Only advise is to check your spacing and position of the tips. I had mine sticking out to far from the bumper and had to re-do them. It was hard to judge the position when it was on the lift. Everything is a tight fit and I had to wrestle them off, be patient, mask off the bumper to advoid scratches and good luck. And take pics during the process for everyone else to learn!

Took about an hour to swap mufflers, this was using a lift. Sound is super , not too loud but a very deep rumble. The way a Roush should sound.
Sorry no pictures. Batteries in camera dead!

This was a complete axle back, bolt-on system correct? Where did you buy it?

Though those mufflers are labeled "Roush" who makes them? Borla? Magnaflow?

I'm interested in the off-road mufflers, but didn't want to drop $$$ for a whole axle back kit with tips.

I saw a set of magnaflows that looked like the Roush Off-Road mufflers, just wondering if they are the same...

Let me know what they sound like when you are cruising. I am interested if they have a drone around 2k RPM, especially under acceleration, like on the freeway.

As far as sound goes now you can hear the exhaust at cruising before as you know it was whisper quiet. They are not that loud til you let it rip!!

Two reasons I went the Roush mufflers were 1) they went on with no mods like welding or cutting and 2) it kept the Roush all Roush .

Also I have only driven it 15 miles since install will let you know how I like the sound after the weekend.

the roush off road version are made by borla for roush (borla stingers in disguise). I had them on and they do sound awesome, but the drone was there at 1900-2100 rpm's. this kit includes new roush tips, and can be bought for 550-590 range.

But If you have the OEM polished roush tips, why spend big money, for two more tips?
would like to buy the system, sans tips, if my OEMs will fit.
