I like the looks of it and the idea behind it but was kind of disappointed with the exhaust note. What disturbed me most was not one Ford Technician but two Ford Technicians tightening bolts that probably only require around 12 Ft Lbs of torque at the most with a pnematic gun instead of a torque wrench and posting it on YouTube. That might be considered a Quality Fail :doh:

Again. Why they do not look what other companies are doing. Look at the little FIAT 500 exhaust in idling. Top noise. :D
I heard a Fiat Ab the other day in a parking lot...sounded annoying as f--k.

Old beat up and thankfully running strong
The manual removal of the exhaust plate thing is crap. There are so many companies that make remote controlled valved exhaust. That sadens me more than the way it sounds and I'm a DIY guy.

Car sounds like ass. I plan on keeping it as quiet as possible. Maybe a cutout for racing and keep all the mufflers.....just not the cat.

I think at this point we can all agree the Ecoboost is not going to sound good. Oh well, can't get everything you want.

A torque wrench? LOL.

What disappoints me more is that someone would think you need a torque wrench to tighten two little bolts holding on an exhaust tip. In most shops, techs use an impact for just about anything. They are not putting on cylinder heads. Torque wrench!!!! :headbonk:

Why?, cause I saw it, listened to it and it sounds terrible. I've owned a few EcoBoost vehicles, Focus ST, Fiesta ST. The exhaust notes fit those vehicles not the Mustang. I would personally leave the exhaust stock. I drove the EcoBoost Mustang and I liked it. Personally I just wanted the extra power.

1. You didn't just insult the exhaust... in fact, you didn't really criticize the exhaust at all. You critcized the engine/car.

2. Your post reeked of what they call "drive-by" posting, where you simply come into a thread, make a smart-ass comment, offering little-to-no insight or context, and then leave.

It's fine you prefer the GT. I have both an EcoBoost and GT myself. However, you can't deny your post came off like an uncalled insult to EcoBoost owners.
