Guys, if you have intentions of ditching the factory dual mode for a full ARH system, there's no need to worry about the Sport or Track mode not working. We now offer a plug in adapter that keeps everything operable while enjoying the deep, throaty growl of our Pure Thunder system.

The system was designed to dramatically decrease the high pitch rasp these engines naturally emit and the factory mufflers help amplify. At idle, cruise or wide open throttle the sound is deeper yet the signature FPC sound is there. Though it's not a dual mode, the sound at cruise rpm is enjoyable and nearly drone free. Go wide open and nothing sounds better we assure you.

Sound clips to come but if you're heading to the All Ford Nationals at Carlisle this weekend please stop by our booth. We'll have a GT350 there with our complete system installed. Thanks.

Not trying to beat up another exhaust company, but I am so in love with my factory sound that I couldn't imagine changing it.
IMO: R sounds perfect. Non-Rs are a $100 resonator delete away from getting the same sound. ARH definitely has their work cut out for them. In sound, and in value per $.

Yep, I like the growl,burble, rasp, and high pitched tone just as it is. If anything I would want it higher pitched, not lower :cheers:

I think the factory sound is awful, and Im not alone. Im excited to see all these aftermarket companies fixing that problem!

I dont envy you and others who hate the sound. Now you have to spend hundreds if not thousands to change the sound.

Why would anyone want it lower, the sound even with resonators is near perfection.

Let's all go put flowmasters on and recreate the 90s.

I never comment on other peoples opinion but I gladly give mine. I have American Racing Headers full system on my 350. Love it in every way. Especially getting rid of the dual exhaust modes. I never got in the car without first switching exhaust modes. No more. Plus the extra 50 rwtq and 45 rwhp doesn't bother me either.

To me, a lower sound would be more akin to a traditional American V-8 rumble. A higher sound would be closer to an Italian exotic.

I think the Car and Driver review captured it best, when describing the sound of this very non-traditional American engine: It doesn't sound like a Ferrari or a Mustang. It sounds like a Mustang and a Ferrari in a chase.

I'm more interested in this supposed dongle that keeps the exhaust actuator valves always open while tricking the computer. Would like to see pics/specs/info on that.

Hey hey now, I don't want to change my factory exhaust either but let's not make nonsense comparisons. These companies need to really think their product though on a car like this.
