I bought mine used with mufflers deleted. Sounds good to me and most people that have heard it. As they say, to each his own

If you think that is loud then you haven't really heard loud yet :D

I still have to mess with my system it is too quiet and you can hear the rasp. Sounds like there is still rattling but I don't know how to stop it. I have the TSP catted headers, Roush AB and the Magnaflow resonated x pipe.

I was thinking of reinstalling my mrt h pipe and going from there with maybe a different AB. Or I could just get rid of the Roush AB and just run no mufflers. I think that might be something I could try since I can just take off the AB and see how the car sounds. Not sure what to do.

Yup...got a muffler delete to experiment with the H-Pipe because I thought my SLP LM2 mufflers were "too quiet"....boy am I glad I didn't sell them. Car sounded like straight ass. Not harping on the guys that have the setup, but to my ears it sounded like shit.

That $120 lasted less than 24 hours. I took off the exhaust next day, cut the muffler delete off, and put my SLP mufflers back on. Would I got louder? Maybe a little louder, but definitely not anything that resembles a muffler delete again.

When swapping my axle back on I thought "hey, let's hear it with just the X-pipe and no mufflers, just for fun"..... holy hell... ya, waaaaaay too much for me. Just right w/an X-Pipe and Pypes touring....

Keep in mind, having tips out back makes a big difference in the sound quality.

To be honest it wasn't even the volume that bothered me. The catback I just put on my car sounds nearly as loud.

It just straight sounds bad. It sounds like a Harley and a tractor had a bastard baby together.

To each his own. I love my Pypes axlebacks. Resonators only, not too loud, drone doesn't bother me a bit and I drive the freeway every morning to work.

Yeah I'm running long tubes with no cats and a Magnaflow Competition Cat Back with no resonators. Sounds amazing at idle and mild driving but the drone and rasp is terrible above a certain RPM. My Magnaflow resonated X came in the other day tomorrow I have an appointment with an exhaust specialist :)

I'm running custom 26" long glasspacks in place of the resonator, and muffler deletes. I'm not bullshitting when I say I get told at least 3 times a week my car sounds perfect.

I'm running the SLP LM2 and a Roush x-pipe. Love the sound, volume, and get tons of compliments.

Muffler delete sounds identical to a roush axed back.

I tried pairing it with the magnaflow resonated x. Sounded deeper but way too quiet. Had that set up for about a year and just went X-pipe muffler delete which sounds identical to a roush x pipe combo.

I think the Borla ATAK is the best sounding exhaust for the 5.0
