mufflers are way over rated, and over priced

Have you looked at the JBA axle backs ? I heard a set on an 06 in a shop the other day sounded really good - just my opinion though

I have the Flowmaster American Thunders on my 2007 GT and my neighbor has told me that I have woken her up with the when I leave for work at 6 am. I also have the BBK cold air intake, and that seems to have made them a little louder as well.

I have those American Thunders by Flowmasters, along with JLT CAI, SCT tune by THR, BBK long tubes, BBK x-pipe without cats. I really don't like them. I'm yanking them off and getting something else. Any ideas?

With your X pipe, you need a straight thugh mufler for better sound. Not a chambered one such as Flowmaster. Corsa, SLP, Stingers, yada yada yada are such that sound better with the X I believe from threads on here.

Yeah the general consensus is that you're better off with an H-pipe with a muffler like a flowmaster on there.

I just put a pair on my buddies brand new 07 GT Convertible and he seemed quite pleased.

I can speak for the straight through design (stingers) and o/r x. I love mine, they have a wicked sound, especially with a good tune in the pcm. I wanted flows until I heard some on a s197 and didn't like the sound at all. The best advice I can give is go to some Mustang cruise ins and shows and listen to other folk's combo to get real world sound.
