2011 5.0 with GT500 axlebacks
Discussion
GT500 axlebacks fitted – awesome!
Took the 5.0 to Dave at Hertford on Saturday for a service and to have the GT500 axlebacks fitted.
Firstly thanks to Dave for the excellent service and fitting the axlebacks. Great to see a man who obviously cares about his work, his customers and his reputation. I am so glad I took the 5.0 there – highly recommended.
While the 5.0 is a superb car in every respect the exhaust note has always been disappointing for me. My previous 2007 GT was much more aurally satisfying and frankly the stock exhaust on the 5.0 is pants, I guess Ford were looking to expand their market towards a more refined customer – they failed!
If I drive a Mustang I want it to sound like a muscle car.
The GT500 remedies this failing in an awesome manner. It’s loud when you want it to be and quiet without drone when cruising. Why oh why didn’t Ford fit this as stock....
Driving away from Hertford I think the grin did not leave my face until I reached my destination in Norwich. Brilliant. The only down side is I just want to drive it all the time with the windows down – it’s killing my MPG!
Here’s a video of the stock unit, fitting and sound with the GT500’s. Enjoy – I am.
