When the pics of the 2013 GT500 quad exhaust came out, I really liked the look as opposed to the 2012 single exhaust. When I picked up my 2013 Boss, I decided to try the 2012 GT500 axlebacks. They sounded really good, louder and deeper then the stock Boss exhaust, but I still wanted the quad outlets of the 2013. I looked into it a bit and it appears the rear bumper cover on the GT500 and the Boss are the same. It's the valance that is a bit different to allow for the quad outlets on the 2013 axlebacks. I picked up the valance and it popped right on in place of the Boss valance. Just took about 8 fasteners and an hour to take off. Then maybe 15 minutes to put the new one on. Pretty simple...and very easy to change back if I get tired of the look....attached are some pics before and after.....what do you think? Lots of pics...op:
Pics of the original valance with the 2012 GT500 mufflers...
Here are some pics of the rear side showing the fasteners and how easy they are to get to...
Here are the fasteners that have to come off....
Couple pics of the rear of the car without the valance....
And a couple pics of the rear with the GT500 valance installed, just waiting to install the quad axlebacks. The reflectors do have to be swapped out of the Boss and onto the GT500 valance....
And now with the axlebacks installed....
And the finished product....what do you think?
The sound is great...not much different than the 2012 axle backs, but it does look better, at least to me. And the best part is, it's a 90 minute job to take the car back to stock if I ever wanted or needed to do so.
Just waiting for my black Forgestar rims and tires to arrive and I think the process to make the car my own will be complete....at least for now :dw:
Thanks to forum member Michel for supplying the axlebacks and for being such a stand up guy about the whole transaction....:beer:
