.
