Does the 2016 GT use the exact same resonator and mufflers as the 2015?

Yes it does

The only differences that I'm aware of are the turn signals on the heat-extractors and Sync 3 for the infotainment system.

And for 16, the Performance Package is available on convertibles. It wasn't an option on the convertibles for 15.

Thanks for the responses. I asked the question because I've heard a lot about how the 2015 GT exhaust is way too quiet. Based on those comments, I was surprised that my 2016 GT is nicer sounding than I expected. It has a subdued, but nice rumble that's a step above what I normally would consider a factory stock system.

Of course, that doesn't mean I wouldn't like to have a Ford/Borla axle-back Touring system! I'm just scared that anything from the aftermarket will cause droning, and I don't want even a little.

One company out there makes an exhaust system that has J-Pipes on it which they claim eliminates drone.

Have you had a chance to drive or ride in a 2015 to compare? Of course it is subjective, but my guess is those saying its too quiet really want a much louder rumble instead of something that is a little more noisey.

Good point. That's probably true for many guys.

Let's see, $790 for two mufflers and a few feet of pipe (Ford/Borla axle-back system). Or $799 for a new Quincy air compressor for my garage. Crazy-high prices on new Mustang add-ons, especially compared to hot rod parts for 50s-70s cars!

The prices are because it is a new car. After another year or so the prices will come down. Some of these companies think $1200 is a good price for a cat-back. I can wait...

I bought a Legato axle back system for just over $300.00. According to the muffler shop, this system uses Flowmaster 40's. Here's a link to this system.

Before you do the axle back system, get an X-pipe and replace your stock resonator with the X-pipe and see how it sounds. I liked the sound of the stock mufflers and wish I had done this X-pipe first, before adding the axle back system. There is nothing negative about the fit, finish and sound of the Legato system, and now I'm la little concerned about adding the X-pipe and making the exhaust too loud. Right now with just the Legato axle back system the exhaust sound is on the money, to my ears.
