supe Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Hate the game, not the player. You will be fortunate just to have these mufflers. I made the same inquiries and they track the package across the country for me. It will be worth the wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Details??? Had a friend come over and we did the install in my driveway. They will wake up my neighbors when I get ready to go to work in the mornings That initial high idle at start is kind of loud, but sweet music to my ears. They are also pretty quiet when cruising but wake right up when you put your foot down. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formervettowner Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 NO, not wanting to get the pot boiling, just an honest question: - For those who did buy these mufflers, and have installed them, please give the rest of us some feedback. Are they more like the SVT1, the SGT or the 5GT? Or any other after market mufflers. A sound clip would be great. Just want to know so when they "do" come back out, we know what we are dealing with, or if it is even worth the wait! Thanks! Does anybody know who is producing these mufflers for Ford. I know the SGT and SVT1s are made by Borla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragpack70 Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 I don't know why they didn't use a few more bolts to hold the left forward muffler hanger onto the frame. Does it actually hold the car together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie G Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 You can thank Amy and company for the ADM, now BOI wants to nail us because SAI sent them a letter and us suckers here buy into the hype... just my .02 cents... Try other mufflers and you will be happy just the same... Anything is better than the crown victoria mufflers that come from factory!!!!

dragpack70 Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 This evening, I received my KoRect Ford Racing mufflers ordered off eBay at $599, as promised. They were in the Ford Racing box with the label stripped off, as others have reported. The install was straightforward. The look of the Bullitt-style tips is much better than the factory stuff, as is the kay-are look of the mufflers from the rear. I haven't heard the other after market mufflers, but these look and sound GREAT! The factory mufflers tipped the scales at a total of 32 pounds, while the emustangparts muffler set weighed in at 24.25 pounds. I still say the GT500 should have come this way in the first place. This last one is looking down the straight-through throat of the Ford Racing muffler with a light shining down the axle-end pipe: Crude before and after youtube clip It got too dark to take any decent pictures of the installed mufflers. Maybe tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svt boost Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 So how did you end up installing them?

dragpack70 Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 So how did you end up installing them? Did you remove the hangers or did you disconnect at the axle back and intermediate pipe to slide them on/off the hangers? As the pictures show, I removed all the hangers. They were a little harder to get off due to the factory muffler size, than they were to put back on with the smaller Ford Racing muffler. I loosened the clamp on the left side of the X-pipe to adjust the two tips for equal extension at the back bumper after getting everything centered in the valance, and the hangers and clamps tightened up around the muffler and axle. It didn't take too long to do at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formervettowner Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 They were never $499; they started out at $599 at BOI. From and earlier thread. I called BOI today & they said they are sold out & will not be getting anymore anytime soon. The note they have next to/below the pic explains why the cost got driven up from $499 to $799. Think list was $499 and the ebay seller had them for $599 and now $799. Either way we are being hosed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slabo Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Question About Rust on Mufflers. That was my concern also, but I got no help on it. Yes it is just from the welds. It cleans right off. I cleaned mine with some metal polish before installing. I have also cleaned the inside of the tips since this pic was taken.

SLB8SNK Posted September 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 First off I want to thank everyone for the posts, the pics, and the clips! Wow, amazing input. Second I am happy we did not get pulled!!! Last, I think I found the perfect set of mufflers.... thanks to all the input... now I just have to sit and wait, and dream and wait, until these hit the market once again. Even at $799 they may be a hot sell as i can see, based on all the interest and the FREAKING SOUND!!! WOHOOOO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLB8SNK Posted September 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 So now I am confused, are these still available? BOI shows them in stock, no wording about the SAI incident, and readily available? So are they worth the $799???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
