The closest i've heard is a friend of mine, he has a 90 coupe with a pro-chamber with one chamber flows. :shrug:

Magnaflow or UPR X with Super 44's is pretty similar.

Prochamber/Stingers would also be a possibility.

Stock or shorty headers only...with long tubes all bets are off.

302 w/AFR 185's; carb'd and cammed...won't be quite the same but gives you a vague idea.

I have an 04 cobra and I have always liked the way the 5.0 sounded. I guess the grass is always greener on the other side.

we should enjoy what we have!

You need to be trying to make your 4.6 sound like a 5.0. I much prefer the more Muscle Car sound of a SBF to that of a Modular.

Lets face facts, its pretty hard to find a bad sounding exhaust combo for a 5 liter Mustang. I recommend a Prochamber or O/R H-Pipe with some Flowmaster 40's.

I don't think you can. Different number of valves is the biggest issue you will have. I made that journey when I had my fox. Closest I got was an x pipe and magnaflows, but it will still be way off.
