I'd just like to know y'all's thoughts on this setup.

This would be on my '07 GT

I have FRPP FR500S mufflers on my 2010. Then installed JBA ceramic LT's and JBA catted H mid section. Way too loud + drone at aprx 1900-2000 rpm. So in went the Pypes SS M80 resonator's. Problem solved, still a tiny bit of drone at 2 kr pm, but overall loudness is way down to acceptable.

The tips on the FR500S are 1" longer on the 2010 version..vs the 05-09 version.

It will be loud, but honestly the FR500S mufflers were my favorite exhaust setup with my JBA long tubes and catted H Pipe.

Here's a clip, non catted would be a bit louder:

That's close to what I'm running, I have Kooks LT with an O/R H instead of an X and FR500 mufflers. I had the FR500 mufflers on the car before the headers and cat delete and they seemed fine, nice sound improvement from stock. The LT and O/R H completely changed everything, it is so fucking loud now almost everyone asks how I don't get arrested. I had it idling in the driveway the other day and a neighbor five houses down texted me and asked if I had a drag car running at the house. The cams were a big contributor to that, but it is loud.

I sent you a PM but in case you don’t get it, I’ll reply here. I have Kooks LTs with O/R X and FR500s. I actually believe the exhaust was louder with the stock manifolds. I don’t have any drone and I get compliments all the time. I live in a neighborhood with mostly older folks and have to go to work at 430 am sometimes and I’ve never gotten a complaint. Here’s a brief video on my YouTube page
