Axle back exhaust options for 2025 ST

[Ryan Explores]

Any recommendations for axle back options on the 2025 ST? I dont want brutally loud, just something so I can actually hear this vehicle, dont want a heavy drone either.

let me know what you guys think, want the Borla S type but you cant seem to just buy the muffler snd tips.

Anything that fits 20-24 also fits 25

Gibson would be the best bet to do what you are looking for.

I originally had the Gibson kit on my ST and loved the way it sounded, but ended up switching it out to a full system when I decided to to downpipes and other mods.

Sounds good! Any annoying drone in the cabin on the highway??

I have never heard of a Gibson having any drone. In a job I had we sold and installed a lot of them and never had a complaint. I had one on my pickup and zero drone.

Thanks!

None at all. Gave it a nice deeper tone outside, and you could barely tell anything was different on the inside.

How was install if you remember. Looks like 2 cuts with a hack saw 1.5” from the bend. Seems simple, if theres any nuances to the install that you feel like sharing pleas lmk.

It was super simple. I ended up taking it to a shop b/c I waned it done "right now" and wouldn't have been able to do it myself for another week or so. They insisted on welding it, but it came with 2 clamps so the welding isn't necessary.

So simple! The cuts need to be really straight for the pipes to slip over but other than that no issues. I did use some JB weld around the joint just to keep small exaughst leaks at bay.
