Ford Performance - Active Exhaust for 2015+ GT *** FRPP Instructions Added ***

Just noticed on the site they have an active exhaust option available for the 2015+ GT.

https://performanceparts.ford.com/part/M-5200-M8

Haven't seen any reviews or write-ups as of yet. Sounds very interesting.

Why does it only fit the Premium when it comes with it's own GT350 lower valence to fit the quad outlets?

The GT350 lower valance only fits Premium rear bumpers.

At almost $2,600 I doubt many will want to review it, lol.

How different is this from the ROUSH active exhaust?

Why not just wait for the '18s to hit the market and see if anyone can find a way to get the upcoming factory active exhaust to work on the '15-'17s?

I don't get the point of an active exhaust in general. Why not just get an exhaust that sounds the way you want it to all the time. Also for 2600 you could get a corsa catback plus headers installed

It helps to not have your neighbors hate you.

At 2900 bucks I will stick with standard cat back systems, hopefully this isn't how much the option costs on the 2018 model.

Yikes ! the ROUSH valves are 1600 for just the valves, you still need to order their exhaust along with it.

I love the sound of my exhaust, but it's too loud for some tracks so I have to swap back to stock.... For that price I'll continue swapping. ;)

I thought the only difference between the base and premium rear bumper was in the lower part (fake diffuser)?

The base is one piece. The premium bumper is 2 pieces

Yuck expensive.

Why can't FP just sell the plain valence or a kit with louder mufflers (like ATAK)! The Sport is just too quiet.

I know the IKON one is pretty good but Id rather have the OEM one for say another $300-400 if cutting off part of the rear plastic. Im SURE they could make money selling the lower valences alone at $750

Well I'm definitely interested! Great idea if you want a bit of silence on long road trips, but want to rip it when in the twisties.

Shame no sound clips though. I would assume it sound like the sport exhaust in loud mode, and the touring when in quiet mode. No?

My question would be the 2 modes. Is it just touring and sport volume or something totally different.

If it went louder than Sport than maybe its worth the extra $ with the 350 valence.

FRRP isnt very forthcoming with details for their products really.

Agreed, I'm also looking for more details. Don't want to commit until I see the whole product and understand the install, usage and sound clips. There is not even an instructions on the site.
