Default exhaust is almost too loud...

I traded in my 2006 GT coupe for a 2007 GT convertible recently and re-installed my FRPP stingers. Man, it's pretty loud! I'm almost at the point of putting the stocks back on. Guess it'll take some getting use to. The coupe really muffled the sound.

Hmmm, I have an '08 GT vert on order and was wondering which exhaust to go with... I was thinking the loud mouths would be too loud so I was leaning towards the FRPP's... What's your tolerance for noise? I live in a fairly quiet neighborhood and don't want to be the a-hole on the block, yet I want that beefy V8 sound that'll make me grin from ear to ear whenever I stand on it.

MAC exhaust you can't go wrong. Louder than stock at idle, but just enough, and growls like a muscle car when you get on it.

For me it was the drone, not the volume!

And droooonnneee

Hit the Corsa's. No drone, reasonable sounding below 2400k rpms and a real screamer above. Really though, you need to listen to each one in person.

Hey, I thought being the block a-hole (or the town a-hole, tri-city area a-hole etc etc) was what driving a mustang gt was all about lol...seems like as soon as the exhaust gets bolted on, people start frowning/scowling, diving into the bushes, clutching their children like you're gonna swoop in and steal them...that look of disapproval on their faces...I LOVE IT!!!

See I have heard all these exhuasts on the exhuast thread and not one has sounded like what I want. I want a proper low V8 burble sound at idle and i want it to stay like that while cruising but when I put my foot down I want it to growl big time.

Can see me getting one custom built to what I want when I get my stang.

I love my boom tube. Sound like SLP but without the raspiness. I am the neighborhood a-hole, the neighbors tell me I wake them every morning at about 6 am with either the car, or my truck, a 02 h-d with a custom built 4" exhaust which rattles windows and sets off car alarms.
