Exhaust Question: Axle Back System vs Muffler Replacement
I'm looking into doing a minor exhaust swap on my '17 Mustang GT.

I don't want to go with a full cat back system, as I am not really concerned about increasing the performance (I'm happy with where the car is at), and I want to keep the stock resonator as to not make the car too obnoxious. Highway Drone, etc.

That said, I have been pricing the Axle Back systems, and the Flowmaster American Thunder kit seems to be what I am looking for. It has the Super 44 Series Mufflers and is priced at about $600.00. Basically a bolt on kit.

However...

Pricing the mufflers alone, they are only about $90.00 each.

Sounds like I would save quite a bit of money if I just went to an exhaust shop and had them chop the stock mufflers and install the Super 44's? Is there any real advantage to an axle back system vs just swapping the mufflers?

Thanks in advance.

either way works...

just replacing the mufflers keeps the factory look and resonators in place.

Exhaust shop unless you want to change the tips.

I used a place in Grandview, MO called Roses Muffler (family owned for like forever) to do work like this. He tucked a single 3" system under my 260Z to a SS Magnaflow 3" in 2 1/4" out w/ 2" tips. The tips cost more than anything else but looked great. He enjoys being able to do quality work and will let you bring your own stuff.

The tips and rear valance is really the hard part.

Like I said good tips are expensive, replacing muffs only is the economical way to go.

If I were you, I'd listen to "Bugsindentalwork" and do the opposite.
