I am looking to replace the axle back exaust on my 05 v6 manual mustang. I'm not really worried that much about HP gains or performance. My main concern is the sound of the exhaust. I have noticed that some of the axle back exhaust systems (or any system for that matter) can sound a bit ricey. So my question is this: Which axle back exhaust for a single stock v6 sounds the least ricey. I am hoping for a deep, loud rumbly type exhaust. Any links to sound clips would be nice as well. Thanx in advance
uhh the aero turbine mrt things i have heard sound pretty ricey at higher rpms if you ask me.. id go with the ford racing/borla
Eh well I've heard they're good but who knows, neither of us have one. I would just go with dual FRPP, because you will definitely wish you got duals later down the road if you just get a single.

The Borlas are quiet if you don't want that. I have the MRT Aeroturbine; I'm really happy with it, but any single exhaust is going to sound a little ricey. The MRT is probably the least sounding rice, but if you just really want to avoid the rice sound, dual FRPPs are all I know of.

-Guy down the block from me has the single aero turbine, I really don't like how it sounds
-True to the duals, I wish I got duals. There is no driver side axle back that matches the one I have exactly or I would have gotten it by now.
i have a GT take off and honestly, i am really happy with it. I got both mufflers for only $50(new) even though i only installed one. The sound is Great! deep, throaty, muscle-car-like when you step on it but quiet enough to not disturb the neighbor-inos! lol I even noticed a tiny boost in acceleration which was nice! good luck with you decision! -Erik

+1 GT takeoffs are the cheapest way to get better sound in an exhaust set-up, going duals is a cinch and would only add to the great sound you get from a Takeoff.

i was thinking mrt aeroturbine (sound really good after break-in...good thread on here of vids of it), MAC, or Pypes - the borla and frpp is out of my price range right now, but if i could find a used one around maybe
i agree with flowmasters. evryone always talks about other mufflers but the flowmasters i think r the best sounding i have a single flowmaster 40 series and it sounds bitchn. evryone always gives me great comments and i believe it does sound as good or even better than duals on ur V6s. u can hear my car coming a block away.

I went with the "single" Pypes 409 Stainless Steel Street-Pro Axle-Back. They sound decent once they are broken in (2+ months). Also at higher RPMs it does sound a bit high (ricey). I am Ok w/ it for now; howver I am planning on getting dual FRPP exhaust in the near future. :-)
Check out the youtube link below to listen to my single Pypes exhaust.
I can assure you that the MRT aero is not what you are looking for. I have had mine for almost a year, and every time I drive, I get a little more annoyed by it. It does not sound like muscle, it does ok at idle, and not too bad at WOT. As for everyday driving, it sounds like a loud hum. It hums real bad on the inside, but it sounds even worse on the outside. And thats what people will hear when you drive by, a loud droney hum.

i have the american thunder flowmaster single exhaust. had it for over a year. I really dont care for it much, maybe because i have a convertible. Yeah its loud, but really not a awesome sounding loud, more like a poorly running car kinda loud. JMO... and as others have said..you might as well skip the single muffler and go right to duals, thats one of my next moves.
