I'm an Fbody guy (ex 02 T/A owner), but Ford has been making me drool recently. Your Mustang sounds awesome, just sounds like pure quality. Planning on any other upgrades?

Their tips definitely fill the rear valance very nice and look great.



That's probably the best way I would describe it as well. It's smooth but still has the throatiness and aggressiveness.

Keep in mind that Borla works/researches with Ford, FRPP, Roush, and Shelby on some of their vehicles.
And again, hearing it in person from my buddy who had one here in town, that's what sealed the deal. I mean, I heard it all from videos and saw pics of it. But when I saw and HEARD (I even drove his car, and listened to him take off), I was sold. I didn't even second guess my decision to get the Boss Quads instead. I was 100% sure I wanted these. The vids you guys are hearing make it sound 1/2 as good as it is. In person, they are insanely good. I wish I could hear it like the general public hears it outside of the car. Inside the car (since I'm driving it) sounds good, but I can never fully appreciate it

haha... they already do. I took the pm off yesterday in that vid, so no one was around. Heck I didn't even go past 3k rpm in that vid... and it already sounded that good.

I try to go easy on throttle in my neighborhood anyways

thanks for kind words tho.

Hi Ray.... yes, I came from imports all my life. When Ford came out with this new 5.0, and mags/editors were comparing it to the M3 at the time, I was already very intrigued. When I saw and drove one, it was game set match. Great car...

I have a lot of mods in her... just not in my sig (not enough space )
borla s types
ford k springs
bmr panhard bar
mgw shifter
mrt hood struts
hoen fogs
vled switchbacks (next week) for drls

hmmm I might be missing a few...

oh, clear bra in majority of areas, and 35% tint.

I know the feeling. No matter how many videos I make of my truck, it just never sounds the same.

Re: Marilyn's new pipes...

Sounds great.

The Mustang has always had the classic muscle car sound and now you have tuned it to the perfect sound. Not overly aggressive when cruising but loud enough to let you know shes there when you hit the throttle.

I agree with you. I have to be tame when around neighborhood...but I open it up in the city. I think anything louder than that would be considered obnoxious... right now, it's a "perfect GOOD sounding" loud, I think?

Well, if you're not quite ready for a blower, how about the Boss intake with some custom tuning?

Headers, X-pipe and cams come to mind, and depending how crazy you are going to get with the supercharger and which one it is, maybe start shopping for the supporting fuel system mods... injectors, boost-a-pump, fuel rails, etc...

Re: Marilyn's new pipes...

How about turning it into a hovercraft?

I must say I am very envious of those who have the ability to tinker with their cars and turn them into unique and personalized modes of transportation.

I cant wait til my kids are on their own and I have time and funds to have a car to play with! My wife won't sign off on modding my daily driver with an 8 week old daughter while renting a home lol!
