A growing appreciation for the 2.3l sound

[doulos4jc]

The sound of the EcoBoost was never a consideration for me when I was shopping for the S550. But here lately I've really begun to like the sound of the four-banger. To give it a little help I installed cp-e's catted downpipe. That gave the exhaust note some needed deepness. An open filter cold air intake along with ANC(active noise cancellation)delete lets me hear exactly what the engine is doing. The turbo mustang has a unique, sporty sound all its own, and I like it.

You're the first person I've ever heard that likes the sound.

Get in back seat, peel back headliner at top center of rear window, unplug ANC...done.

I still haven't found an exhaust sound clip that's made me want to change anything. Borla Touring is the closest I've heard because it sounds deep but barely noticeable. No way I want to DD a raspy drone machine, and that's what all of the "aggressive" options sound like to me.

So you actually like it too? Is yours stock or have you done something to improve it? Sound clips are always nice.

Factory Stock!

That's not ANC; that's ANP (active noise production).

Solo Performance.

Call me getting old but I am fine with the sound too. But so far only the stock exhaust. First I had a full turbo back catted downpipe with magna flow exhaust. Just terrible noise and vibration. Then stock downpipe made it better. Then stock exhaust with no resonator. Better but still 2000 to 3000 rpm resonance. Then back to stock and nice and smooth sound. Nothing like a GT but for me much better then trying to make it sound like something it's not.

Sounds better with it deleted...super easy, give it a try if you haven't already.

I think the EB sounds great. The youtube videos are what makes it sound like crap. Hear a mbrp race with a catless downpipe and tell me it doesn't sound good...

Exhaust was the first thing I did on my GT. It's the last thing I'll do on my EB.

I don't think it sounds bad, just not the head turner a V8 with longtubes is.

Yeah I was on the same boat had a really hard time with all the YouTube videos cause they sound funny but ended up with the mishimoto catback. I really dislike the name but it was the deepest quietest exhaust I could find and it doesn't make a peep while driving normal so I'm happy I got rid of the stock heavy exhaust that thing was a tank!
