One thing that made me really enjoy the eb more was Cpe hks bov. I don’t have the v8 rumble but I got a nice sound and I have that pshhh on each and every shift

as quiet or as loud as I want
Can still get the "pshhh" with the coyote it just cost quite a bit more on top of the car cost.;)

If you were really happy with the EB, I don't see any reason not to get another one. But test drive the EB and the GT and see which one you like better.

I’ve got a woooosh in mine from the V8 swallowing in air.

You should consider test driving a GT and then maybe cross shopping before making a decision. It’s probably the best way to look at things. I guarantee with a test drive you’ll fall in love with the GT just the exhaust note is enough to justify getting the GT. While you have the chance though go ahead and look around if you want, there’s plenty of great options out. For example if you don’t need the handling of the mustang you could look at a challenger RT it’s a nice medium between the EcoBoost and GT plus it looks roomy inside. Try to have a few cars to compare that way when you call your insurance company for rates you can make the right choice.

The GT comes with the expensive Mod Bug.

Based on what it sounds like, I think you'd be happy with the EB instead. The GT is nice, but you're not going to use 100% of it's potential while you are out on the town.

Unless you race at the track or have to have the V8 soundtrack, EB is the way to go.

Yep I made the mistake of test driving a GT with an exhaust on it.

Drove away with that car the next day lol.

Did the same exact thing. I drove the v6 and really liked it and it didn’t sound to bad. Hated the sound of the ecoboost but when I drove the GT it was all over. I made up my mind right there . I was getting the GT or nothing. Just needed to find a way to get $10k more.

See, I prefer to add a little money cosmetics and some sound system, over a loudexhaust, but Not saying I wouldn’t love it

I just have a nice sounding system and I prefer that driving

Factory car audio has come a long way IMO. Shaker system is pretty good for a factory system.

I guess I don't see the point of high fidelity in something as sound compromised as a car...
I agree I prefer my motors soundtrack anyway. You have wind noise,road noise,outside noise all these other factors that "intrude" on the audio in your car. If you have to turn your music up loud enough or have enough bass to drown it out then maybe you should turn it down and pay more attention to the road.

The stock system is actually quite good once you disable the factory EQ! I tossed in rear speakers, and replaced the bottom door speakers, and added JL stealth box. Very happy!.

Sounds really good. I have never had a loud car I guess, so ive always enjoyed a really clean and good sounding music system. I do a LOT of driving though. like 30k-40k a year average.

Years ago when I worked in the electronics industry I had some pretty decent hi-end car systems. I have the B&O now and find it decent when i actually use it. Most of the time I'm just listening to my Coyote growl.
