Now an aftermarket exhaust, particularly the magnaflow one I looked at, will make it sound great, but all stock, definitely not impressed with the sound.

I felt the same way when I drove a friend's GT 500 last year. It was stock and very quiet. Interior was boring, and I felt like the car was being held back. A new CBE would have really opened the car up to attention, though.

Your review doesn't surprise me. However, I've been seeing some new Mustangs on the road that are already sporting aftermarket parts, if the sound of the exhaust note is any indication.
