Side note I still prefer the boat exhaust sound from my H pipe.. personal preference I know but with the ghost cam, it exaggerates the muscle car whump whump noise...

lol thanks

alright yah liking the posts... a bunch of different mix matching on here with their take on it. I suppose that may be more fun / custom and maybe a little cheaper than a full setup by a particular brand?

in regards to xpipe and H, i've heard x gives you better flow and H gives you deeper better muscle tone?

I can personally vouche for Borla. I have the S-Type catback on mine and to me hands down Borla sounds the best. But.. you also get what you pay for. Borla is some of the most expensive too. GT500 sounds good but everybody and their mother has it. I wanted to be different and personally I love what I did. I still have the cars on but its plenty loud. WOT its an animal!

Here are some clips of mine

Old videos, my car has changes quite a bit

thanks man good vids... in your search for borla cat back, did you look into attak and isn't there another type, like a touring? what was the determining factor for you to get the S type? attak to raspy?

You are correct. There are 3 models of Borla for our cars:

Touring
S-Type
Attack

I like them all but I think the S-Type is the best mix. I was afraid of attack being a little too loud for when I delete the cats.

This is a great video that compares them all

yeah i think going Stype would be good for anyone planing to do anything else on top of going from cat back...cause it will get louder. Maybe for someone doing cat back only and nothing else, atak would be better.

Summit Racing was selling them for about $650 or $675 cat back Borla S type. Around same price you would get from ebay and personally I feel better getting them directly from a vendor and new as opposed to used. BTW, the S-type sounds AWESOME!. I was almost about to pull the trigger on the Ataks but I went to a meet and heard them and they sounded too Raspy. I suggest to go to a meet and check out the setups of other mustangs so you can finally get the final say so!

Great advice! Also, Late Model Restoration has a couple good blog posts where they have video and subjective data on the axle backs currently out for the 5.0. They did a good job at doing idle runs and similar rpm and driving runs to give you an accurate depiction on what to expect.

i dunno man... maybe you were looking borla for a different vehicle or something because they want a grand+ i'll keep looking though

I paid $1200 for my s-type catback

expensive yes but I see no reason to ever change it and it is full stainless piping from the cats back. Full stainless mufflers which give them protection from the damaging elements

**Darkhelmet22** · 01-18-2014, 11:31 AM

I love the borla but I paid $500 for my x and mufflers. I really dont care about stainless in texas weather.

Theres a lot of people talking about cat deletes, resenators etc. and xpipes and hpipes but i want to have a talk and everyone chime in on complete set ups or a mix match of a complete set up that they like.

I've gone through tons of youtube videos.. a lot of those recordings dont help in distinguishing note drone etc. and hardly any if any-convos of performance gain.

Like pypes for instance. Cheaper of the exhausts out there, and their site or i cant remember if it was just one that was selling their product put an actual HP/TQ gain claim where as all the other products i see do not.

So i want to hear from the people. I was looking at borla catback atak or stype.

but let me know if you have this or have other systems that you like, and talk about drone/note and any gains or regrets.

doing the foot work in research via youtube, sites selling the products etc. is only going so far

We can definitely help you out, our prices are the best out there

**ThunderkissGT14** · 01-20-2014, 11:48 PM

noted jayman... i see you have two types of borla S type SS cat backs for the 5.0s on your site with similar/general descriptions of both. Any real difference between the two other than price? Any discounts of any kind for dfw50 members?

**Dan12GT** · 01-22-2014, 12:07 PM

Borla has an axle back and a catback. The catback is the expensive one but it gives you all the piping you need from literally cats back

It also allows for easy install of cat deletes / headers because it comes with a shorty after car X pipe.

I personally opted for this because I wanted the benefit of increased pipe diameter from the cats back (2.75"), also the catback system deletes the cruddy stock resonators.

**ThunderkissGT14** · 01-26-2014, 10:04 PM

Anyone what so ever have any experience with AFE exhausts?
