Mustang engines and sound

[dstang01]

What is your favourite sounding stock late model mustang? The 5.0, 4.6 2v, or 4.6 4v?

 

[BurningRubber]

Stock? As in stock engine or stock engine/stock exhaust?

Stock exhaust they all sound weak, but with exhaust and a stock engine 4.6 4v any day of the year.

 

[Superhereaux]

5.0, by far

 

[BennyBlown2v]

4.6 2v, my car sounds better than all the 4v guys I know, and most of them even agree lol.

 

[PlatinumDevil]

4.6 4v>4.6 2v>5.0

the 5.0 sounds like a truck imo. The 4.6 has a nice exotic tone.

I've owned a 5.0 before btw, i liked the way it sounded but even then i thought the 4.6's sounded better.

It really depends on the exhaust set-up, there are some 4v's that just wow me, but for the most part i'd have to say the 2v's sound better.

4.6L 4v

 

[03ghoststang]

4V , and its a tie between the 5.0 and 4.6L 2V for me

Interesting how they're all sorta the same like people know it's a mustang coming but to the trained ears of enthusiasts we can for the most part tell wether it's a 5.0, a 4.6 2v or a 4.6 4v. Of course for me I'm biased but I love the sound of my 4v spinning at 6000 rpms+ with the magnaflow setup I have. My neighbor does have a pretty sweet sounding 93 5.0 with headers, gutted cats and blowmasters.

 

[bakos24]

man, thats tough. I like how they all sound

 

[01BlkGT]

4.6L 4v

 

[04fullitgt]

4.6 4V with a full bassani exhaust.......

 

[Ernad]

man, thats tough. I like how they all sound

though I have a special thing for mine

 

[5.0's 4 ever]

4.6 4v

 

[HoustonGT]

4.6 2v sounds better the 4v to me because its not as gurgley if that makes sense and Bassani on either one is just

 

[Mossberg]

4v by far. This sound never gets old.

I still think my car sounds like sex though.

 

[BurningRubber]

4v FTW

Thats the same setup I have on my GT, but it sounds quite a bit different on my car.

 

[Twista]

96-98 2v GT's. they are pretty loud stock compared to new stangs stock for stock.

Seems after 98 all v8 mustangs came stock with quiet mufflers.. (01GT) and esp the damn 03-04 Cobra.

edit: How did the topic change? He said STOCK.. not moded exhaust lol.. people are listing MAC muffler videos and stuff.

To me it really depends on the exhaust. I personally think 2Vs sounds better with flowmasters or magnaflow. I don't like the sound of Cobras with flowmasters, yet they sound better with borla and bassani.

 

[CatmanJJ]

4.6 4v sounds better then the 2v to me because its more gurgley if that makes sense...

Fix.t
