First Mod Ordered - Flowmaster Hushpowers

[YELL03]

I bought my 2011 Mustang GT automatic 12/6/10

Today 12/16/10 I ordered my 1st mod, the Flowmaster Hushpower axleback system.:banana:

I listened to all the clips, but I really was considering the Roush and Flowmasters for under $400....

The Roush sounded a bit hollow and raspy, but does not drone.

The Hushpower sounds deeper from what I can tell, maybe at the expense of some drone, but I am pretty sure I will deal with it.

I have only had one exhaust that droned on a car that I could not deal with....
I had B&B Bullets on my 2005 C6 Corvette automatic, it was insane.

I currently have SLP Loudmouths on my daughter's 2007 Mustang GT automatic and I love it.

I did not want to spend a fortune and ended up buying the Flowmaster Hushpower kit #819109 for $357 shipped.
For that price it was definitely worth taking a shot.

Next up....
Which CAI?:shrug:
Airaid, C&L, Roush or a K&N drop-in?
All four can be used without a tune or with a tune.

Then...
Which tune?:shrug:

Should be fun....;-)

good choice on the hushpower. I have them since week two of ownership and sound the best of all I have heard. There is drone but not to much to bear. congrats. BTW dont know the HP gains but I put a K&N drop in with a VMP tune. It runs well with the new tune.

Thanks for the response.
The Roush cai looks cool, all it does is replace the stock box with a filter and new maf tube and utilizes all the factory stuff.

They claim around 8rwhp with the stock tune.

For $199 it is quick and easy.

The K&N for $50 is even easier.

VMP is a good tuner.

i bought the hushpower because i loved the sound clips and the price was hard to pass up.... well, that didn't last long. the drone gave me a headache every time i drove the car so i bought the borla s-type to replace them. i wish i would have just paid the premium to begin with. you get what you pay for...

I had Borlas on my 2006 C6 Vette, hands down the best Vette exhaust I've ever heard.

They are pricey, but they always sound good.

As for the Hushpowers, I hear they are OK with the stock cats, but do a o/r x-pipe and the drone is rough.

Yeah the drone isn't even noticable with the factory cats in place. With an O/R X it's almost unbearable at times. It does sound really good though.

That is what I am hoping not to hear with the cats in place, no drone

well mine was all stock except for the axle back and the drone was unbearable...

I'll give you my honest opinion as soon as they are on.

Right now I am trying to decide on a cai.

 

[Itsdafiveoh]

The drone with the Hushpowers is bearable, in my opinion. Doesn't bother me a bit. Love the sound of them.

 

[YELL03]

I truly hope it will be loud enough for me.

My daughter's SLP Loudmouths are a nice volume at regular crusing.

They are not very loud. Matter of fact I just ordered the Heartthrob catback with the hpipe without resonators. When those come in I can give you more feedback

Uh oh, I hope they are not too quiet.

Keep me posted on your set-up

My daughter has the LM1s, I like them a lot.

I had LM1s on one of my 03 Cobras, that sounded great also.

no without the resonators they will be louder

 

[YELL03]

no without the resonators they will be louder

I am not cutting out the resonators, so if they are too quiet I will sell them and buy SLP Loudmouths;-)
