Not much sounds better or meaner to me than a cammed C6 / C7....and I am as far from a Vette guy as you can get.
Does anybody else think the 5.0 'Coyote' doesn't sound very good?

For me the sound is dependent on the car. If it is a fox it should have a bump. If it is new mustang I am used to hearing not bump. I have to admit that the sound from a ls motor with a cam is the best of both worlds "for me".
Who cares? The people who make the rules.
I haven't owned a Coyote but I have owned most previous gen mustangs. My personal favorite sound came from my PI 2v with cams.
My apologize for bring up an old thread. Shame if it has to be stopped, great subject. Sorry guys, no intentions to upset anyone just wanted to learn about what others have noticed as well. Looking over the rules, believe we are on the topic, there are a few guys picking on me on the subject but thats to be expected. It seems subjective if the mods want to look at this as being not worthy of a good subject, personal IMO as it seems with others too, it is a good subject. There is more information on the subject including guys running f150 cams which is resulting in different sounds as well as mid mufflers. Anyway it can be closed if you want just would be a shame imho.

My rule of thumb is 2-3 months at the most. Everyone is different and also the section and/or topic plays a part.

Stampede didn't lock it, so I guess you get a pass.
Anyhoo....
No, I don't think the coyote sounds as good as the 4.6L or the old short block stuff, but it doesn't sound "bad"....just not as good.
To each his own though.

I would think a 3.5 year old thread does in fact constitute as an "old" thread. That being said if you bring up an old topic in a new post they tell you to search. So if you search they tell you not to bring up an old thread. So it's a lose lose situation.
That being said I am a huge Borla fan. I have Borlas on my Termi and on the last F150 I had. I heard some local 5.bros with ATAKS on their car and it sounded horrible. Sounded like just noise.

This. Its mostly due to mufflers at the end of the system vs middle like SN95/Fox. I dont peruse here much anymore but I recall some people were custom making exhausts and putting the mufflers mid mount and they sounded much better with the coyote. Though like everything, theres exceptions, and its all subjective anyways when it comes to exhausts.
this, I think the 4.6/5.4 stuff has a sound that's nearly impossible to beat, hard to compete against it. Also seems like some of the demographic buying the coyote cars seem to go for volume which rarely also sounds good. There were quite a few people that put the SLP stuff on new edge cars and I thought they sounded like ass too
will have to listen when I get home, I loved my gen 2 with nothing more than a big magnaflow dual in/out
sounds great but I have to admit I like it less after seeing a fox with like a B cam, full exhaust etc... make low-mid 200s on the dyno. Now it's somewhat the sound of disappointment lol (this dyno day was around 12-15 years ago so my memory may be off slightly but I remember being surprised in a bad way at the numbers as healthy as it sounded)
A stock head baby cam 5.0 will not make a ton of power. They were 225 stock at the flywheel.
This car made ~260/300 if I recall
they did sound incredible...I had GT40 heads, GT40 intake on a 94 with a B cam, then later F cam...was a fun car and those alphabet soup cams sure did have nice lick to them...
Well yeah, they were dogs compared to today's cars. I thought we were just talking about sound.
Wrong. 4vs beat that and then there is the ca’am’ed LS.
Check out his fly by at 12:30, it's sounds pretty badass...Kooks 1 3/4" long tubes, Kooks 3" X pipe and 3" Dynomax race bullets.
That sounded really good actually! Thanks for posting.

My old 91 gt with a 408 stroker with headers, Mac prochamber, and Mac pro dumps sounded mean.
It's hard to beat the sound of a 4v with full length headers.
