After years of lurking the forums and endless research, I have decided to go with forced induction for my 2015 Mustang GT (20,000 miles on it). One thing I notice is most people do NOT run catalytic converters with their supercharged S550. This obviously makes the car very loud, which I am not a fan of. I understand some people run superchargers with cats, however I do not want to risk engine damage secondary to a clogged cat. Naturally this led me to the option of going twin turbo; which would not require the added cost of aftermarket headers and would be much quieter than a SC setup.
I have the corsa sport catback on the car now and love the sound, and think they have the best looking exhaust tips on the market (black chrome). I do not wish to change this exhaust, with any FI setup I decide on.
At first, I thought the budget would end up roughly the same (supercharger PLUS headers vs twin turbo system). However, after calling shops for install quotes I can see the TT kit I want (with necessary counterparts) is substantially more expensive. Frustratingly, the cost for a supercharger install is very doable.
Thus, due to price restrictions I have circled back to considering a SC setup. What I’m asking here is if anyone has a solution to run catless headers and a supercharger on a mustang that has a corsa sport catback exhaust, WITHOUT IT BEING A NASCAR LOUD DAILY DRIVER??
Did anyone here choose turbos over supercharger just solely because they didn’t want it obnoxiously loud??
TL;DR:
Want to go FI, however:
1) Don’t want to be obnoxiously loud with catless headers (supercharger)
2) Don’t want to pay 14-17k for install (twin turbo), but I might if there isn’t a solution to #1
What would you do in this scenario? Any input is appreciated, even criticism.
