How to Make a 2017 Sound More Like a 2019

[BB125]

I have a 2017 GT with stock exhaust. I would like a little more rumble and volume but can't tell much about real-world tone and volume from videos. Recently I drove a rental 2019 GT and liked what I heard. I think that is "about right" in my estimation; I'm not looking for melt-your-face-off sound and also hoping to not spend more money than I need to.

Would the swap-out of the briefcase for an H-pipe be about what I'm looking-for?

Alternatively, is there an axleback that would get a 2017 somewhat like a 2019?

Yet another idea: with tons of people swapping-out their factory exhaust for after-market, I might be able to find a every-so-slightly-used 2019 OEM cat-back for a fair price. Could that work?

Let me know what you think.

I'll make it simple for you:

AWE Touring Cat Back, delicious low tone and rumble, perfect fit and a work of art!

You can get 2019 stock exhausts for dirt cheap. When I get my catback im planning scrapping the thing. It's not worth sitting on.
I think an H pipe can get you where trying to be. It might be a tad deeper and louder than stock.

I wonder: does a 2018-2020 exhaust fit a 2015-2017 (other than needing a wider rear diffuser?)

Am I the only one who think Coyotes usually sound like crap? My previous 9 Mustangs sounded beautiful. I’ve only heard 2-3 Coyotes that sounded “decent”. Is it the firing order or what?

You're allowed to be wrong.

I'd recommend the FP by Borla touring axleback.

I think you would need a diffuser, from what ive seen the under body of these cars are identical. Personally with a diffuser+stock exhaust. Just do an h pipe or better for that cost you can basically overhaul the entire catback

Wow, I do like how that sounds (at least on video.) I wish I could hear each in-person.

I’m waiting for the RTR street spec to get back in stock...

While it’s hard to beat the deep “feel it rumble you internally” sound of the 4.6L New Edge Mustangs when properly equipped with a 2.5” catback aftermarket exhaust... My 2019 GT with active exhaust, when in track mode, has one of the best sounding exhausts I’ve ever heard, beaten only by the GT350.

I replaced the resonater on my 2017 with an X-pipe. Its a bit louder than stock, but is easy to live with and is relatively inexpensive.

But sounds like this . Such tinny rasp with any significant throttle. It's all because of the oem mufflers.

The rasp in that video is pretty bad. Would an H-Pipe resonator delete be better?

Minimally. There's not much to do with the stock mufflers that improves it. They're chambered and the specific design makes them sound very tinny. After doing this myself (that's my video) and many other combinations, I'd strongly recommend doing the axleback. Tone quality will be much better. If you want more volume you can always do a resonator delete.
