Ever wish you still had the stock exhaust still on?

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.
