99 exhaust sound on 5.0?

jocko · Dec 18, 2004

is it possible to make a 5.0 sound like the 99 and up gt with the x pipe or is it the two cams that make all the difference,they sound so wicked i think im going to let the 5.o go,do they still have the 8.8 diff?anyone know where i can get specs?

I would venture to say that the difference in sound has more to do w/ engine size (5.0 vs 4.6) rather than the cams.

To each his own, but the 5.0 can me made to sound very wicked

Are you really concerned about differential size? If so, post in the 99+ forums and ask them...that's your best bet for specs I'd say.

yes, they still have an 8.8 solid axle, except the 99 up cobras have an independent 8.8. why?

jocko · Dec 18, 2004

just wondering if they had a weak diff,somehow everytime i hear a 99 and up gt out there it sounds better than the 5.0.

Get an off road x-pipe or H-pipe and some magnaflows, my car sounds just like my dads 03 mach 1 except alittle higher pitched and raspyer because his car has a MRT 2.5" catted H and my 2.5" H has no cats, but we both have the same mufflers.

HISSIN50 · Dec 18, 2004

it is all about the engine itself. things like configuration (OHC), firing order, etc all contribute to the sound - it would be easiest to swap that motor in if one wants that cadence.

hey 79 pacecar,i got shortys,off road h,and 2 chambers with tailpipes and nothing like that sound.

795.0pacecar · Dec 18, 2004

My mufflers are straight through, magnaflows.

Heres a clip of my car.

They aren't exactly the same but I dont think you'll get much closer without putting a 4.6 in it or doing some head and cam work.

jocko · Dec 18, 2004

you car sounds nice,do you have a head and cam package?

795.0pacecar · Dec 18, 2004

Nope, all my engine has is exhaust, it even has stock headers which I will be changing to aftermarkets shortly.

Mustang5L5 · Dec 19, 2004

The exhaust from all 86-04 Mustangs is pretty similar. Just your basic H-pipe and cat-back setup.

The difference is the engine.

I do agree, the 99+ does have a more intense sound to it's exhaust. I have the same exhaust on both my cars and my '03's just sounds more "exotic"

Yep it's all the engine...

A Prochamber can get your car to sound more like a 96+ Gt...I've heard them on a 5.0L with longtubes/chamber/mac catback and it sounded nice...but it still doesn't have the sound of the 4.6L...

Even with my "cam lope" headers/offroad H/2 chamber flows...it still doesn't compare to my 2000 GT (I had) with Mac Prochamber and Mac Catback ...still the best sounding "combo" on a 4.6L mustang in my opinion...

Next week (after Santa brings it to him)...my friend is putting on a Prochamber on his 00 GT...I can't wait to help him out with it...just resuse the stock passenger side manifold/pipe gasket...bought the new driver side manifold studs for the seal/and some liquid wrench and hand tools and he is on his way to a nice sounding 4.6L

i had spintech with an o/r xpipe on my 01gt, let me tell you, that car sounded crazy. People would always give me a drive by thumbs ups, even had a cop do that. When I had my 1st 5.0 i wanted the 4.6 sound, then when I had the 4.6, i wanted the 5.0 sound again. Guess it's what one can't have

MustangMulch · Dec 19, 2004

I use to run a prochamber with mac shorty's and flowmasters. It didn't sound like a 4.6, but it was the most beautiful sound ever. Prochambers rule.

Michael Yount · Dec 19, 2004

Lots of things impact sound quality - length of system, diameter, location - number-and type of cats, h vs. x vs. no crossover, engine type and size, state of tune, compression ratio, type of head (4 valve vs. 2 valve makes a difference), muffler type, location and configuration -- all these things make a difference. Very difficult to emulate a particular sound.

You can come close though - do a search - the mod motor can be made to fit in the Fox body. That'll give you that 4.6L sound.

I tend to like the sound of the 5.0 better. 5.0's just sound a bit deeper to me. But I guess to each his own
