I have been thinking of sometime down the road switching to Borla exhaust, but I have wondered if it still sounds like a stang. How do they sound on our 5.0? If anyone has a sound clip, it would help.
 
i just installed a Borla Stinger catback on a 04 Mach 1, Saturday....Sounds pretty decent to me....i could hear it 1/4 mile away going thru the gears on the pike...Quiet at idle, not to bad when he got into it...$$$$ system for sure...Was a dream to install...fit perfect....Borla has a nice system for sure...
They have this "slide connection for the cat connection and where the tails connect over the axle...was a leak free install...I was impressed...

I found a killer deal on a Borla 94/95 catback in the classifieds and was really tempted to get it. I just couldn't get over how the tips looked. I don't like how they flare out at the last few inches of the tips...I think a tip with one diameter all the way back to the tube looks a lot better on our cars, plus the Magnaflows flowed slightly better so I went with the MF catback and have been very pleased. No more drone, woohoo! :)
 
Sweet. thanks guys for all the responses. I think I'm going to try it later on. Now that we are on the subject.

Which borla mufflers are the one's that come with the 94/95 kit? What do you think of the race mufflers?
 
I love the sounds of my Borla's. I will also admit that I wasn't completely sold on the tips and might prefer something else, but when I polish them up real good they look really decent. My car absolutely screams at WOT with the headers and O?R x on there as well. It is a little bit more of a racier sound, but its still plenty deep for me.
