My 2019 GT w/Active exhaust and resonator delete/H pipe is the same. Perfect sounding exhaust.

Which H pipe did you put in. Also any sound clips on how it sounds with different exhaust modes. Will ford deny my warranty on the engine or active exhaust?

Thanks

I can’t imagine that these so called “tunes” are good for the engine internally when used long term....

Might as well bring back the spark plugs screwed into end of tailpipes, hooked to ignition and dumping of raw fuel to create the flamethrowers....

Exactly it. These types of "tunes" rely on severe timing retard. Too much retard can be bad for your engine as well as too much advance.

Burble? More like crackle. I had to look this is up as my mustang does actually burble like a V8 should on the factory tune. It’s definitely not this crackle, it’s a low V8 burble as you down shift.

I can’t believe ricers are really calling this a burble tune. They should be ashamed of themselves.

My car does occasionally have what sounds like a backfire between shifts. Mostly when running it hard. Does anybody else have this? It did it with the Roush tune and with the current VMP tune.

There’s actually a “burble mode” option built into the Ford strategy in the pcm. It’s not turned on stock and you don’t have to turn it on to get some level of burble. But the point is, Ford calls it that too.

I went with the Steeda H pipe and it sounds fantastic. I don't personally have any sound clips but there are several online comparing the different modes with and without the h pipe, but web clips don't really do exhaust sounds justice in my opinion.





If you find yourself up around Central FL (Orlando/Daytona Beach area), let me know, you can listen in person.

Scott, apart from the improvement in the quality of the sound, did the loudness also increase to a notable extent?
I'm tempted to give the Steeda H-pipe a try, but I'm afraid it might make the exhaust too loud. I'd like a deeper tone, but not necessarily a louder one.

It did. If you watch the second video I linked, they actually compare the decibel increase from mode to mode for both before and after the resonator delete/h pipe install. I think it was ~5db increase per mode on the active exhaust.

Prior to making the change, I only drove in Quiet (in my neighborhood before 8 AM) or Track. Now, with track being a good bit louder, I tend to swap between normal, sport and track regularly, so I'm getting more use out of the active exhaust modes.

Indeed, I noticed the 5dB increase in the second video, but I'm not sure what that means in practice, i.e. how a 5dB increase actually feels.
I don't mind if Normal or Sport become a bit louder, but I'd like Quiet to still remain quiet enough not to disturb my neighbours in the early morning or late evening. Is the new Quiet comparable to the old Normal?

 

[Echo4papa]

New quite seems quieter than the old normal to me and definitely neighborhood friendly.

Thanks. That's great then.
