Ok..is it just me?............

Or is this thing TOO FRIGGIN QUIET?!?!!!
Even with the discs out it just doesn't sound good unless you hammer it....PLEASE tell me I'm not the only one who thinks this.
Anybody change out the axle backs yet?
Any idea what to go with?

This is good to hear (or not - lol).

The drone in my Cougar is so annoying that it prevents me from wanting to drive the car at all.

I dunno as mine hasn't arrived yet, but I've already got Roush mufflers on the way...

I have had numerous people at the track comment on how quiet the car is even with the discs removed.

Leaning toward either the Roush axlebacks or possibly the Borla S..........

The rear muffers are quite, but I really hate the drone from the aftermarket exhaust on my truck, so I'm leery to change them. I'm thinking about the SVT GT500 mufflers just to add a little volume from the rear.

Even though pricey, I would recommend this MRT exhaust made to work with the quad-pipe set-up. You can hear it here.

More pipes, more $$

For a daily driver, No disc is fine for me but a bit much for my wife to be, who will be driving it during work hours Easter to Thanksgiving. I have asked her to pick which discs she wants the 3/4 or 7/8 disc hole for every day driving. For the track, No disc sounds AWESOME!!! We must have differnt cars or vastly different expectations, or perhaps age, I'm almost 50. What ever the case, my car is PLENTY loud for me. I have heard some really great sounding after market exhausts for the Mustang. However, I'm going to spend my money on tires, brakes and track time!

I am with you on that. It must be an age thing. I applaud Ford for giving us a choice of changing out the disc to our liking instead wasting money. I thought that was the coolest thing to be able to make a few tweaks by just changing out the disc. I must be really getting old. I will put mine towards tires,brakes and LOL

Give me about 12 hours to pick mine up and I'll try to get a video in some time tomorrow for you. It's sitting at the dealership with Roush Axle Backs on it and the discs out. So once I can get over driving it...and hopefully avoiding bad weather...I will shoot a drive by video of it and let you know what I think

In for that video, because that is exactly what mine will sound like.

Yep. I loved a loud car when I was younger, now it gives me a special kind of headache that makes me grit my teeth the entire time I'm in my Cougar. Drone drone drone drone - ARRGH!

Update...it's supposed to be all rainy and thunderstorm and what not today. If the storms let up in time I will still take the video, otherwise I will have to wait until it's not all nasty outside. Either way I'm picking the car up in about 4 hours

That is also exactly what mine will be. Roush Stage 3 axle backs and no disks.

Love the concept, but $1500 for a mid-pipe???

Definitely have to agree with that. I've loved mine and there's no real drone to speak of... course that's on the 4.6 3v not the 5.0.

Any car with factory exhaust is probably going to be too quiet for most of us. That's just the way the make them.
I don't know if the Shelby KR mufflers will fit but they sound great and have ZERO drone at any speed.
