Axle back Muffler question

[DTony]

I am running Roush axle backs with Long tubes and an offroad X pipe. The car is insanely loud.

How much power is to be lost by going from the Roush style muffler to the SVT GT500 muffler? I am guessing no more than 5 hp or so.

A completely negligible amount. 1-2 ponies, if that. The axlebacks are far from restrictive on these cars.

I agree. If getting the GT 500 mufflers you should look at American Muscle. They have them for $264.00 with free shipping. This is the best price I have found to date.

Thanks for the info. I love how the car sounds but I think everyone around me might be taking exception to that...lol

I'm saving for a set right now. I've listened to every youtube vid available with the off road x and the GT 500 mufflers and to me it's the best sounding comdo out there. And they say you get very little to no drone with this setup.

Hmm I was looking at going with long tube headers and i am runnng the Bassani mufflers just like the roush. i may have to think twice

you could switch to a catted mid pipe or possibly add resonators to the ota pipes

I still have the factory resonators on the car. There is not drone what so ever and it cruises nice. But that first 30 seconds it starts is killing me.

I also wouldn't mind a little more mellow tone also.

I hear ya. Good luck finding the perfect setup
