Default Ford Racing X pipe, touring or sport cat-back?

Picked up a 2016 GT, which is too quite of course. Like the FR sound clips, looking for no drone and a nice but not obnoxious roar. Not sure if the x-pipe or touring cat-back are loud enough, or just go with the sport cat-back?




Thx

I was in the same boat immediately after getting mine. With 300 miles on it I did the met h pipe resonator delete. Adds a nice rumble, but very mild. Next might do rtr street axle back. From best I can tell only with sound clips it is also mild and no raspy, or drone. Of course the only sound clips are with the factory resonator. So expect it to be slightly louder, but same sound qualities. X pipes don't sound good to me personally. Too raspy and obnoxious.

I think the 2016 GT is enough

Thanks guys
Think I'll go with the touring cat-back, probably adds enough sound but not too much.....

What about an x-pipe but with stock mufflers on a GT?

Might have a tiny bit of rasp, but reasonable mild sound increase. The stock mufflers arent that good at noise reduction, but with the resonator, and cats they're good enough for stock. Three choices. Remove upstream resonator and cats, replace mufflers and leave upstream stuff, or replace mufflers and remove upstream stuff for the most aggressive sound.

Was my initial thought, but I don't think its enough. Guess one could start with that, then add mufflers if its not....

I just put on the RTR street spec mufflers this weekend and it sounds awesome in combo with H-pipe.
