Another dumb exhaust question?????

RUNINAGT · Jan 28, 2008

Im trying to fugure out what type of exhaust is run on the lets say 01ish GT's. I hear these cars sometimes and they just sound freakn mean and loud.
We are sitting here @ work and our counter faces the road, well it's about 60ish outside and we have the doors open. This black GT rides by as he is idleing down to get ready to stop for the light, and it just sounds sweet, kinda going blop blop blop, iv'e heard him gas it before and it sounds good.
I know this is stupid without sound clips of his, but man I like that sound. It seems like only the newer ones can get that tone . Is it that they have larger diameter tail that come straight out the back and mine are stock tails that are tucked under the bumper?
My setup is loud but the other has that mean roar, I feel dumber the more I type , .
Anyway just throwing it out there, maybe someone else knows what im talking about.
Heres a clip of mine

They have a 4.6, you have a 5.0

4.6 sound > 5.0 sound all day long. No way to get that tone without swapping to a modular. I too wanted that sound, but will never get it!

TY didn't think I was gonna get a response. But now it makes sense.

Yeah, there's nothing really special about the New Edge exhaust, just that it comes from a modular. But your car's exhaust sounds great to me, that's how I want my Stang to sound, but I need to have cats on it.

Mustang5L5 · Jan 28, 2008

It's the engine that makes the sound.

I have the same exhaust on both my Mustangs....and the 4.6L > 5.0L

The 99-04's have a meaner sound due to slightly more aggressive cams than the 96-98 Mustangs,

LiquidGT · Jan 28, 2008

My friend has a 2000 GT with an o/r x-pipe with flows, that mofo sounds loud and mean.

The 5.0 still has that classic one of a kind sound. But 4.6 or 5.0, you can stilll tell its a Mustang from a mile away.

5spd GT · Jan 28, 2008

The sound from the 99-04 also comes from the increased airflow, via the intake and heads. It gives it a deeper tone.

I am with what Brian, aka 25th Mustang said.

I have owned both a 5.0 and 4.6L, it is the engine that does it

I swapped my heads, cam, and intake off of an '02 onto my '98, and the sound deepness increased slightly.

A Mac prochamber is a good starting point...

90five0oh · Jan 28, 2008

to me the modulars sound so freakin sick. i love that sound. im bout to get one as my DD and thats the first thing that its gonna get is o/r x and probly flows or mac flowpaths.. sry to jack the thread tho

25thmustang · Jan 28, 2008

Find a video of a 4.6 DOHC with LTs, off road X and Borla Stinger mufflers...

Just wow!

ryan218 · Jan 28, 2008

i like the 5.0 sound more

Mustang5L5 · Jan 28, 2008

The 5.0 sounds good, but the 4.6L has an "exotic" sort of sound in the upper RPM's.

I was just out driving my 4.6 around and rolling up to 5K in 2nd gear and then letting the RPM's come down on it's own. It sounded damn good. I was slightly jealous of myself for a second there

A friend of mine, 98greenmachine on here, has that on her 04 Mach 1

You said it right...

Wow!

I think those 3Vs sound quite well myself

25thmustang · Jan 28, 2008

The 3Vs do, but I have heard some that sound bleh... the 4Vs though always seem to sound pissed off. Even with a simple O/R H and Flows they sound great!

Strippt88 · Jan 28, 2008

Maybe I'm just the old guy here, and the 4.6 thing is great, but they will never, ever sound like a properly done 5.0, 2.5 off road X or H, with two chambers. Not a tinny, exhaust sound coming from mufflers, but thunder from under. Car alarms go off when I start mine, turn the radio off, can't you hear the real music? kinda sound. Yeah.

i agree with this guy. i love the 5.0 sound but then again the 4.6's sound awesome too. why not have both

RUNINAGT · Jan 29, 2008

I am running 40 series Flowmasters. Is there something meaner out there???

+1

While I do like the sound of the 4.6's, the 5.0's just sound better IMHO.

25thmustang · Jan 29, 2008

I run Spintech Pro Streets, coupled with Long Tubes and an O/R X. It is louder than my old Flowmaster/Prochamber/LT combo.

Exactly. My dad's 2001 Cobra with a Ford Racing FR500 x-pipe and catback sounds icredible, there's no toher car in my town that sounds like it, it's just beautiful!
