I think the answer is obvious...cause the sound is simply awesome, though my Stang has an X pipe and Magnaflow catback everyone can still tell it's a Mustang.

 

Let me put it you this way...I have BBK longtube headers, Dr. Gas o/r X-pipe and 2 chamber flowmasters and it still isn't quite loud enough! I'm surprised at all the stock votes because I definetely don't want my car sounding like every other mustang on the street. It will still have that distinctive "don't F w/ me" mustang sound, but it will sound a lot better.

 

Exactly. B) There are times when I think my car needs to be even louder and my friends think I'm crazy.

 

Some people who are saying stock...have obviously never driven an 8

Its SO addictive, you want more

 

Actually some of us "stock" people have driven an 8. This will be my forth Mustang and all have been 8 cyl. 2 standards, 2 automatics. I changed the exhaust on my 1990 to a Mac system and I did like it. On my 97 GT I ran straight pipes for a while, which sounded awesome, but at most times was too loud.

I will stay stock for a while but, I do agree, it will need to sound more aggressive. First I will work on the body, then the sound.

 

No kidding, like u get use to the sound after a bit and u just want more. After having an 02 GT with exhaust and going to a Mach 1, the Mach 1 sounded too quiet, I couldn't stand it. Not to mention I hated gettin piped by a fartcanned ricer and not being able to pipe him back with my stock quiet junk.

 

SOmething funny happened today. two ricers where parked next to eachother and said if they turned and revved their car at the same time, that they would sound like a V8. I laughed at them and they just sounded twice as annoying. I can't wait for my mustang.
Long headers are going to be a must for me. Not only do they look awesome under the hood, but they will sound meaner.

 

Just based on Dustin's video, my 2005's exhaust will remain stock. I've kept my 1989 5.0 LX's exhaust stock since new, still sounds fine to me.

 

I'll keep it stock 'til the Jones get the car, then its aftermarket to show 'em who's boss B)

 

noice!

 

where is that video? Is it still around?

 

Even if I like the sound I'm still giong to an aftermarket set for two reasons. The first being that I will install an all stainless steel after-cat system because when it snows around here they salt the roads like theres no tomorrow. The second is, someway, somehow, I will figure out a way to mount side pipes. I have side pipes on my 97 and I love them. Thats just me though. B)

Oops, wrong link. I've fixed it now.

 

Not valid

The GT COMES with an ALL STAINLESS system from the get go, as does the V6!


But at least you have one good reason to upgrade

 

Yeah, right here.

Just watched the video and that does sound pretty good, but the jury is still out I think. I just can't get over the fact that the mufflers are right near the bumper I think there's a 100% chance of seeing the new mustang with fartcans and that's a shame. :shock:

 

The GT exhaust is stainless steel.

 

As has been said.....if piping is mandrel bent, its a relatively cheap muffler swap.

 

The GT exhaust is stainless steel. [/b][/quote]
I think i hear an echo

 

Man, can I vote again? I originally voted stock exhaust, but now you guys convinced me to at least add some mufflers. That's probably what I'll do.
