Whats up all... Im thinking of getting the Ford Racing M-5230-GTA axel backs for my stang. All of the parts are currently stock.

Anyone have a pair of these, or know someone who does? What is your input about them? are they worth it (found a deal for under 300) or should I go with another brand

Although the M-5230-5GT are a bit more expensive over the GTA's ? their also a straight flow designed muffler w/no restrictions and believe you would be much happier with the sound quality as well..

I have them installed on my '06 and am pretty happy with them. I think they are a little quiet though. They have a great tone to them, especially when starting the car and revving it up. I have found they are a little too quiet for me when crusing. I think they would sound perfect with a high-flo mid-pipe to wake them up a little bit.

I installed in the parking lot with a set of ramps and 2 wrenches, took about 15 minutes.

You have the ones I was asking about, or the GT5 that RB was talking about

I have the GTA AB and love the sound. Dead quiet at cruise on the inside but sound wicked on the outside.

These cars have a cool sound due to lack of tailpipes.

I know one thing for sure, 4" tips look WAY better then stock tips.

Also from Nino, you can't beat the price for a AB.

I have the GTA mufflers, though they did not come from Ford Racing, they came directly from Supreme Exhaust.

The mufflers probably are much louder from behind the car, I just wish I could hear them a little more. They do sound awfully wicked when you rev it up to about 5000 RPM.

Looks GREAT, CJ!

I noticed you have a white Stang. How is that color working for you? Any stripes/visual mods?

I have the green color and am seriously considering painting mine white with blood red stripes. White with chrome rims and tailpipes... well, you just can't get better than that, eh?

I've had those GTA's for a while now. I like them a lot. Great sound without bringing down the long arm of the law, and they look terrific.

I love the color, especially after it's actually washed, and it's bright as hell.

I don't know what I'm going to do with it. Make the car payments for now I suppose, LOL.
