True. Go ahead and get the GT500s then.

I need to check those knobs out

m4a1mustang · 10-17-2011, 10:25 PM

I will get some pictures of mine tomorrow. They have so many different options.

I almost ordered it in Sterling Gray but they are acrylic and are color filled so it's not a totally clean look, it's kind of like a bowling ball where the color and flake is flowing all over the place.

Are these the ones? Sadly, they're out of stock. The dude earlier must have had 5.0 custom engraved.

I like how the Flows sound but I could never deal with the drone.

yeah, tryna avoid drone. i've already dealt with enough drone in my life.

m4a1mustang · 10-17-2011, 10:37 PM

you custom order them from grabber pony. Sometimes they have generics in stock but 99 percent of the time you have to custom order, and you can get pretty much whatever you want engraved.

The GT500s are a good option for the people that want a medium increase in volume and no drone. I like them, good for a DD. I have the FRPP Sports which are a lot louder, but still no drone which is great.

After what I have been telling you (I am literally looking at a 5.0 w/ the Roush ABs in the gf's apt complex right now) u still can't make up your mind, get the gt500s.

Remember that scene from Blackhawk Down at the staging area...

" I don't think I can get the Roush axle back, sir"

"Thomas (Dan), its what you do right now that makes a difference"

*camera focuses in on monitor... Dan orders Roush AB, Steve nods in approval*

So do it.

Not surprising since the 5.0 has a factory H pipe and the GT500 uses an X. The X is a lot quieter and smoother at idle and in low revs.

this made me LOL, figured i'd share..

That sticker must only be for the New GT since every previous GT had garbage under the hood.

^ actually the 4.6L could hold its own quite well. Is it better than the 5.0? No. But it wasn't THAT bad. Actually, it responds to boost better than the 5.0.

What I think needed a lot of improvement on the 4.6's were the interior and suspension/handling, all of which have been addressed in the 2011+ stangs.
