Not sure, but Borlas aren't very loud to begin with.
Yep. If I recall, you're a fan of the FRPP exhaust? I believe they're made by and are the same as the Borlas.

SOHCman, thank you for your reply. The Pypes system sounds great!
For me, to get the second Borla muffler, the midpipe and X pipe to go dual, it would cost me over $400. This means I should go ahead and just order the Pypes catback dual from one of the internet companies for less than $400.
My question: Did you (or anyone with Pypes) have fitting and alignment issues with the installation?
Thanks!

No problems with fit or finish.
Only 1 problem I had was after 40,000 miles on them (11 months to the day) I broke the passenger side "X" pipe mounting rod off at 100+...
Just kinda "rattled" the weld right out of the little bugger and left a hole in the pipe. Sounded like RICE!

Had my dealer replace the piece on Monday.
Good as new.
And yes, I did say 40,000 miles in 11 months... she has 88,000 miles on her since 4/5/06...
My club is aptly named, don't ya think?

I have the system in my sig, no fit problems at all. Lined up great. I like the tone with the GT mufflers, it's not the loudest, but it doesn't get rhaspy.
I hear ya!
When the Pypes are cold, they SCREAM LIKE BANSHEES if you get on it!
Haven't got an accurate dB reading when cold, but its enough to scare the Timber Wolves around here.

PS: My GT mufflers are still in box... LOL... "Just in case"...

88,000 miles?! That's great! I'm really glad to hear a higher mileage Mustang. Any issue with the car?
I've concluded that the Pypes are the ones. Thank you.

As for the car... I broke the little plastic cover on the trunk lid... and the CD doesn't always eject...
I really can't complain...
I will definitely buy another one... especially when they release a retro version of the 1969 mach 1 with curvy rear fenders.

I'm a big believer in the H-Pipe if you want a deeper sound. As far as louder, I wouldn't say that it is night and day but it's kinda like going from mono to stereo speakers. There's really kind of a tradeoff though, you're either going to get a loud sound or a deep sound, or something in-between. I didn't care how loud my car was as long as it sounded deep and even. Good luck on it.

Wait, is this retro really in the works, or are you just pulling my leg?
