I'm still waiting to hear a Coyote engine that sounds as good as my 4.6L with cams/longtube headers did. Most of them are kind of raspy and sound bad next to V8 Challenger's and SS's.
I don't think the EB sounds bad at all with an aftermarket exhaust. Sure, it's no V8, but it's not a fart can 1999 Honda Civic, either.
I enjoy rev bombing V8's. :D
Oh yeah, full throttle pulls with the windows down sound really cool, too.
I like the burnt tips. That's a good price on a catback. I did a Lethal Performance Y-pipe and NXT Step axleback on mine and spent a little more than you did. It's nice to have low cost options.
Does it have any burble and popping to it?
The EB is a great car. I have a lot of fun in mine. Boost is addicting.
It is, however, not a car for the thin skinned. If you need to validate your purchase on the opinions of others, you're going to have a bad time in an EB Mustang.
All the ones I see are around the 15k mark.
Cams, longtubes, supercharger + 15k would put you around 25k and you'd be sitting on an easy 550+hp badass sounding car.
DO IT. For me. My wife won't let me buy one just yet since I just got my EB 7 months ago.
I would love, love, love to get another 4.6L V8 and build it up again. Cams and longtubes make the 4.6L sound absolutely amazing. I had a nice lopey idle on my 4.6L with my Crower cams. Sounded like a muscle car from the 60's.

I get a lot of compliments on my EB. Probably because of the color/vinyl wrap combo.
And here's the weird part....I've gotten quite a few compliments on the exhaust.
It comes down to preference. There's no wrong choice of engine. For street driving you will rarely get the chance to use the power the stock EB has let alone the 435hp a GT has.
For drag racing, either engine can be built to get into the 9's. I suppose if you want lower than that you'll need a...
I'm well aware of the risks of modding. I'm doing it anyway. I heavily modded my 97 GT. It was a reliable car - 500+miles a week for several years.
Believe me when I say this isn't my first time modding a car. I don't mean modding in terms of CAI and exhaust. I went all in on my GT. And like...
Let me clarify, since some of you aren't understanding what I meant by reliable. I am not after an extremely aggressive tune. I am after a safe tune that can support further modding. This is why I am not using the FRPP tune. The FRPP tune cannot support a downpipe. It cannot support an upgraded...
I am well aware of the advantages of the 5.0 over the 2.3L. I'm also at 6,000 feet - the GT isn't the balls out monster up here that it is at sea level. It's not the point, though. I'm building up the EB for fun and with my play money. I'm not financing any of this (aside from the car which will...
So, here's the thing. I am going to tune with either Lund or LMS. I am asking for information on these tunes. I provided a basic roadmap so that I could get the best advice on the most viable tuner (out of the two) for my future plans for the car. I do not want to have to switch tuners later.
I...
The time has finally come for me to tune my car. I've had it for 7 months and while I really enjoy it, the stock tune leaves me wanting.
I'm selling my rental property and we're set to close on June 1st. My wife has agreed to let me tune my car after we close. I plan to order sometime in the...
