Do you plan on doing other exhaust modifications

I think every v6 exhaust is going to sound 'aggressive' at the higher RPM's. I have the borla atak so I can kind of speak for borla. I think they all sound very similar with varying loudness. Anyway it's very deep in the low RPM's and the best part is it has absolutely zero drone.

I think a member or two have the gibson here. The videos sound good. Actually pretty similar to borla setup. I think they're a bit more difficult to install but they're more affordable.

Honestly can't go wrong with borla if you're willing to shell out some cash. But I think the touring is too tame. You might want to try the s-type from borla or otherwise called the stinger. Real deep tone

I've had Gibson for about a month now and I love it man. I was deciding between Borla (atak) and Gibson too but eventually went with Gibson. I highly recommend it. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hey man, thanks for a reply, I was wondering if I could do swap myself, i have all the tools and stands. Was the fitment perfect, is it just a simple bolt on.

I dont like loud exhausts, i want to gain some power with some nice tone, i dont like raspy high pitched sound, im looking for a nice and deep sound.

Im not planing on doing any other modes, just a catback

Saw this yesterday. Older mustang but it should give you an idea on the different Borla options.

I have the catback Borla Touring on my 2015 V6 and I love it. You will find a video on my web site's 2015 Mustang page here on the Oct 4, 2015 update section http://mymustang.ca/My2015.htm

I've got a Gibson myself. But I've got a GT. But I also had a Gibson on my 10' Camaro V6. Definitely go with the Gibson.

Yes it's a simple bolt on. I don't have tools so I took it to a shop and they installed it in about 45 minutes. They said it was very easy to install and it fit perfectly. Some people here said they had some problems with the Gibson clamps. The price of Gibson catback went up by $150 about 2 months ago everywhere so maybe they improved the quality of the clamps because my shop said it was perfect.

Loudness is subjective but for me Gibson is loud but not too loud or annoying loud. It's a moderate nice loud (your neighbors will not complain). I describe the tone as very deep on idle and very sporty on high rpms. There is definitely performance gains. The 4.5" tips (best looking tips in the market) don't hurt either especially if you're going with the black option (it looks better IMO and it improves the quality of the stainless steel). Gibson costs less than Borla by about $300 I think but there is almost no drone with Borla according to what most people say (there is a slight vibration with Gibson at highway speeds but it's not annoying at all and can be controlled by going from 5th to 6th gear or 6th to 5th gear). Both are high quality exhausts. It depends on what you want because both have advantages and disadvantages but personally I'm very happy with Gibson.

Watch these videos and you will get an idea:

The third one is a 2013 Mustang with a Gibson axle back but it sounds similar.

Hey Rory, did you wrap or paint your bumper?

Hey Rory, did you wrap or paint your bumper?

I had the rear lower valence painted in a pebble finish to match the front and side splitters.

Nice it looks great. I'm trying to decide between wrap vs. paint and also the whole thing like in your case or only the valence. My friend thinks wrap could get damaged due to heat from the exhaust.
