So I want to mod my exhaust. I am older and want more rumble but not a lot. I guess I want the most conservative upgrade to sound. So questions

Is Ford touring catback the best choice for my need?

Will a cat back system require any other tune or mod?

Thanks

ford touring is alittle raspy from what i keep hearing.

and no tune will be required unless you add long tube headers

hope this helps some

If you just want a little rumble, I'd stick with the stock resonator and only buy an axleback system.

Alternatively, doing just a resonator delete (either with an X or H pipe) will be cheap and also get you a conservative sound upgrade.

The touring catback will definitely be louder, but more conservative. Also, check out the Borla S-Type.

If you want the exhaust even quieter, go with what aschaefer said. Keep the stock resonator and add an axle back system, OR just an X/H pipe. If I'm not mistake, an H Pipe will yield more of a deep muscle car tone.

A tune is NOT needed for just a catback, axleback, or resonator delete.

You WILL need a tune if you add headers down the road.

I'm thoroughly enjoying my Magnaflow Sport Catback. To me it's the perfect blend of throatiness while remaining civil.

I haven't seen a sport catback, what number does that have?

RIBS, I feel like a Magnaflow spokesman, for deep tone, you just can't beat it. Look at the Magnaflow street option in either axle back or catback. From what I have read, sounds like what you are looking for. Low rumble, just a bit more sound than stock. Check out the videos and read the customer feedback on the aftermarket sites. I found the feedback to be the best info.

H pipe plus Magnaflow Streets, you get a nice rumble and it isn't overly loud...unless you go catless.

I picked up and installed a magnaflow comp axleback today from UPR since they're 10 minutes away. Perfect balance, deeper and a little louder but not raspy or obnoxious

First, decide when you DO hear wide open throttle (WOT) do you like to hear deep rumble (H-Pipe) or rasp (X-Pipe). I like rasp so I went with the Ford Racing by Borla Touring. It is loud as a loud pick up truck on a cold start but calms down in 10-15 seconds (thinking of your neighbors). It is louder but controllable unless you're at WOT. You could also look at the Borla S type and then add their resonator later if too loud for another $200+. That's kind of a long expensive route. You could buy just the X-Pipe from AM or CJ's for $200+ plus the cost of cutting and welding. That's probably your cheapest route. I spent over $1300 for mine, and I love it, but if I had to do it on the cheap, I'd do that. I think it is the resonator that limits the noise and power the most. The rest is just tweaks on sound and further breathing.

My MBRP street catback. Good price, good sound. Less weight.

You're hired! ;)

We dont have a street axle-back quite yet, but we would agree, the street catback is a great system that is both conservative and deep at the same time. Very easy to control the volume with your right foot! Here's a quick comparison of the stock exhaust vs our street system:
