Isn't this supposed to be in Evil Capri's 'which is better'? ;)

mustangfan123 May 7, 2010 09:05 PM

^ :jester: owned


I vote 5.0, the 4.6 exhaust tone almost has no throatiness to it.

My 4.6 sounds pretty **** loud and throaty now!

I understand people's loyalty to the 4.6, but come on... the 5.0 hands down!

My question is why? 302 isn't that much bigger displacement.

Is it the shorty header on the 5.0? Is it different chambering in the axle backs? Is it the 2 ex valves vs 1? Is it the better flowing heads?

In defense of the 4.6 engine, that is one of the most subdued vids I've heard. My Bullitt is definitely different from that GT.

But the 5.0 wins in those specific vids. It is throaty and I didn't hear any rasp.

IMO

non comparable vids. One was 2' from the exhaust pipe and the other was 20' away. Big difference

StangMahn May 9, 2010 09:59 AM

based on those two, I say 5.0

but topbliss has ir right, you'd have to compare side by side

mustangfan123 May 10, 2010 05:15 PM

If my dealer has a 5.0 tomorrow I will take a good exhaust video of it so I can improve the exhaust note comparison in this thread. ;)

Ok, the records are not the best... i like both, but i think the 4.6 sounds a little bit better... :dunno:

Correct totally meaningless comparison. :doh:

I agree :)

hi5.0 Jul 17, 2010 12:01 PM

5.0, just because. ;)

CooBra07 Jul 18, 2010 01:28 AM

from those vids Im going to have to say that the 4.6 sounds just a hair better...lol

bob Jul 18, 2010 04:47 PM

None of the above to be truthful, they sound good but nothing and I mean nothing beats a fox car with a set of off-road pipes and 2 chamber flows - music from the gods!

HOSS429 Jul 22, 2010 04:33 PM

5.0 sounds better but id` like to have heard a full throttle blast .. the only camaro iv`e heard sounded like shi+ ..

super6stang Jul 28, 2010 04:10 PM

I can't endorse any stock exhaust. I think the 11 wins thanks to its video but it's really a coin toss.

berryrock Aug 11, 2010 11:41 AM

2010 4.6 is the best for me. I have no problem with that. It is better and nice to me. So, I am choosing this. This is best.

Mphill3 Nov 19, 2011 09:33 PM

:dunno: 5.0 may be the better performer but the 4.6 sounds better.
