Shelby GT500 axleback

Anyone know what axlebacks are used on the stock GT500?  I know the Shelby GT uses FRPP GTAs.

Thanks.

I think it's the GTA's also but I could be wrong.

They put the GTA's on the GT500 too as far as I know.

I don't know about the 2008's, but the 06's I saw when I bought mine were NOT the GTA's, the tips are quite obvious on the GTA's.It appeared to have standard muffler tips on the few GT-500's I've seen.
Perhaps a GT-500 owner can inform us of what's being installed.

how do they sound?

I have GT500 take offs on my car - they are NOT the GTA, they are the standard GT type.  Although apparently Ford puts the automatic muffler on the GT500 and not the stick - at least if the part numbers I found were accurate.
On the V6 they sound great - I have the FRPP X pipe and dual mid pipes and mufflers for the GT500.

Can't find info on this anywhere.  i will try to post on the Shelby forum.

Looking through pictures of the GT500, they look like stock GT mufflers to me.

Ringo01 -> RE: Shelby GT500 axleback (9/18/2007 8:57:26 AM)

They're stock GT mufflers from what I've seen. And from the many I've heard, it's evident. They are very very quiet. It's kind of sad actually, but easily fixed.

rogan01 -> RE: Shelby GT500 axleback (9/18/2007 10:35:53 AM)

Sounds like you are correct.  One of the reviews I read when looking for this on Google was that "the stock mufflers don't do the GT500 justice"...  Seems a shame on a car like that.  Easily corrected i guess but for the price...

My post is right above yours - I have the GT500 take offs, and they are stock GT for the automatic, not GTA

THE EXHAUST GURU SEZ: they're stock Mustang GT mufflers.  in the way they look, and most definetly the way they sound.  they're like a GT, but just deeper. the tone, all that, is exactly the same.
