I've been reading this site for about a year now and now that I'm finally a Mustang owner I have just one question. Will I ever turn the radio up while I'm driving or will I always just want to hear the sound of the engine? I could have saved some money and just gotten a car without a radio!

I find myself in the same dilema. The sound of the Flows bouncing off the canyon walls is irresitable.

Me too. The wife gives me a hard time because I'm allways turning the music down. I'd rather listen to the sweet sound of the SLP's!

Now that you're addicted, the answer is No, it doesn't wear off. I don't have a Mustang right now, and I roll my windows down to listen to cars with performance V8 at stop lights. A 4 or 6 cylinder doesn't compare, and the Mustang has the best sounding factory exhaust I've heard on a new car.

It won't wear off ever. When we die we'll still have that BIG permagrin on our faces.

I sometimes open it up a bit to show it off

NEVER!!!!
You will hear that sound in your sleep Did you know that the first Flowmaster muffler was built in Santa Rosa Ca for a Mustang? He did one then people started asking for them. We had a tour of the plant and learned a lot. I have them on my other 3 Mustangs and I will never get tired of that sound Not sure if I will put them on the 06, sounds so good now

I forget what cd's I have in my changer, that's how long it's been since I've listened to the radio.

That must be nice.

The closest I ever get to that is revving the engine while going through an underpass....still do it every time though.

People asked me why I went for just the Shaker 500 and not the 1000 with the sub. My response, "and what, cover up that beautiful sounding exhaust?"


I still love to drive in 3rd at 60MPH just to hear it. And if there is a car with a great sounding exhaust near me at a stop light I'll turn off my radio and roll my windows down just to listen to it.

My problem is the more I hear the engine the heavier my right foot gets. Strange!

Can't see it ever wearing off. IMO. Took mine out last night for a final ride before it's winter rest(6-10inches of snow tonight) and my thought was "no radio to spoil this ride". When you have to put it away for a while you want to remember that "throaty growl".

Mine was even worse though . my new pony arrived the day before thanksgiving , i put 137 miles on her inbetween turkey dinners listening to that throaty growl .Then the next morning, bam , 5 inches of snow . Now i make numerous trips to the garage to just look at my pony in her winter slumber , so no i dont think it will ever wear off :P
