2sharpie Posted September 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Any updates? How do you like it? Nothing yet! It looks like it won't be at the dealer until Tuesday morning. I'm dying here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kahmann Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 what about magnaflow? their system sounds nice on the gt and they've had a system for the 2010 gt500 for a while too. sorry, i keep suggesting but roush's exhaust looks weird to me. borlas and magnaflows seem bigger and probably better performance. even though i dont know too much about magnflows. and im just seeing greyhound performance has some too. I could never put the Roush name on a Shelby. Maybe that's just me. These 'new' Roush mufflers don't sound all that exciting to me. No different than a Borla, FRPP, Bassani, etc. Magnaflows are the only way to go, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad you never heard them on a Shelby. They sound great, no other manufacture sounds as good as the Roush's. They give my GT500 the sound that I was looking for. To each his own.

kahmann Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 im with gregara--wow thats loud.Id imagine the drone would be incredible--IMHO You're right and a torch red, 500+ HP, 10mpg rocket on wheels isn't obnoxious at all. My opinion is that if you're going to throw money at exhaust, you ought to be netting something for that money, horsepower or sound. The Roush/Borla/Bassani/etc sound a decibel different from the OEM mufflers to me. If you're spending hundreds of dollars on mufflers, why not get something for your money?

2nd2none Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 ive got the magnaflow muffler deletes on mine and love the sound. would think any muffler delete system will sound very similar since its just a pipe. If I had to do it over again I'd just go to a custom muffler shop and have them make me some axle-back pipes and put some tips on for about half the price of the magnaflows. The magnaflows also didn't just bolt up and fit perfect. I actually had to have a muffler shop chop the tip off the driver side pipe and weld in a piece of pipe to change the angle and keep the exhaust from pushing against the bumper.

2sharpie Posted September 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Do you have any sound clips of your Shelby with the Roush? Hopefully I will have clips for everyone soon...........I went today to the dealer to take pics of the rusty rear and guess what.....NO RUST AT ALL (yet) -- it was unbelievable! Since they have the lifts, and are going to have everything pretty much taken apart for my mods, they are going to hook me up and undercoat my would-soon-rust-parts. Hopefully all will be done by late Thursday or early Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldgus Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 HERE ARE THE LINKS.............................. So, I have a few questions: Are your CAT's still retained and in place? And is this a "muffler-delete" exhaust? I'm worries about being able to pass NJ inspection, they are total hard-asses here in NJ, they will look under the car with mirrors to see if your CAT's are there... What did that system set you back? Did you install yourself? Thanks, Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did that system set you back? Did you install yourself? Thanks, Neil It's a muffler delete-system. Came with the axle back exhaust AND new mid-pipes (much smoother mandrel bends than the stock)...and is attached after the cats(which are retained and still in place) so inspection will be no problem. The dealer installed it for me, since I wanted my initial mods done before I took the car home. I ordered it from Late Model Restoration.......was $585/ $30 shipping (same as from Roush but shipping from Roush was $65. And it ended up being drop shipped directly from Roush anyway. Here is the exact systme from Roush................ http://store.roushperformance.com/detail.aspx?ID=1187 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been looking at this set-up for a while, but my only concern is drone. You probably havn't had a chance to really get the feel for the sound because of the bad wheather, but have you noticed as drone? Some say none... while others say a lot.

You probably havn't had a chance to really get the feel for the sound because of the bad wheather, but have you noticed as drone? Some say none... while others say a lot. Thanks Only driven it 38 miles so far, and there is the typical small amount of drone around 2100 or so (that you even hear with the stock exhaust), so I would say pretty much no drone (or extra drone). And the burbling and new sound easily outweighs any negativity.......it isn't overbearing, annoying or anything else. I would never keep the stock exhaust (although it sounds VERY good) in place of this Roush.........I am just that DAMN happy with the sound of it!!!!!!!!!

bpmurr Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 I'd like to hear the Roush exhaust with the car outside like the stock video. In the garage is somewhat unfair as it creates more noise being enclosed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsdeweyusmc Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Hi Chris, Glad you like your Shelby, looks good. I told you that the sound of the Roush's was great. I believe the only color that they sound good on is Sterling Gray. Have fun with her. I find that its a pleasure to drive any chance that I get and I enjoy going to work now because I get to drive it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottGT500 Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Have you all heard the new Roush O/R exhaust for the 2010's?? I know it would be pretty sacreligious against all things Shelby to put something on that has "Roush" embossed on the tips, but I think it may be best cat-back sounding muffler deletes out there. Here is a clip on a GT.......... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2amfNTboqk That setup looks nice (4" tips, I guess). What is the difference between the Roush system and the Magnaflow/SLP muff delete system? I noticed that you said that there is very little drone (@2100 rpm)?! I thought that the muffler is needed for sound deadening and DRONE...I love the sound from your vids. I just can't get that there won't be serious drone without mufflers...Educate me, I admit, I am not the most educated on our cars yet. How would you compare this sound with the Borla/FRPP stinger setup? Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
