Even when Ford were producing crappy built, slow arse mustangs, the v8 at least sounded right.

I think it sounds OK stock, but I still think its entirely too tame for the beast beneath the hood, which is why I ordered the Magnaflow muffler deletes, i swear my neighbors are going to hate my guts when I leave for work in the morning, just listen to these things:

Can't watch the vid at work, but I'm well familiar with what Magnaflow can do with a v8. My dad's Suburban can be heard approaching from 2 blocks away, even if it's comfortably cruising.

I say go for it! Why not get a loud, in-yo-face exhaust for the stang? They're meant to be nasty.

I'm not into obnoxing my neighbors! The Bassani's are music...

That doesn't sound nicee at all.

I mean it is brutal but it is too loud.

I thought my pre-LTH exhaust was loud.

but that is so loud is such a different level that I want it for some reason

That's too crazy for me.

the cold start on that thing is enough to wake the dead, i'm giddy like a effin schoolboy, unfortunately they are on back order until the 12th, so it'll probably be a few weeks before I get them

Just unbolt the mufflers in the mean time.

I didnt give that any thought, excellent idea

m4a1mustang · 09-08-2010, 03:20 PM

I'm looking at the Bassanis and Borla Touring and S-Type.

Red370 · 09-08-2010, 03:35 PM

who wants to drive a quiet V8? definitely not this guy, I want people to KNOW the 5.0 is back

I hate my neighbors anyways

m4a1mustang · 09-08-2010, 03:35 PM

Haha... I just want a good sound for a daily driver. Nothing too loud. The FI 18" CBE was a little too loud for my tastes even.

of course i'll keep the mufflers if it gets to be a bit much, i'm just tired of all the Camaro douches around here with their screamin' ass loud exhausts, I gotta match or surpass, and I believe that goal will be achieved

Every redneck in town...Mustang, Camaro, and Pick-up truck sounds that way....I went for the more sophisticated sound....

Very Euro without screaming that "I'm 20 years old and want to offend you!" (cause I'm not...but that's me....I'm old!)

That's my style, too. I like a refined, highly tuned sound.
