So what kind of exhaust do all you ragtop folks have?
A coupe having borla exhaust is one thing, but with our top down. You're hearing the full sound.
So let's hear em...

Running the stock exhaust in our 13 GT500. The sound is amazing with the 5.8!

I haven't even made my first payment yet!!!

I got my springs and spacers, and should get my Boss 302S wheels today (and hope I don't need the spacers). With any luck my Goodyear shop can handle the install tomorrow.

Once that's done, I can start my exhaust research. What do you ragtop weenies recommend? I'll be making every effort to not drive my GT in crap weather, so the top will be down as often as possible. I like the idea of hearing the rumble at idle and at speed with the top down, as God intended.

RedGt12,

That's a good one and I would personally recommend the Roush Axle Back. This is hands down one of the best sounding systems for the Coyote and can be driven conservatively around town but once you want to drop the hammer and make her sing, she really comes alive!

Just put on the Ford Racing Sport Axle back. BTW these are made by Borla. Very nice sound in low RPM. Very quite when on Hwy.

David, I put the GT500's on ours, and the Wifey is very happy (you know it's her car ). Nice sound, doesn't **** off the neighbors, and there is no drone at all. If you want loud, these probably won't be your choice though.

These are also know as the Ford Racing AB's. BTW, American Muscle does have the best price on these. I looked around to make sure. And, if you have the discount code they are even cheaper. Cheaper is good.

And, all due respect Alex. The Roush are just to loud for me.

GT500's. Still have my resonators, debating that. Always a tough call with top down..... Radio blasting or listening to the burble and the roar! Always do a little of both

I find myself listening to the music of the engine more than the radio now.

After getting it down to 3 choices,

Gt500, roush, and ford racing sport.

I went with roush. Heard a friend with that on there. Loved that sound he had. I wanted the ford racing one but that was nearly 200 more. So I'll put that elsewhere.

I know this is random, but This bites the big one, just got our of my car, thought there was a small rock in tire thread. Turns out there's a nail stuck in the tire. It's gonna need new tires soon, but not what I was wanting to find at the moment.

That sucks! At least it's only one and still drive able.

That actually happened to me right before I traded in my v6. Except it was a whole strip of nails stuck in both right side tires. First glance I thought it was vandalized bc I only saw tires in the sidewall. But then I saw them on the tread.

TireCare ESP actually covered it.

Have it patched David, you'll be fine until you can get some new tires. There's so much crap on the roads these days.
