I can tell you the flowmaster hushpower sounds great. Really deep deep bass sound. There is some interior resonance at low rpm. Boderline intolerable for long stop and go drives. No problem on the highway. Removing blocking off the sound tube helps a little. Pretty happy with mine. Considered the roush axlebacks. Sounds good more of a hollow sound and no low rpm interior resonance as much as the hushpower. Try to hear them in person vidoes dont do it justice. I would've gone roush but the hushpower is so deep. Easy install, fitment is good. No issues during the install. There are hanger bracket that i removed and put onto the mufflers instead of just sliding them into the hangers. It was easier that way. There just wasnt enough room to just slide in. If you like flowmasters and generally how they sound you'll prob like them.

If you dont like flows or think their 2 chambers are to loud you may want to go roush. The gt500s are a step louder than stock. They sound a little different on a gt than on a shelby..

You'll prob wanna go with the gt500s then. If you wanna be a notch louder than stock. If you dont wanna be too loud and you dont want rasp gt500s prob be the ones for you.

That's what I did. Have the GT500s sitting in my garage

My order for my actual car got picked up Friday. I am supposed to get a VIN # end of this week. lol.

Nismoracer, just curious, why'd you switch up to the 5.0?

I switched to the 5.0 cuz the new engine is strong 412hp out of the box...pretty sweet. The last time i had a mustang it was a 5.0. The mustang was always in the back of my mind and i was quite happy with my nismo. But it just lacked a little more power and it was a little uncomfy and not as practical. Those are little things. My insurance dropped $60 a month also, go figure. I didnt consider a stang too much until i drove it. It had that extra punch that i wanted. And the stang is so easy to gain more power from. The 5.0 responds so well to a CAI & tune. The power increase is really noticeable. The Z is fun to drive but is a little to small and a little short on power in comparison. Its hard to know all these things that come up from a test drive. You find out more later through ownership. If i could i would've liked to have both. The build quality on the Z is better but it falls short on bang for the buck. Ford did good with this new 5.0. Lots of power, quality of the stang has improved overall. It drives smooth soaks up all the bumps and doesnt rattle my teeth. Am i getting old?...lol. I have always been a mustang guy had many different sports cars but this one just fills the void. It took a lot of mods to get my 1990 gt to go as fast as the new 5.0 does out of the box. But for now pretty happy with my stang. Hopefully i wont have to get rid of it like my last stang. I dont see that happening my student loans are all paid off.

I actually read that the GT500's on a GT are louder than the stock GT500's.
