Nice ride. I know you'll enjoy it.

So is this the start of a new build thread so your other can be closed finally?!

I have heard a few different systems on the 5.0s....None of them have sounded bad what-so-ever.

Corsa, Bassani, Magnaflow Comp, & Roush have been among my favorites.

I guess I'll consult you tube

Yeah, YouTube will give you an general idea of the sound. The one system that YouTube doesnt do justice is the Roush....its sounds amazing in person especially paired with a 3" Off-Road X

So buy 3" o/r Roush x n mufflers

Congrats on the new ride. Those wheels look great on it. I'm interested to see where you go with this.

You better hurry up! Only 200 more pages and 4000 posts till you sell it lol. Should I buy a black one so we can swap parts again? I think I want a dark grey one with saddle interior. Any body want to buy all my parts so I can follow in calebs footsteps... Lol.

I'm runnin the Roush and they sound great. Nice tone at idle and cruising,really screams at WOT and absolutely no drone at any RPM. Go to your dealer and ask them to start up a Roush so you can hear it run. That's what I did before buying mine. I had kooks LTs and mid pipe with Mac boom tubes on the 07 and it was loud as shit but to be honest....I don't miss it a ton. The refined interior is almost sound proof like and will make the cabin noise of the Roush sound quiet but they are loud outside from what others tell me when I'm blowing by them.

My boss has a 5.0 with the Flowmaster system if you wanna hear it in person. It'll probably be at the next Cars and Coffee too. :)

Heya Caleb! Congrats on the new ride brother!! I know you'll love it even without boost. Every single performance mod you do on these cars results in tangible results. I've never had a car that responds to mods like this one does!


Before you buy mufflers, you might want to call me and listen to my car while I'm driving. Nick heard it through the phone and loved it. I am also going to make a video this coming Wednesday. I've got a BBR O/R X-Pipe, stock pipe back to the Flowmaster Super 44's and 4" chrome tips. My car sounds absolutely amazing with no drone from 1900-2400rpm, the 6th gear cruising RPM's. But you get on the gas and people will hear it!!!! When I got on the gas one time, my son said he could hear it while he was outside in back of our house. I was about a 1/4 mile away! But he said only while I was WOT, as soon as I let off, he couldn't hear it.

Just wait for the video. It sounds so badass.

No problem man. If you've been trying to call or text me, my stupid phone is acting like the piece of shit it really is. I can't wait to go get this thing replaced with an iPhone! Darkside, here I come!!

Oh yeah, I've decided that if a deal I'm looking at for rotors doesn't work out, I'm going to get the Saleen grille. I might wrap the Saleen, but I'm sick of having these foglights in the center of my grille. I want that clean look on the front end that the Saleen grille provides.
