Not surprising since the 5.0 has a factory H pipe and the GT500 uses an X. The X is a lot quieter and smoother at idle and in low revs.

You'll prob wanna go with the gt500s then. If you wanna be a notch louder than stock. If you dont wanna be too loud and you dont want rasp gt500s prob be the ones for you.

That's what I did. Have the GT500s sitting in my garage

My order for my actual car got picked up Friday. I am supposed to get a VIN # end of this week. lol.

Nismoracer, just curious, why'd you switch up to the 5.0?

Remember that scene from Blackhawk Down at the staging area...

" I don't think I can get the Roush axle back, sir"

"Thomas (Dan), its what you do right now that makes a difference"

*camera focuses in on monitor... Dan orders Roush AB, Steve nods in approval*

So do it.

That sticker must only be for the New GT since every previous GT had garbage under the hood.

^ actually the 4.6L could hold its own quite well. Is it better than the 5.0? No. But it wasn't THAT bad. Actually, it responds to boost better than the 5.0.

What I think needed a lot of improvement on the 4.6's were the interior and suspension/handling, all of which have been addressed in the 2011+ stangs.

m4a1mustang · 10-18-2011, 09:32 AM

I liked the 4.6. It was nothing special N/A but they are boost monsters. Easy to double power reliably with those things.

A stock 2010 is basically a mid 13 second car, which is pretty much average these days, so it was never a dog.

Yeah, and that 4.6 was around for quite a while...of course it was dated towards the end...

GZ3 · 10-18-2011, 12:19 PM

Red, if your worried about sound why not just look into an off road H or X...louder than stock, no drone, sounds Awesome!.. and a good 15-20rwhp gain...cheaper than axel backs that gain 0 hp/tq

Want to stay emission compliant. Not trying to go down that road again.

red6spd · 10-18-2011, 03:50 PM

A 4.6L V8 that made 260-315hp soounds weak to me. A 2.0L 4 banger putting out 240hp, now thats an engine. The new 5.0 is the only GT Stang that I would give a second glance at.
