2013 Boss 302 + Borla S-Type Axlebacks install


Just made the switch, minimal install issues, went fine.


First impressions:
•Look and fitment as good as can be
•Sound different than stock but subtle
•Pricey
•Pricey
After running a day with these I question whether the change was really worth the cost. I run open side exhaust as it is and that was a noticeable change with the stock mufflers. Don't get me wrong I don't dislike the Borlas but if I knew how the subtle the change would be I'm questioning whether I would do it again.

Interesting comment. I would have to agree on not being worth the $

Looking at the prices for what is basically 2 mufflers with tips and a short inlet pipes I think all of the "axle back" are really way over priced.

The last complete system I got for a Fox body (H pipe with cats, cat back to tail pipes in 2&1/2" in stainless) cost about the same , but your getting a lot more material!

You like the sound though? I have S-type axle backs sitting in my garage that came off my GT500 and I've been debating whether to put them on.

Just a guess...with the sidepipes, small changes at the AB may not amount to much. It may also reduce the sound from the side pipes.

My GT has Boss side pipes and GT500 AB and it sounds way different than my Boss. Both have 3/4" discs.

Wonder if this new exhaust makes any difference in the performance in compare to the stock BOSS exhaust. Also checked this article about X vs H pipes comparison on a mustang

Almost any change to the stock exhaust will add a few ponies. Even pulling the discs has shown a small bump.
