Looks great. Much nicer looking tips than the H-pipe Stillen I have......

Any sound???

I think it probably makes some.

Absolutely stunning piece of craftsmanship! Look forward to seeing one at the Rally.

Looks great Kendall!

I currently have the long tube headers - and the Ford (Borla) "muffler". How much louder (and cooler!) would this setup be?

Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. Please consider this just an additional alternative to other fine exhaust choices that are available from Heffner, Accufab, Stillen, etc.

Regarding sound - oh man, that is so subjective. We will be installing one of these locally within the next couple of weeks and I will minimally try to get start-up, idle, and some trottle blips to give you a flavor. Our exhaust is probably closest in design to the Accufab so the sound is probably most similar to that and all of these exhausts share many sound similarities. Comparing to the Borla, ours is definitely louder but I don't think objectionably so. The Borla was the first exhaust alternative out for the GT and was the only exhaust option for a period of time. The most common critique that we have heard from owners is that it is still too quiet. It is also quite heavy - I think about 32lbs compared to the OEM of 55 lbs and ours at 13lbs. The ceramic coating and smaller physical size both will contribute to lower under-hood temperatures. 33BRAVO - a long tube header set-up, no cats, and this exhaust is going to be quite loud. Initially, there's no doubt in my mind that you would love it - but the question is if it would be too loud over time for you. You'd be the life of the party at car gatherings (as I was with the Ford Racing Rear Exit Headers) back in the day!

In my personal opinion, this exhaust with the OEM CATs in place - or for those (like me) who prefer a little louder, this system with the Ford Racing cat-delete pipes (but which come with resonators), is a great set-up. 42 lbs less weight (high and all the way aft - right where you want the weight savings), cooler clamshell temps, and "sound to match the looks of the car" is what makes these exhausts attractive.

Looks Awesome. Want to hear one and also see teh BD version. Maybe this will be added to my list of the next Cooltech visit. Thnx Kendall. Can I take a number for a TLC on the GT? Late August or Sept?
