Hey everyone, I'm the proud new owner of a 2006 Mustang GT of which I love how it sounds, however my wife is the primary driver of the car and she thinks the exhaust is too loud ("drones" is her word for it).

So that brings me to my question, how can I make the stock GT exhaust quieter? She had a 2006 Eddie Bauer Explorer before this so she got used to luxury quiet. If it's bolt-on stuff I can do it myself, if I need to take it to an exhaust shop I just need to know what to have them do.

Thanks!

If you bought it used, I suspect you do NOT have the stock exhaust, especially based on your descriprion of it being too loud and droning. The stock exhaust doesn't drone nor is it at all loud. I suggest you find a set of takeoffs. Unless the previous owner had the components welded, replacing the axlebacks is an easy bolt-on job.

Quieter??? OMG... thats just wrong...you have to change wives!! LOL...(sorry couldn't help myself..)

Nuke

OMG, too funny. Even my g/f loved it.

LOL...I just think there should be a qualifying criteria for Mustang owership...dont pass the test...then..."NO MUSTANG FOR YOU!!"

Nice to see Nuke has a properly educated g/f!

(ok so I had a bit too much coffee this morning...)

hahaha I could not agree more. But OP, do as Nuke said. Where did you buy it from? When it comes to the likes of mustangs and other sports coups, one of your first questions should be: Is it stock? Most owners of Mustangs, Camaros, Challengers, etc etc modify their cars to their own liking (not that I have to tell anyone on here that).

Either you've got yourself a Mustang with an aftermarket exhaust setup or abnormally loud stock mufflers.

I saw a GT modified to look like a stock v6. Even had the mufflers repositioned to show only a single tip, and it was quiet.

But then she opened the hood, and I was blown away.

Had to mention it

Can we get some pics of the exhaust so we can tell you if it is in fact a stock setup?

If it is aftermarket i have stock GT mufflers and im in georgia too, depending on the brand id be willing to trade mine+cash for yours or just sellf my stock mufflers outright. Its a simple install, i installed my boom tubes on my own

Post a video of you starting the car or just look on youtube for stock gt startup.
