Default 2005 Mustang v6 with gt muffler installed

pretty cool. got the mufflers the night before last, and last night i couldnt wait any longer. decided to put one on and check it out. pulled all the hanger bolts with a air ratchet, and the muffler came right off with no effort. re installed the hangers with the gt muffler, about 15-20 minutes. i want to take it back off, cut about 1 1/2 in off the tip. it sounds louder, not overy loud, till you tromp on it. people could hear you commin a ways away. sounds great at idle.

Those gt takeoff's are nice, it will be interesting to see if duals make it any louder or quieter?? Definately post back! I still got the left muffler in my garage.
I just recetly dropped in a k&n filer like you have, and it seemed to give the exhaust an even better sound.

i have to admit, after driving now for a day, that single gt sounds great. coasting or driving easy, its not too loud at all, but hammer it and it comes alive. even just a semi agressive take off turned some heads. ive got to lay out the cash though to go dual just cause it looks too cool. i`m just guessing that dividing the amount of exaust into 2, wont be any or as loud, which will be just fine with me. i was hoping someone else who has done this would comment. i allready had that air filter so i wasnt able to notice like you did. i`m pretty sure the cai will add a little to the loudness too. thats next with the tuner. ah yes, dream dream dream

I just went dual with gt takeoffs and h pipe. IMO it's a tad louder but not too much. Sounds awesome though!

I picked up some gt take off over the axle pipes from PYPES at Englishtown swap meet. Pypes makes an x pipe for the convert as does Dynomax. rock valley auto is supposed to be the cheapest for the x pipe. I have all my parts for duals except the x pipe. But I have the single gt muffler on now for about a month picked up about 2mpg. and sounds better. I have an extra set of hangers ( enough for one side) i might want to sell
