  Great sound, but .....

  The Ford Performance Touring axle back system sounds great, good deep tone, good burble between shifts. But, the drone is bad. Anytime the engine is under load the cabin drone is too loud. It is always present except when coasting. Constant 70 mph it competes with conversation or radio. I'm going to drive it for awhile and decide whether I can live with it or not.

  Solid purchase!

  This is a great upgrade over your stock axle-backs. I also have the BBK long pipes with the X pipe, transformed the sound of the car.

  Borla for 3.7

  I was not sure about a louder exhaust for a V6 car, but this system sounds great. It does not have the ricer sound that many v6 systems do. To get the correct alignment I had to loosen the clamps at the convertors. Once I did this it was simple to align and center tips.

  Wow...

  I’m of significant, mature age, and must say the product is a stunner. My vehicle is stock with one exception, a KandN Air Filter. A sixteen year old made a video in an almost empty mall parking lot so I could hear it. I’ve watched it a dozen times and disbelief is all I can say.

  New Tunes for my Cyclone!

  Mufflers arrived shortly after placing my order, just in time for Spring's warmer and sunny days to cruise. Installation was performed by myself and only took a few hours in my garage. Fitment was pretty close, I may have to adjust one side a little bit. Once installed they look great and my V6 has a much deeper sound. Combined with my CAI it's a little bit louder in the cockpit than I was hoping. First impressions - great product. Thanks American Muscle

  Looks great sounds great!

  Just like everyone else read a bazillion reviews and watched you tube videos ad nauseam. Didn't want stupid loud just a deeper rumble and better sound WOT over the OEM mufflers. Pulled the trigger on these Ford Racing Touring axle backs. Love the look with the embossed chrome tips and the sound is EXACTLY what I wanted! I recommend American Muscle as well! Great price and free shipping that arrived in 3 days. Tuffy installed them in less than an hour. Hope this helps those on the fence!

  Sound is right on the money.

  To say these mufflers were worth the wait is an understatement. I was looking at the Touring mufflers for quite a while and when I got the funds saved up for them and could finally place my order I did so. I am totally satisfied. Nice rumble on start up and the sound is great while going through the gears. Cruising at 70 in sixth gear they are pretty tame, which I like. When getting on it through the hears and taking the RPMs up before shifting they are awesome. If you want to keep the sound down when necessary, not a problem. I would highly recommend.

  perfect sound

  this is the perfect axle-back exhaust for a v6 mustang. The sound and the look fits and now it is a real mustang. Mine is a convertible automatic and driving open is my enjoyment. My motor mechnic needs only 30 minutes for changing. The sound is deep till 2k rpm and not painful loud. The max. sound level at 4K rpm in 1m distance I meashured 82 db. In the licence for Europe there is ordered max. 92 db. There are other products with lower price but I think this is the best choice, if You want the optimal sound for a ponycar.

  Great Exhaust Note for V6 Mustang

  Did some research and settled on this exhaust for my '14 Mustang v6. Love the exhaust note especially when you get on it and install wasn't too bad. Fit/finish is excellent. Unfortunately, my wife is also a regular driver and she was less than thrilled with the sound so unfortunately I'll be putting it up on DC CL soon. Highly recommend though if you want some kick out of the v6.

  2012 V6 Mustang w/perf. package

  These Touring mufflers are exactly what I was looking for. Not too loud and not too quiet. Just the right sound at idle and part throttle and gets loud at wot. Installation took a couple hours and fit/finish is great. I love the tail pipes. Best of all, they are not raspy or obnoxious.

  A beautiful deep tone

  The tone is beautiful. It has that perfect deep rumble I was looking for. Plus, you can't beat that shiny logo sticking out the back. I've tried other sets and they just have a raspy howl on take off, couldn't stand it. So far no rasp, all rumble. Perfect!

  Sounds like a V8

  Love them, sounds like a V8. At 1000 rpm great low rumble, 2000 starts to wake up, and 3000 rpm roars like a lion. Best mod I have done too date. I am 77 years old, and wanted a sound like when I was in high school, 57. That is what I got.

  Awesome strong sound, great looking tips.

  Just had these installed today at JBA Speedshop in San Diego. I could have self performed this install if it wasn't for so many other projects around the home. And I really would need a good set of ramps to raise up the back end. The install at JBA went pretty much as everyone else here has stated who did a self install. The initial swap was without incident but fine tuning of the tail pipe alignment added about 30 minutes. Once Todd at JBA turned the key I knew I had made the right choice. I expect things will only get better as they "break in". As a California resident I am subject to the dreaded CARB laws thereby limiting my possible choices. But I have no qualms with these units which weigh considerably less than the factory stock units and are slightly smaller in size. One surprise that I got was that these units are manufactured for Ford Racing by Borla. This surprised me because I could not find a sound clip for the Ford units. Had I known I might have paid more attention to Borla sound clips to get a better idea of what the Ford units might sound like. But it appears it has worked out nicely. The sound at start up is a strong low rumble. Blipping the throttle will provide an enticing growl with a slight burble. The other poster have said well what happens when you step into it. Four stars for the additional time required to bend the alignment rods to get things to line up. I highly recommend looking into these further. Don't disregard just because it is 50 state legal.

