Best Sounding Exhaust
- Thread starter Kyle55
- Start date
BBK LT's, Catted-X, 18" Dynamax Bullets for resonators, GT500's.
The Bullets eliminated the rasp I was getting from the X-pipe. I had Roush AB's for a short while but they were just too damned obnoxious. Threw them in the trash. This setup is as close as I have found to what I consider old school muscle sounding. Gonna go catless with E85 this summer, mostly for the Powah, but think I will make a video so I can make some comparisons on the exhaust note.
2012 Mustang GT, A6, tuned, ADS, Forgestars w/MT Sport Comps, some BMR suspension goodies, 390rwhp, 372 rwtq
Can you post a video??
I've always loved the sound of my cars with long tubes, OR X and Magnaflow magnapacks / competition series cat backs. I think I may be going in a different direction with my next exhaust set up as I think this car sounds really good!
Long tubes, OR H, JBA competiton series

Different car, but same set up, from the interior...

Here it is. Best I could do on my iPhone. I am not a computer wizard.

Cool it takes the sharpness off of it.
I have the JBA off road H Pipe. Switching from a Pypes catback to MBRP right now. Hopefully I'll get the sound I want
I prefer my Roush with the cats way more than my current GT 500 with x pipe. You can't beat the sound of the Roush exhaust. Also, I lost some low end torque when the car is not in boost with the x pipe which sucks big time.
That's odd. I haven't put my car on a dyno but I don't feel like I've lost anything at all when I went OR but definetly feel like I've made gains. I guess it could be a little less torq somewhere in the curve but I sure don't feel it and that passing gear from 60-90 comes on a lot stronger. Car is a lot more raspy now but I like it. It's one of the most if not the most aggressive sounding Mustang exhausts I've had.

I have corsa;
5.0= stock manifolds, ORX, corsa extreme
GT500= stock manifolds, ORX, corsa extreme.

Dang, my Heartthrob isn't even listed.
Anybody running borla s-types with a ORX and bullets for resonators?

I just installed GT500 AB on my 2012 GT auto. The rest of the exhaust is 100% stock, and it's PERFECT and exactly what I wanted.
Awesome sound at start up and when getting into it a bit, without being obnoxious. Louder then stock with a nice smooth, tuned and hearty muscle sound with some gurgle, and no rasp (do not like a raspy sound)
And perfectly quiet and tame when just driving around normal, and has zero drone.

Roush only - decent sounding and not too loud
Roush w/orx and lethal over axle pipes - ugh
Long tubes, orx, lethal pipes, and gt500's - perfect
Lt's, orx, mbrp street series catback - decent around town at light throttle and can be raspy under medium load. Switched from gt500s to mbrp for lighter weight, straight thru design, and black tips

Just got done with my full JBA install and I cannot be any happier with the sound. It's exactly what I wanted. Cold start that won't wake the neighbors, very moderate tone at cruise (no drone but you know you have exhaust) and super aggressive at WOT.

I cruise 40 highway miles a day for work with 3.73s and I don't get annoyed with drone, but when you open it up you'll wake the dead.
I'm sure when I toss on off road pipes it will be way too loud, but for now I'm happy. I can't justify dropping hundreds on exhaust.

Can anyone compare the volume levels of:
A) Roush A/B with stock exhaust/cats/resonators
vs
B) Kooks A/B with offroad X, stock headers.
I keep hearing the Roush sounds horrendous with an offroad X so i have held off putting it on while I wait for my Kooks. Its HARD to wait as well as its also preventing me from tuning the car heh.
