Hi - New to the forum and to Mustangs. Got a slightly used 2015 GT Premium a few weeks ago and have been very happy with it, but like many others, a bit bored with the factory exhaust.
This car is my daily driver and I don't want a very loud exhaust, just something a bit more aggressive than stock. I was considering getting one of the touring cat backs from Magnaflow, Borla, AWE but wasn't sure if now is the right time to spend that much on a new exhaust (just bought the car and have other life priorities to think about). I'm now thinking of just deleting the factory resonator with an x-pipe and keeping the factory mufflers for a pretty cheap way to open it up a bit. I though this would be a logical approach as I can always add an axle back later on down the road if I'm still looking for something more.
This brings me to my question and hoping to get some first hand experience feedback. There seems to be a lot of options for regular x-pipes at similar price points (Roush, Ford Performance, Flowmaster, Long Tube, etc.) and really just varying slightly based on the stainless gauge or brand popularity. The one major different design really seems just to be the Corsa double helix at a fairly higher price than the others.
Has anybody had experience with just the Corsa x-pipe and the factory mufflers and any comparison to one of the more basic ones? I'm wondering if there would be any real noticeable difference in tone or volume with that one. It could be worth the extra money up front to go with that one if its a bit more aggressive rather than ending adding an axle back or going in a different direction soon after.
