Best sounding muffler for L/T's and off-road H

[ZX6Ray]

Hello all! Tried searching but I wasn't getting anything good to turn up for my question.

I am running 1-7/8 AR long tubes and an off road h pipe with stock mufflers on my 2011 GT500.

Looking for a muffler that is slightly louder yet retains the lovely sound of the gt500 mufflers. I would like more of a classic muscle car sound at idle and up. I don't know which direction I should take but we have no emissions requirements here so no worries about that.

I would appreciate any help at all! Thanks!

Borla...hands down

Which borla??? There are several types available.

Tried borla, flow master , and magna flow. Back to stock and it seems to be the best for me. I do have dynatech and ORX so maybe that's what tricked up my set up

DR. Gas Freq Mods. This is with an X but i bet the H would mellow it down a bit more.

I have JBA 3" catback and they sound great. Many others run this and love it at as well, the only issue is ever since JBA got bought out a few years back the quality went straight down hill.

Also people like the MMS Mac mufflers, all though I haven't heard much about these lately.

The best way to removed the popping and rasp is a chambered muffler, or add a resonator in the system

I went to MMS website and I did not see the MAC mufflers available for the GT500. What's the part number? All I see are the stock mufflers that I already have.

Corsa ultimate touring is what I have, quiet during normal driving but loud as heck during acceleration

Its not a specific built axle back or cat back like everyone else is posting. Dr. Gas is an exhaust company and the muffler of theirs i run is the freq mod. They make great products. It's not a bolt up axle back. I run the Roush Extreme cat back which is just resonators in the OTA pipes and then i put the dr. gas freq mod mufflers in the place where the stockers go.

You'll have to get with Alex at MacKenzie on these, [email protected] I have them and love them.

How would pypes muffler delete sound?

How would pypes muffler delete sound?

Do NOT do this (just my opinion). It will be ridiculously loud and it's not a refined sound at all. If you just want loud, that's the way to go, but it doesn't sound good at all IMO. Not a fan of muffler deletes, especially without cats and most definitely not with long tubes and no cats.

Are those uggs? For real? :lol:

That is a mean sounding exhaust though, but Roush mufflers are LOUD without cats, so keep that in mind.

My vote would be the Magnaflow Street series first...

Second would be the Borla Touring
Borla 2011-2012 Shelby GT500 Stainless Steel Touring Cat-Back System - Borla - Cat-Backs - Exhaust - 2011-2012 - Ford SVT Shelby GT500 - Vehicle Selector - Shop Now

Both will give you great sound but not be over-bearingly loud. Let us know if you have any questions about this exhaust or others as we carry several different brands as seen here: Cat-Backs - Exhaust - 2011-2012 - Ford SVT Shelby GT500 - Vehicle Selector - Shop Now

Thanks :beer:

I personally think the '11/'12 muffler has a great sound especially when you factor in how much mufflers are for these cars.

I asked this same exact question a few months ago..

I love the sound of OEM but just wanted a tad louder...

Listen to me sir ,

I probably went through 5 different setups and nothing sounds as good as stock!

I went with borla attack , roush , frrp sport , and nothing sounds as good as stock.

They would sound good at initial start up and idle but once you get on them, the dead can hear you... The blower sound is almost unbearable , and you can't really hear for any strange sounds, knocking etc...

I have a 2013 rear conversion so what I did was buy four, 4 inch chrome tips and weld them over the 2013 OEM gt500 mufflers.

Everyone loves the sound. And you can go wot in the city without telling people 3 miles away...

I have the stock exhaust manifolds and had magnapacks with high flow cats and a bassani X. I thought that set up sounded really nice but I blew the packing out of one of my cats. Had the cats removed and that was way to loud so I swapped the magnapacks for the magnaflow street and it sounded good but at certain RPMs it had sort of a wierd rattling sound. I put the magnapacks back on in the place of the cats and I like the sound. I think 2 sets of magnapacks would sound really good especially with the H pipe and there cheap.

Abolutely horrible. LT's + offroad h + muffler delete will be louder than circle track cars. I mean there's not a single thing muffling the sound at all.

I'd look into possible the Borla Touring mufflers.

Ok thank you for all your inputs! I just decided to keep my stock mufflers and get another set of muffler deletes for those car show occasions once in a while. I got some slp loudmouths from a member on here for $250. I have heard the pypes but they didn't sound as good as the slp's. This allows me to be loud when I want to be and throw the stocks back on when I grow tired of the NASCAR sounds. lol

Should be fun setting all those car alarms off in the parking garages!
