I wouldn't change a thing about the exhaust. It sounds perfect as is.
How about just adding some sound deadener?

No wonder it's too loud. Swap the mufflers. Or add more mufflers under the trunk.

I'm well aware that’s what’s making it loud. However swapping the mufflers not only would quiet it down but totally change the sound which I don’t want.

and there is no room under the trunk to add mufflers.

How about a baffle with muffler pack in the exhaust tip like the bassani systems used to come with?

I had a car with those, they did absolutely nothing for the volume. I tested it on a track that had a sound limit and there was not difference.

Nooooooo....
Sounds epic the way it is. Honestly, one of the best Mustang exhausts I've ever heard.

Thanks - Because im over the car scene, and over working on cars its probably going to sit the way it is for a while.


Appreciate the suggestions guys but the quote below sums up why nothing is being done about the exhaust, or anything else for that matter.
I would probably sell the car before tearing it apart again lol. I have zero interest in working on the car these days.

Thank God.

That car sounds exactly the way that it should and how you would expect it to, based on the look of the car.

Sure has been a while since I have visited this thread. I hope bumping this won't get me into trouble however I just wanted to update everyone who followed me through this emotional roller coaster of a build thread.... But im here to post some final pics of the car in its final state during my ownership.

I haven't been driving it as much as I wanted to, haven't been enjoying it as much as I should and quite frankly I was wanting something different. So I posted the car up for sale and it was bought within 48 hours. Everyone thought my $50k price tag on it was laughable, clearly it wasnt. The car is awaiting pickup to head to Texas.

Now onto the next chapter, and with that I leave you with some final parting pics, thanks to everyone who sub'd here and followed the whole build, encouraged me when I felt like giving up etc. I truly appreciate it.

Such a sweet 4-eye. People always laugh at prices on social media. It gets old really.

Congrats on the sale, any idea on what's next?

Well then I'll probably see it at the local shows.
He was mentioning something about a small town where they shut down the road downtown and people park their cars on main st.. would be cool if you saw it, it will be on a different set of wheels.
