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.

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

Exactly my thoughts too Red. $700 on mufflers!

My invidia catback were 700~ish...lol.

I will have to check that out. GT500's mufflers with no resonators eh? How much would that set me back?

Also, are your FRPP's polished, Steve?

The mufflers are not, they just look OEM, but the tips are rolled stainless steel.

Here's the GT500 axle-back (with resonators) for your reference:

Late Model Restoration has them in stock for $255 not including shipping: 2011-2012 Mustang GT/GT500 5.0L/5.4L Ford Racing GT500 Style Axle-Back Exhaust Kit M-5230-Mgtca1 at LRS - Same Day Shipping!

The Roush:

Roush will be a lot louder. Depends on the sound you are going for.
