Differences in Ford Racing Axle Backs?

[soontobefastfox]

What is the difference in the two Ford Racing (M-5230-5GT* and M-5230-GTA*)?

Different mufflers because from the looks of them the M-5230-GT* has narrower mufflers.

Does anyone know? They both are SS and the cheaper on has 4" tips?

The GTA is also mildly louder than stock, on the other hand ? the 5GT is much louder than stock and also has more of a straight flow through design meaning no baffles, according to the FRPP website it claims the 5GT has been proven to provide both power and Torque increases over stock, although it doesn't post what the actual increase numbers are ?..Anyhow, that's all I really know about the differences between them..

red, thanks for the quick reply. I'm looking for a straight through muffler but don't want to spend alot of money (or be crazy loud like the pypes violator, it is my daily driver) and I saw a 5GTA on ebay.

Do you have any recomendations?

soontobefastfox - the axle back exhaust numbered M-5230-5GT is also known around the internet as the FRPP/Borla Stinger kit. Search the forums for the term stingers and it will help you to make an informed decision.

Other than the M-52305GT ? the only other straight through design I'm aware of is the SLP Loudmouth's ?? I believe they cost less than the 5GT's However, I'm not sure if their louder or about the same ? and I would definitely stay away from ebay, unless the seller is willing to accept either paypal or credit card payments and also has a high feedback score..Anyway, hope you find this helpful..

Have you considered changing to an X pipe and using stock mufflers? I just put on a Bassani BX x pipe with cats, and it sounds good. I removed an x pipe with no cats cuz it was a bit too loud. Guess I am getting old

Since the manual and auto mufflers are different on the stock car, could the A be designed for the auto? Just a thought. Probably a stupid one.

Well I decided to get the FRPP/Borla Stingers when I found them for 270 shipped with less than 250 miles on them.

I'm putting them on this weekend. From the clips I heard its gonna sound mean!

I'll let everyone know how it goes.

Thanks for the input
