I have heard the Roush in person before and it sounds pretty good. It does seem to have a bit of rasp but wasn't too bad from what I remember. Not really sure on drone.

Another good option would be the GT500 mufflers. Louder than stock with no drone. Not as loud as the Roush or Borlas, but if you wanted more volume you could always delete the resonators. A lot of people really like this setup.

Welp, decided to head up to the Frankfurt Auto Show yesterday with my speed adrenaline junkie Fraulein in tow, got a chance to open the Stang up on the way, I pegged it out completely, car is definitely held back due to drag issues but I reached 160 quick, fast and in a hurry. I recorded a little 80 to 130 pull in 5th gear if yall wanna see it. Of all the cars there, there were a few that definitely stood out.

Ford EVOS

and this badass little gem:

fvcking love that flat paint.

I love the sound of steve's exhaust, so frpp sport or s type sounds like a great option to me. I have a hard time dropping $700 on just mufflers though.

From what I've heard on the car though, there is no better option.

I was pretty pumped that I got to open the stang up though, its plenty powerful at 100+

that GT500 gave me wood.

This engine is capable of 180+ EASY.

There's a guy in Germany that has done 174 on the GPS but shut the car down because of traffic.

Red370 · 09-25-2011, 02:04 PM

Yeah thats the main reason I stopped at 130, there was a gradual curve ahead and someone in a 3 series was blocking the passing lane. I was going to record a video of my 160 run but I was recording with an iphone and decided that i'd need both hands on the wheel. I dont plan on taking it any faster than that on the stock rubber. BTW, you gotta admit, that exhaust sounds sick.

I wish we had an autobahn here so I could do top-speed runs without worrying about legality.
