Yea that's one funky system....:doh2:

I bet that is the Laguna Seca version with electric cutouts. What I don't understand is the transmission. Reverse is not in the same place on the right as ours. On the 5.0's, it has the old fashioned reverse safety lockout. You have to push down then left and up. What's up with that?

Yep, saw that. Wierd side pipes. Cutouts must be closer to the cats cause I don't see them...

Every Boss features the unique quad exhaust system. Two outlets exit in the rear similar to a standard Mustang GT, the other two outlets exit to either side of the exhaust crossover, sending exhaust through a set of metal discs that act as tuning elements before the pipes terminate just ahead of the rear wheel opening. Visually subtle, the side pipes flow very little exhaust but a lot of exhaust sound, providing a sonic experience unlike any other Mustang—and giving home tuners an additional avenue for modification.
“We added the attenuation discs to meet legal regulations, but we knew buyers might operate these cars in situations where noise regulations weren’t an issue,” Carney said. “The disc is removable and includes a spacer plate sized to match aftermarket exhaust dump valves. If an owner wants to add a set of electric valves, they just undo two bolts on either side; the disc and spacer slide out and the valve will slide right in. And the side pipes are tuned so that drivers can run wide-open and the sound levels are comfortable—very aggressive but livable for an all-day track outing.”

So does it come in BLACK and Silver too?

The "Red" looks Orange. IMO

The BOSS is a bit disappointing IMO.

I'm loving my raptor but i really wanted to get a new 5.0. I couldn't find a reason why I needed one. I want a mustang needed a truck compromised and bought a Raptor. Now with the Boss coming out and being this badass I'm really glad I choose to get a Raptor now. Only problem I see with the Boss is it is going to take away customers from the GT500 but you can't really loose when choosing between them. Ford keeps getting better and better.

Is that Red or Orange in the Picture? I hope its Orange.

The 5.0 tranny isn't made by Tremec. Its a MT 82 and not a beefy as a TR 6060. I guess we will see how well they will hold up.
