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

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

Red370 · 09-08-2010, 04:35 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, 04:35 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.

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

Vegitto-kun · 09-08-2010, 04:37 PM

wow if that is too loud why even get a other exhaust haha.

Just unbolt the mufflers in the mean time.

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

You'll like the Bassani's then.....Very nice. Removed the sound tube and it's just a perfect blend of engine and exhaust with no drone or obnoxiousness...I really like them and I didn't want "loud"....

Nice. They are at the top of my list.

What's the sound tube mod anyways?

Ford stuffed some sound deadening material into the sound tube, you can pull one out from the engine bay, as well as the one down in the foot well.

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!)

I just removed mine completely to balance the sound. Inside is civilized, outside is aggressive when I get on it..
