With the exception of the boxer engine, all four cylinder turbos with fart cans seem to me to sound like the muffler got ripped off while driving over potholes in the trailer park.
Just sayin.
I wish it sounded good..but it just doesn't.
I wish it actually made the car throw you back in your seat..but it doesn't.
It just sounds like your cars broke. Or you're broke...and 16 years old.

It sounds completely different from in the garage compared to on the road. In the garage it's awesome! Perfect sound for this car. On the street? Horrid.

It literally is both the best and worst sounding exhaust for this car. Need more vids to see how it actually sounds, because this vid almost seems to show two completely different setups.

I think the before sounds good. Not to loud and just a bit more aggressive then stock. But it sounds terrible once they remove that plate... Even firing 4 cylinders just do not sound that good... I wish Ford made the EB odd firing. Then we could get closer to the sound of the lima 2.3 or even this which sounds great in my opinion.

Not impressed with this one either. Borla Touring and RIP Tuning are my two favorites right now. Still holding out hope that Cobb or somebody does something unique. Most of these EB exhausts are all starting to sound the same to me.

Not a fan. RIP is my favorite so far. WMS downpipe with res delete and stock mufflers isn't bad, but I'd like to hear it do something besides free rev.

Sounds terrible

If I end up w/ an EB, I would be so tempted to do a center exit system w/ big ass mufflers to keep the thing quiet.

Cut out spare tire well, new valance...whatever it takes.

Love the quad tip, not a fan of the sound...hopefully some others make a quad tip exhaust to be used with the rear diffuser.

My god this sounds terrible, I really hope a good sounding exhaust emerges.

I'd love to see a video of a stock catback w/ catless downpipe..

Again. Why they do not look what other companies are doing. Look at the little FIAT 500 exhaust in idling. Top noise.

Doesn't sound as good as you would think IMO..

My buddy has one of these (bone stock) and it sounds amazing. My bet though is that this engine is just... different. I'd imagine the crankshaft is different which is why it sounds different, but I'm just guessing.

Here you go!

....that sounds horrible as well.
