Autobuff40 Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Hello, I am new to this forum, so please forgive any rookie questions. I'm just searching for some good advice. I just purchased a 2012 GT500. I am the second owner. The car has the stock exhaust and I wish it was a little more aggressive sounding. I don't want anything crazy and definitely don't want a drone at cruising speed. I have listened to lots of sound bites and watched a lot of YouTube video, but I find that hard to really get a good feel for the true sound. I have heard in person the Ford Racing Mufflers (M-5230-MSVTLA) and I did like that sound. However, I just heard the car start, idle, and a couple of revs. Does anyone have these? Do you think they will achieve the sound I described? Price point was $800.00. I would think somebody is making these for Ford? If I new who, perhaps they would be less expensive? Looking for other suggestions as well? Lastly, had anyone experienced issues with passing emissions after changing the exhaust? Thank you very much for your time and suggestions!

MTYQIN Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Autobuff40, Welcome to the Team. Lots of outstanding people with tons of real world experience that they're happy to share are on this site. Regarding your muffler question, The Ford Racing mufflers are sourced out of Borla. Go to their site, or YouTube and you'll get some great sound clips. I'm running Borla ATAKs on my '12, and they are aggressive - just the way I wanted them. Some drivers prefer the Borla Touring sound - a bit more civilized, but there when you put your foot into it. The key feature I really like about Borla is they have absolutely no drone - anywhere in the rev band. Either the Ford Racing or actual Borla's will serve you well. Good luck with your mods, and enjoy the miles, shipmate. Quinn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

32V-SVT Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 I would suggest you purchase a set of Bassani mufflers.. Oh, and hey, I happen to be selling a set for $400 shipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P7M8 Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 I'm looking for the same but prefer a lower price point. ~$500? Just got a 2011. SVT package, is that a different exhaust? I'm guessing I'm looking for axle back. Would like a more aggressive note at idle and acceleration without drone but I don't want to wake the neighbors every time I start it up. Plan on keeping it mostly stock as a daily driver. I just want to slightly change it from stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
