Guten tag Origommi:
That's all the German I know, sad to say.
Need info about your car, please. Stock or aftermarket exhaust components? Please tell us if you have long tube headers (LT's), x- or h-pipe with or without catalysts (I suspect you have to have cats in Germany), and the cat-back.
If you have 3.5" dia. tips (aftermarket cat-back), you can get some Bassani baffles (about 8" or so long) that you can wrap with more fiberglass matting than they come with and this will quiet things down a lot. The ID of the baffles is 2.5" so they do not restrict the flow but they damp the sound. Sorry for the English/American units of measurement but you know how it is, lol. '
There is not much room to add bullet-type mufflers in series with the cat-back mufflers so you may need to go with "turbo" (baffled) mufflers rather than straight through.
Good luck with quieting down the car. What is the decibel limit in Germany? Don't Mustangs have to be TUV-tested or certified for import?
HTH,
Chris

So you'll fail inspection with stock 96 GT exhaust AND if you have any aftermarket parts!?? Sounds like a major PITA to own a Mustang in Germany...
Do they fail you if your CEL is on? Because a cheap exhaust mod (like shoving brillo pads up your tailpipes) might cause problems with the O2s
Best thing you can do it order some motorcycle muffler baffles. You might have to drill a small hole on the bottom of your tips, but that will quiet them down tremendously.
For example

They dont have states in Germany.
lol, didn't notice he was in Germany. He should move to the sates than

You have to explain what exhaust your running along with your engine setup, it seems odd there are Ferraris and Lambos along with exotics made in other countries with loud stock exhaust driving around in Germany. Unless they are just passing through maybe they know something we don't.

Yes, tell us. We know you have stock catback, but is your stock mid pipe still there? If not, that might be the ticket as 3 cats per side with the 96-98 stock H pipe is not only restrictive flow-wise, but also sound-wise.

Just new stock muffles may help. Being that the ones on there are 11 years old if they have never been replaced I am sure they are worn thus being louder. Just a thought.
I was thinking the same thing myself...Ive heard many of porsches that are louder then a stock mustang so i really dont get what the heck the problem is.
