Anyone pull the boss mufflers, and put on the 11/12 GT500s?

[C6Grandpasport]

Im wondering if it would be louder? The big 4" tips look better from the 11/12 GT500 mufflers, and they sound so awesome on the GT.

They are a little louder but much deeper in tone and rumble. I have been meaning to take another vid like this one now that they have a few thousand more miles. They sound even better. Lots of guys like Borlas or Corsas, but they cost at least twice as much, if not more.

Awesome sound clip. Thank you. This is the setup I want minus the plates all together. Hopefully I will have my boss by may.

I'm running no plates and the GT500 mufflers. I agree with Ace - not a whole lot louder but the tone is much deeper. I think it sounds pretty much perfect for a street car. No vibration/drone problems, either.

i had gt500s and no plates for a few hundred miles. it was an awesome set up. i have longtubes, o/r h-pipe, and gt500s now. it's a great sounding set up, also.

I have a set of 2012 GT500 mufflers waiting to go on. Probably within the next few weeks as the weather clears and I get ready to drive my car again.

I have GT500 mufflers & no plates. Do it, you will love it.

Where is everyone buying their GT500 axle backs? How does this sound compare to the BORLA S-type?

Late model restoration has them for $309.

Tousley has them for 269

I have a set of 2013 GT500 axel backs on the way. Can't wait to put them on. I had a set of the 2011 GT500 axel backs on my 2011 GT/CS. They sounded great.

Are these a straight muffler swap out?

Which mufflers have the dual pipes exiting? I'm sure those require swapping out the rear deflector (although they look really nice).

I like your solution better if it's just a matter of swapping out the mufflers.

 

[jaywoo]

You have to swap the valance also. Tousley Ford sells them for $169 plus shipping. I love the look of the dual slash cut tips. Otherwise, yes, straight swapout on the mufflers.

 

[C6Grandpasport]

So $169 for the rear valance and $269 for the 2013 GT500 mufflers? Sounds like Im sold.

 

[jaywoo]

The 2013 mufflers aren't $269. That's for the single tipped 2011-2012. The 2013 mufflers are I think around $225 each from Tousley plus shipping. I bought a take-off set from the market place on this web site. Just watch the GT500 parts for sale here, they pop up every once in a while.

Anyone have the weight on these vs stock?

So the 2011/2012 single tip GT500 mufflers do not require changing the valance. Is that correct?

I was going back an forth between the 500's and the roush. I went with the roush , glad I did. Sound very aggressive . Nice deep rumble and about 1/4 size and weight of stockers. I did notice a drone at about 60-65 mph but that was it. If you want louder go w/ roush . A little louder and deeper than stock go with the 500's.
