I think it is a little small for 500 hp. I had a 62-65-12 which I know is smaller but I would hit 1600 degrees pretty fast and actually warped the housing. I heard alot of people like the 64-65-13 but have never tried it first hand. I would not go smaller than 62 71 13 or 14 for 500 +. My .02

Love mine. I only haul a slide in camper, & I've only got it over 1400* once. That was passing a subaru on a 8% grade from 45 mph to 80 mph. I hit 1500+, but just for a few seconds. That was with TNT on SW-9.Normal DD I can only get to 1200*.

bigwheels94..... does your exhaust ever drone? I am looking into a system and wondered about the 5" drone I hear about. I am leaning toward a 4" from Silverline. I will have very similar mods to yours when done. I have the turbo and Floor-it stage 2 pump here waiting to put on till spring. I just got my 75hp injectors from JL Machine installed and it gets pretty hot quick, it also can really roll the black smoke, sometimes even when I dont want it to.

Ataboy. Yeah, it drones. Kinda annoying. I may put a 51" muffler on it one of these days. The stock minus cat, & muffler droned too. I had a small muffler in place of the stocker, but it still droned.

I had a 62/65/13ss and upgraded to the 64/65/13ss when my engine was being rebuilt. I miss my 62, I have too much smoke down low towing just plain sucks compared to before. I think when winter is over I will send it back and get a 62 again. The top end is killer with the 64, but I need to tow and it's a daily driver.

Drone
I know of others who found totally different solutions but that is what solved my drone problem.

I really love my 64/65/13ss. It cools great and spools great. But it goes back to the auto vs manual. Manual, go 64, no problem. Auto I would lean toward a 62 unless you got plenty of fuel to help spool a 64 but it will be at the expense of smoke. Here is a dyno vid, everything set to kill (TNT/TST stack), but you get the idea on smoke. I did miss gear going into sixth so lost all rpms then hammered throttle. Tac

It was a little low-509hp, no torque numbers. It was a mustang dyno so a lot of people were disappointed. I didn't have anytime to tune either so more potential there. I need cp3 and injectors now. Tac

Maybe there are many kinds of drone. My drone is all exhaust note. About 2500rpm it starts to BLLLAAAAA. that resonates through the cab, & will get my ears ringing on a grade. I can live with it, but I would like to quiet it down some. Maybe someone could post a recording of "drone". I may have the wrong idea about it.
