Thumbs up If you thought the coupe sounded good when I put the Borlas on. . .

. . . wait till you hear what it sounds like with this:






Long tubes + O/R X-pipe + Borla XS mufflers =

This combination is not only quiet, but it screams above 3500 rpm and has distict sound that I have yet to hear on a Mustang. It's hard to describe; very racey sounding and not obnoxious at all.

I think 5 liters sound great with X pipes. With the racey tone of the Borlas, I bet it sounds awesome.

What brand X is that? VRS?

No, it's some generic pipe I found on Ebay. It was brand new and only $77 shipped.

Wow. Sounds like a good deal (I'm guessing it fit since you've already posted about how it sounds).

Yeah, there was one issue that I came across. The holes on the flange that mates with the headers weren't wide enough apart. I fixed it by grinding out the holes outward.

I knew there was a possibility of some fitment issues; I'm just glad it was an easy fix.

Does it sound like mine or does the h/c/i change the sound on yours?
