Ever wish you still had the stock exhaust still on?

[Mustang5L5]

I appreciate the sound of a nice Mustang, but man, i must be getting old.

More and more i'm wishing i kept my stock GT cat-back.

Even though my car isn't that loud with only a Flowmaster cat-back on it, there are some days i'll be driving around and wish it still had the stock exhaust. It's not the drone that gets to me...it's the overall loudness.

i love the sound of my mustang, but some days i agree, i just want to make a quick drive to the grocery store and not make a huge deal out of it.


i would also like to drive 80mph on the expressway without the drone, i have to do 75 to avoid the drone

or when you been sitting at a stop light and all you smell is uncatted exhaust but after a few minutes your all

I never get tired of the sound of my exhaust. I rarely listen to my stereo. I just listen to the exhaust notes.

 

[mransr]

ditch the Flowmasters and get Magnaflow...they sound almost the same as stock when just driving around

 

[spitfirees20]

No.

 

[deftsound]

never, i get a hard on just thinking about how mean it sounds

never, i get a hard on just thinking about how mean it sounds

I only wish it was stock when a cop pulls up next to me.

I only wish it was stock when a cop pulls up next to me.

the 4.6 being such a wuss of a motor they sure scream with a o/r midpipe, and catback

I have a pretty mild sounding exhaust (mac prochamber with magnaflow mufflers) so it's not too bad.

My current setup is dumped which makes it louder, though I will be putting the tips back on shortly which makes quite a lot of difference. Car surprises people with it being so quiet and I have even heard people making jokes about it at local car meets

 

[scupking]

Sometimes I wish I did but 95% of the time I love what I have.

when I dont wana make a ruckus I take the 97 taurus

I've run my 2.3 with an open 3" downpipe and had an officer pull right up next to me at a light. He definately looked my direction, but didn't do anything. He probably figured it was a huge POS and the exhaust recently feel off. Literally, it was an open 3" exhaust, only muffled by the T3 turbo. If he didn't like it, I could always cork it up by putting the cutout plate back on... I should really spend the money to make it an electric cutout.

I only wish it was stock when a cop pulls up next to me.

I agree with the flowmaster comments. If it is too loud, get rid of the blow-masters.

Hey I still have my stock catback on and I hate it. I have headers and o/r h-pipe, it still sounds stock! hey if you want to trade I would be more than glad too

 

[BurningRubber]

Nope, wouldnt want a stock catback on my car at all.

Mine isnt loud enough for me. My setup is UPR O/R X and Mac Flowpaths coming over the axle dumping almost straight down... major resonation under the rear end and I still cant get enough.

Any time I get a chance I roll my windows down and cruise in the "drone zone", blipping the throttle here and there to put a smile on my face.

The only time I wish I had the stock system is when I'm retightening my Magnaflow catback. For some reason I have to tighten it down a couple of time ayear. However, it's not a reason to get rid of it. It sounds great in a "quiet" way. Pearl02.

 

[StangYellow]

I take my other 4.6L (F150) instead. I like having a quiet truck/daily vehicle and then the obnoxious yellow car when its sunny

 

[MaxedGT]

I reinstall my stock catted h-pipe and I actually like the way it sounds better. The Magnaflow catback sounds just right with the the stock h. I only leave the BBK x-pipe on because it makes a lot of extra power at the track but it's a little loud for my taste.
Here in the great white north, some beer companies sometimes sell their beer in soft sided coolers, as bonus. Somehow, I ended up with several of these coolers. so when I pulled out my seats to install a driveshaft loop, I cut the coolers up and added them as sound deadener under the carpet. Worked like a charm. With the windows closed the exhaust noise is way lower in the car. And the coolers weigh almost nothing, unlike dynamat.

 

[04GTMustang]

yes i certainly did right after i put the midpipe on because i took a 4 hour road trip and heard the drone the whole way but then got use to it and wouldnt take it off ever
