I have a 2008 Mustang GT - and I want it to sound LOUD and old school, like 60's mustangs.
I have heard clips of JBA, FR500s, and SLP loudmouths and liked those on youtube.
What exhausts setups do you recommend?

I cars will never sound like a 60s muscle car. If you want to get close, you will need cams.

On my old 2001, I used to run MAC prochambers paired to Magnaflow magnapacks, and people told me it reminded them of the 60's muscle cars. Being born in the 80s, I really don't know what the 60's muscle cars sound like, so I took their word for it. It was petty loud. I always wish I had gotten long tubes and cams for it, which would have made it really loud.

The easier thing to do, however, would be buy a '60s mustang.

Haha, alright, let me rephrase it then.
I am considering SLP LM's. Are they louder than Flowmaster 40 series?
Are JBA's very loud?
I do like the sound of FR500S from the link below, but I think I read somewhere that they are not very loud.

I'm looking for a great sound, but also loud enough that people will hear it coming. Want to turn some heads and have people think "Holy S**t, what is that?"

I've been listening to the clips here:
2005-2010 Mustang Exhaust Sounds at AmericanMuscle.com

but 1 thing that it doesn't not give a good representation of is the volume level!
