[QUOTE="D Bergstrom, post: 15863118, member: 186820"] Figure I would update this for future reference. So I picked up a 2017 GT back in August of last year, been going back and forth on an exhaust for months, finally said screw it, paid the money and bought the Ford Performance by Borla active exhaust (Linked in my original post) and installed it a few weeks ago. I ended up also buying the resonator Borla sells for their mustang kits and it fit right in place of the included x-pipe, no modifications needed at all. With the valves closed and resonator in place, the exhaust was actually quieter then stock, then with the valves open, it was quite a bit louder than stock with a nice deep tone, but I would have liked it to be louder in open mode. This last weekend I swapped out the resonator and installed the x-pipe. Now with the valves closed, it was louder then stock, and the valves open, wow is it loud! it is pretty much exactly what I wanted. It really only gets loud when you are on the gas. I went out on the highway and at 70 mph and the valves open, it really wasn't much louder then with the valves closed at 70 mph, but put you foot in it, that is where there is a difference. My only real complaint is with the x pipe, the exhaust gets a little raspy and pops and gurgles on deceleration at times. I really did like the deep tone with the resonator, just wish it had more volume. In the end, the x-pipe is going to stay, as I would rather have the volume. At least for now, as I do see myself someday eventually going back to the resonator. Overall, I am very happy with the exhaust. Yes, it was expensive, (I did pay quite a bit less then retail though.) but for me it was worth if as it what I wanted, quiet at times, but loud when I want. Doug [/QUOTE]
