very happy with this on a recent big trip I took. This was 95% highway with my cruise set at 75-82 almost the entire portion of highway drive time. Under the same conditions/etc, my 2001 5-speed 260 hp 4.6L V8 would have been about 20 mpg. I guess that’s technological progress!

Is the smoke white or black? have you checked your coolant level (if the smoke is white)?

The earlier model’s version of the Coyote (before 2018 my) sure had better looking engine dress up. Much better available covers in the aftermarket too. I’m assuming what @k_myers has won’t work on 2018+?

Before: after: I may still do what a few others have done and trim it/paint it or just remove it. Still need to remove the sound tube.

Absolutely. It’s insane at how low of speeds it will get to 10th in D. But when I’m in sport+, it’s way better and usually doesn’t get past 8th gear at speeds under 45 mph unless I’m driving very passively.

So far, I’m impressed with the A10 in my 2023 GT. I will echo though that it acts a little wonky until the trans fluid warms up, and that in itself seems to take extra long. But it’s pretty good once you let the trans warm up. And if I’m driving aggressively or around town and don’t want the...

Very interesting WD Pro. Thanks for posting that info. It’s seems strange to me that with an identical exhaust system from the manifolds back that the 23+ and prior cars see such a material bump in torque when replacing the resonator with an x or h pipe but the 24+ doesn’t. It could also just be...

Just watched a few videos from Steeda comparing the stock resonator, their x pipe and their H pipe on the dyno. The 2021 GT picked up some nice torque gains between 2000-3750 rpm with their H and X pipe. The 2024 GT they tested showed very little gains overall between the stock resonator, x-pipe...

I think Reaction Time (r/t) only matters if you are racing head to head. It does not affect your 1/4 mi ET. I don’t know anything about your car but your ET seems great!

What diameter are the OEM tips for the active exhaust? 3”? What about the Mach One? I think the Mach One tips are perfect. I suppose I could go outside and measure mine but it’s NASTY outside at the moment lol.

Appreciate the links. I read thru them and there are only two individuals who really followed thru and installed slip-on style tips that they seemed to get to work for them. I definitely do not like the ones from Australia-they stick out way too far for my taste. The black ones Tish used seem ok...

The only thing I don’t love about the stock active exhaust are the tips. They are a little too small for my liking. Are there any good replacement tip options out there?

Said another way, if I buy an aftermarket catback exhaust system, is any cutting required or is it 100% bolt on?

That’s also what I was thinking. Easier to check the oil without the sound tube in the way.

I’m going to detach it and listen to the exhaust (and plug the intake hole) before I completely remove it. I do really enjoy the sound of the stock active exhaust and don’t want it to be raspier because of not having it. but I do know my 2001 Mustang GT and 2008 Pontiac G8 GT didn't have any...

Also, does the sound tube have any sort of actuator that increases or decreases the sound tube effect depending on the exhaust mode (if you have an active exhaust car)?

How is the sound tube connected at the firewall? What remains after removing the tube on the firewall end?

Interesting thread. Any downside/cons with installing Steeda’s IRS braces? How’s rust-resistance?

yes; the g87. Keep in mind that I did not actually look at the m2 - only sat in and test drove a 230i because there were no M2s anywhere to be found. I considered ordering one but when the BMW dealer told me the interior of the M2 was super similar except steering wheel and seating, that was a...

@Dave2013M3 I was shopping between the Mustang, m240i and m2 a few months ago and ended up with my 2023 GT. Curious-what did you think of the m2 interior? I only was able to sit in a 230xi but the dealer said the m240 and m2 interiors are largely identical but for the steering wheel and seats...
