Senior 500 Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 All I want to do is make my car sound a little badder. Not much, just a little badder. Adding two mufflers is not easy. How can you choose which ones will be just a little louder sounding? It's a final decision that's costly to reverse. Is there a muffler that anyone likes that is only a little louder than the factory original? I'd enjoy your feed-back. Thanks, Senior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Senior I've got the Corsa axle back setup (which is essentially just 2 stainless mufflers) and it's perfect. Just a notch above stock at idle, nice sound at WOT and no drone at any RPM.

5.4 Shelby Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 I think my Corsa axlebacks are just the right amount of attitude without overdoing it. As said above, no drone. Axle backs are really easy to install. A couple of clamps, a couple of hanger bolts and you are set. Sometimes you have to loosen the pipes upstream to adjust the tips to sit centered in the "hole" in the rear fascia. But, that is also easy. I did mine by myself in less than 2 hours. A lot of that was spent tweaking them to fit perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Magnaflow's here. A little more than stock. Nice sound when you mash the go pedal and no drone. 4" stainless tips look way better than stock. $354 including shipping... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSGT500 Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Something that you might want to consider before purchasing a muffler is how far the tips extend past the rear diffuser. On some mufflers the tips are separate and can be adjusted. On other mufflers the tips are welded to the muffler and the tip length is less adjustable.

Use YouTube for sample sound tests How do you like the FRPP GTA's? I understand this is what is put on the Shelby GT, but I didn't know that they had a 3rd option from the SVT1 and 5GT axle back systems. They are +$300 more than the other FRPP systems, so what exactly is the difference? The Ninosport website says there is no drone or resonance, so can you confirm that? Also, on the FRPP website it lists they are made with 409 steel and may show surface rust. Has that bee a probem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEE500 Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Borla axle back by far!! A little growl at first but at WOT look out!!! Paid a little over $600 plus about 45 min of work and I could not be any happier! The wife does not even notice the change which is a BONUS!!

TexasShelby Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 I have the original Corsa's and love them on my vert. Not too loud with the top down and no drone at all. I did a Poll some time back in the Tech forum, but it's been removed. The last time it surfaced there were about a hundred members polled and it was about neck and neck; Corsa's and Borla, then I think Basani, the FRPP, then Flowmaster and then the rest. About 90% were axle backs. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
