Just curious is Ford putting Engine-Sound Enhancement on the 2015's? Maybe that's what you are missing. Check out this article;

How do you fake engine sounds? Is there a recorded sound that plays?

Only the 2.3L ecoboost cars get the ESE.

ESE is only on the 2.3 EB. It's not a "recorded" or "canned" sound. It uses the same hardware used to provide active noise cancellation (ANC) on Lincolns and the hybrid vehicles. essentially it uses several microphones in the car's interior which pick up the sound of the engine (and use data from the PCM like engine RPM) to "enhance" the engine's sound by using the audio speakers to selectively add to or reduce the engine's fundamental sound and its harmonics.

So they add a bunch of weight, which decreases the cars efficiency, to make it quiet inside just to pump outside noise back in. Yep! makes sense to me.

the standard sound deadening is to quell road noises and body resonances. attenuating the engine's sound is a side effect.

Default I thought the 5.0s had a sound tube too

I thought there was still a sound tube in the 2015 GTs too. The device connects to the intake tube and goes to the firewall with a box like thing about 1/2 way there. MMR makes a Sound Tube delete kit for the car. I have one waiting in my garage for my car to arrive for install(or uninstall in this case) as we speak.

Also, I am still looking for an AM exhaust kit that fits my Vert. All of them say they do not fit the convertibles because of the extra bracing under the car.
