How much does it run to put a GT rear fascia on a V6. Just buy the V8.
I hate people that do that.
You drive around town and pull up next to someone and say HEY NIce v6!!!!!

I am neither hear nor there on the sound. I'd have to hear it in person and for longer than 20 seconds to form a real opinion. Like to hear it launch.

The stripes however are a total blow it on such a nice looking mustang. Either do the job or don't do the job, but this half way fecal matter is nasty.

I agree. I LOVE the sound of Flowmaster mufflers, but I have heard a 90 model Vette with add-on Flowmasters (not the cat back) and it sounded pretty bad. It sounded real good at idle but it had a lot of popping when you got on it. I do think that having the mufflers that far back were a factor. It was either that or the daul outlet set-up on each muffler. It really woke up the car though (He could beat my 86 GT after this change).

I have a Flowmaster muffler on my LS-1 Firebird and it is all the way in the back, but it is a cross flow muffler designed for the car. It sounds great but it is a little too quiet for me at WOT. I may try some turn downs on the car. I have heard, however if you take the cat out it will sound terrible with the Flowmaster.

Gears-

As you noted, it's absolutely critical, if you are interested in sound quality, that you buy the Flowmasters designed for your application.

My car has been at Flowmaster's R&D facility for 2 days now, and they appear to be doing it "right". Here is the word from Flowmaster as of lunchtime today, after a day and a half with the car.
Hey Bill,
We did the baseline dyno on Monday morning and I will get you the
numbers. We are currently working on muffler set #4, the first set was too
quiet, and the other two sounded great outside but resonated too much in the
car. I am hoping to try one more set and find the sweet spot. Still looks
like Thursday when you can come and get it. I will let you know for sure.
