The crappiest exhaust system system you've ever heard.....

[OneWheelPeel]

Probably been done before but here it is again.....the dang new Mudstains with the factory cutouts is what I hate. I'm guessing it's factory since someone told me it was and I hear it soooo freaking much. Nasty nasty and I thought Flow Bastards were bad (20 years ago everyone had them bastards). Geez. Give me straight pipes over this garbage any day and I'll never complain about flows again!

To keep my response short I’ll stick to late model stuff and critique the 2019 Challenger Scat Pack I had. Every time I started it I thought it was so obnoxious and catered to the crowd that likes to make cold start exhaust vids. I think my fav is actually flowmasters on a 5.0 foxbody.

All V6 sound terrible, but a flat six is superb.

I kind of dug the note of the V6 on my 2018 Camaro when I rung it out with the convertible top down.

The running joke with Viper owners when I had my ‘97 coupe was the exhaust tone sounded like a UPS truck. Loved the car, but driving the car at “around town” speed, the resonating inside the car was awful. I eventually put in a Corsa exhaust and that helped a little.

My 08 Viper sounds pretty good. Best compliment I had was the Ultraflow 3 inch on my 528 Challenger, Chick at the parts store told me it sounded like a weapon. Never have understood the cold start fart pipe crowd,

My first Roadrunner had glass pack mufflers and sounded really nice. I am on my third bird and think about going back to glass packs. I have the magna flow mufflers on now but they are too quiet. I have been looking around to see what would work with my application.

nothing had quite the sound of the 68-9 plymouth blat, not sure if the tips had anything to do with it but sure sounded good!
one thing i can live without is hearing any harley!

my friends v10 truck sounds like a v6

Yep, I have had a V10 Ram for almost 30 years. We have always said it sounds like a UPS truck.... awesome truck however.

Anything with glass pack (Cherry Bomb) mufflers. I always hated that crackling sound. Or, most any new musclecars with cat and mufflers delete. They sound horrible.

I owned several newer Mustangs in the last 15 years. I had a 12 model that had Pypes muffler eliminator tail pipes installed by the original owner. It basically just ran the cats as mufflers. Apparently Pypes did some tuning with them but I’m not sure how. They were fairly loud but fairly deep and not raspy. I actually liked them a lot when rowing through the gears.

Then I bought a slightly used 17 Shelby GT350 Mustang with the dual-tone, anctive exhaust systems. For some strange reason it was set up to open the valves in the mufflers when you park it. The first morning I went out at 0630 to start it and it kicked off with an enormous blast that would wake the dead for 3 or 4 seconds until the valves would close. That first morning my neighbors Great Dane that was in the back yard was so startled, it raced back into the house, into their bedroom and jumped into their bed. This was never going to do so I started researching how to work around this open muffler start up defaults. Strange that Ford didn’t provide for this. I finally on my own found that if I left the clutch pedal alone and pressed the start button, it would power up the muffler valves and close them and after a couple seconds I could then press the clutch down and hit the start button, which still let it start with a rumble but much, much less like an explosion. I got to where I would typically drive to work with the active exhaust systems closed for some relative quiet. But coming home from work I would frequently open it up to listen to the system when rowing through the gears. With the flat crank and different firing order it had a different sound than normal Mustang GTs, probably less raspy but definitely a loud shriek on its way to 8,000 rpm’s. Sold that after a couple of years but I do miss driving it.

A couple of years ago a neighbor kid got a new Mustang GTs and he replaced the active exhaust with something. It’s even louder than the Shelby was when he fires it off in the morning. I was out jogging one morning and could hear it plainly several blocks away. After about a minute of warmup it settles down to a rumble but then he climbs in and rips it through the first couple gears leaving the neighborhood with a raspy shriek and howl from the exhaust. Drives the neighbors crazy - I call it the Mustang from hell. How’s that sound for an old, grumpy man deprived of his hot rod Mustang? Fortunately he has gone off to school or moved out of the house and all is peaceful.
