I don't have a Boss, but in my '12 GT Sync is pretty much worthless. Definitely not worth taking a loss for if that was the only reason to upgrade. The road noise in a stock GT drowns out my voice, and most people on the other end can't hear me as it is. I couldn't imagine how bad it'd be with the exhaust discs removed in a Boss.

I'm not a big fan of the Shelby front-end look. I'm not sure what it would take for me to switch.

Has this crossed anyone elses mind?
How much do you drive your Boss? 8 months tops? Mine won't see snow.
I'd like the little gauge package but not worth a swap IMO.....

Use it for pit crew communication.

That's a good point. I usually have the windows down in the Boss and on top of the open side pipes, the Corsas are pretty loud too. I love it in my truck for hauling the Boss to the track.

I have my discs removed and this is why I like taking the Boss when the Missus is going to ride with me. "What's that honey? I couldn't hear what you said."

Or just do like my dad and remove the hearing aids. My hearing is already suspect at best. I am looking forward to making it worse with plenty of WOT runs.

That because the 500 is weak sauce unless you get into it.

The 500 doesn't need a special key for it to sound like a race car, you just have to hit the gas pedal. otspilledonyou: lol

Check the original comment, 93-331-29psi is talking about his GT, not a boss.
