Hey, guys.
Stephanie with AmericanMuscle.com with a quick review of the LTH Muffler Delete Axle-Back
Exhaust for 2015 and up GT Mustangs and I'm gonna go over the sound, materials, price,
and install of this axle-back.
This is an axle-back that's gonna be a good option for someone that would like a loud
and aggressive sound at a very budget-friendly price.
This is a Muffler Delete Axle-Back, so if it was anything other than loud, I would think
something's wrong here.
This isn't a quiet upgrade, so if you're looking for something tame, I'd say go back to the
product page.
This axle-back's going to provide a huge change in the S550 GT.
It's loud, it's aggressive, and it's throaty.
It has a deep tone on start-up and it's got a little bit of a rolling rasp to it as you're
going through the RPMs.
Since this is a Muffler Delete Axle-Back, I'm going to rate it as a solid four on the
loudness scale when compared to other axle-back options.
Keep in mind that if you decide to change your mid-pipe or headers down the road, that
the sound this thing produces is going to be even louder.
This is already a night and day difference in sound and volume even with the factory
headers and mid-pipe still installed.
So like I said earlier, without a doubt, this axle-back is deeper sounding and more aggressive
than the factory exhaust.
You can hear that you have an aftermarket axle-back on the car from inside the cabin,
but I wouldn't say there's too much drone.
So this could be a good option for daily drivers.
If you're looking for that aftermarket forceful sound, then this is gonna be a good option
for you.
This is a full 304 stainless steel axle-back, so it's going to be perfect for all cars,
even the dailies that see harsh elements in road salt.
The 304 stainless will protect it from corrosion.
And another thing that's gonna help protect this thing from corrosion is the Titan satin
finish that LTH has added here.
LTH puts the product through a process that gives it a bright, uniform satin finish, so
you're not gonna see any discolorations from welds or heat, and no scratches in the product
either.
But the finish is about more than just creating a nice looking exhaust, it strengthens the
stainless steel as well.
This is a 2 and 3/4 inch axle-back, so it's a bump up from the factory axle-back which
is going to help with exhaust flow.
But speaking of that, you're really opening up a lot of exhaust flow since you're completely
deleting the mufflers here.
There'll be no more filtration of the exhaust gasses after the resonator.
This is also gonna drop some weight from the S550 as well.
And as far as tips go, these are 4-inch slash-cut tips that have the LTH logo blazing on them.
LTH does offer this axle-back with black tips as well if you're looking for that type of
style, but that version is going to cost a little bit more.
When it comes to price, this is going to be one of the more affordable axle-back options
that are currently available which is really nice to see from a full stainless steel axle-back.
But then again, you have to keep in mind that you are missing a big component with no mufflers.
But if you start to consider the prices some of the other options that are out there, coming
in at over $1,000, the $400 for this system sounds nice.
The black tip version costs about $20 more.
You're going to be looking at the typical cut and clamp design with the install for
this axle-back, like all other axle-backs.
I'm gonna call this a two out of three wrenches on the scale just like all other axle-backs
just because of the cutting that's involved.
It's nothing difficult, but I would just recommend some eye protection and a fresh blade to make
the cutting easier.
Overall, you're looking at about two hours to get this done.
All right, wrapping this up, this axle-back from LTH is a Muffler Delete Axle-Back, so
you can expect a big change in your exhaust tone and node.
This is a loud axle-back that's going to provide a lot of volume and a little bit of rasp.
It's a full 304 stainless steel system that's easy to install, but it's like other axle-backs
in the sense that it does require some cutting.