  A PERFECT MATCH!

  I have made several mods to my '14 V6, Steeda CAI, BBK 73mm TB, BBK Shorty Headers and the Ford Racing Touring Axle-Back Exhaust. I wanted the sound to be aggressive, but not so loud I would wake the children in the neighborhood if I happened to roll in late at night. These mufflers are perfect! I have the deep, throaty rumble that is PLENTY LOUD when I go WOT, and the perfect burble on deceleration. There is absolutely no drone, cruising at a steady highway speed you can't even hear it. That makes my wife happy. On a previous car I installed Magnaflow Street Cat-Backs, the drone was intense and the sound not what I expected. My wife wouldn't even ride with me. When I crank the engine, my stang produces a deep, powerful rumble that is music to my ears, as well as making some in the area wonder what I've got under the hood. Sure don't sound like no V6! The exhaust tips are impressive as well, they see 'FORD RACING', and the questions start. The reaction is always the same "That's a V6?!". To say I'm loving it would be an understatement indeed. Ford Racing has built the perfect muffler for those of us that don't like the high pitched "tuner" tone so many seem to like today. My V6 sounds more like a big block from the 60's and early 70's. If you want the classic 'Hot Rod' sound, these, or even the performance version, which are not legal in a few states, will give you just that. Happy motoring!

  Fantastic Product

  These axle-backs are perfect if you're willing to spend the money. They are quite pricey but for me were totally worth the chunk of change. The chrome finish is gorgeous and mine fit quite well. The install was very easy and these much lighter exhaust tips sound amazing. I daily drive my mustang and they are perfect for it. They are not too loud and sound great at every RPM. On ignition and at idle they sound mean, and once you step on it they scream even better. I have a CAI so I have not experienced the drone that others have complained about, but it sounds like a V8 all the way. I have had them on for a weeks and it has gotten even raspier. Stop looking and get them now if you're willing to spend the money.

  Sounds like mustang now!

  After listening to hundreds of clips of exhaust tones, looking for that Deep Low end,throaty tone. I found it, this exhaust is not loud at all, just a lil louder than stock and I have a manual 6 spd. No drone or interior sound at all. When you punch it you will hear it!! If your looking for a loud aggressive sound at low rpms I would recommend another setup. This setup is for cruising!

  Too loud for me

  Installation took me all day, because for whatever reason, the hanger rods (three per muffler) needed quite a bit of bending to get them to fit correctly in the factory mounts. To accurately bend them, they needed to be removed, so they were installed and removed many many times in the process. They eventually fit absolutely perfectly. They sound awesome and intoxicating rowing through the gears; just right not too loud or quiet. But, they are very loud inside the car steady-state between 2200-2800rpm, which with my 3.73 gearing, is interstate speed. Those with the typical 2.73 gearing will not have this problem. After two days of use, I put the stockers back on and had no problem selling the new mufflers.

  Great on the outside...

  I have these on my 2011 3.7L automatic. I have mixed feelings about them. Outside the car they sound fantastic, the best I have heard on a V6. Not too loud, but have much more burble than the stock mufflers. However inside the car the sound went up tremendously, much more than I would have expected from listening to them from outside the car. The increased sound is especially noticeable at cruising speed on the highway turning just under 2k rpm. It was so bad that after a week I got some sound deadener and coated the spare tire well and trunk floor. This took the edge off and it is much more comfortable now. I realize changing mufflers will of course change the sound inside the vehicle as well, but to me it seemed disproportionate. These mufflers are well made and sound great, just my two cents on the interior sound.

  Unexpected

  I didn't expect that. - WOW Installation took about one hour. Fit was good but not perfect. Left side wasn't a problem but the right side turned out to be a pain in the a... After a while, bending stuff and back and forth the line up was perfect and everything is good now. Downside. There are no couplers with the new exhaust so that means you have to cut off the ones on the original one. Then it was time to turn on the engine. Wow. What a difference. Idle sound is so much deeper and powerfull you cannot imagine. Between 2200 to 3500 you can't tell a difference between V6 and V8. Higher rpms sound is similar to OEM exhaust, just a little deeper and louder. Honestly, you don't need a louder exhaust. This thing sounds perfect and it gives you a total new feeling driving your V6. Now it really feels like some muscle car even if it's just the V6. Highly recomanded and it's worth each dollar.
