2018 GT350 Lead Foot, 2021 Diesel Tremor CG
I picked up a lightly used (1400 miles) 2018 LeadFoot GT350 with Black Stripes and Convenience package last weekend. The car looks and smells new, but I got it for considerably less than the prices I saw on 2019s GT350s with ADM, etc.

I started out looking at 2019 Bullitt's, but after driving a used GT350 for the first time, I was sold. :sunglasses: The Coyote with active exhaust sounds pretty good, but the VooDoo sounds so MUCH better! I plan to keep the car stock except for minor upgrades, like Ceramic tint, black lug nuts, hood struts and possibly, the Corsa Double Helix resonator delete package.

My first impression are as follows:
1. Very smooth and controlled in Normal mode on the street and highway.
2. Not as loud as I expected in Sport mode. (coming from a 8.0L Viper with full Borla and high-flow cats)
3. The car attracts a lot of crazies as you drive it around town. (from pick-ups to economy cars...)

The gray "Shelby" letter on the front were the only modification the previous owner made to the car. I am debating whether or not I leave them on.

It is a great addition to my garage and I am glad I chose it over the Bullitt!

Congrats on the pickup!

I know i'm in the minority, but Corsa just sounds like total shit to me on every application. I can't wrap my head around how they got to be so popular.
I had Corsa's on my 11 GT500 with AR headers and they sounded great :) I guess it's how you pair them up.

On my GT350 I am running Kooks all the way to the OEM.

I had the extremes on my 07 GT, loved the look and the no drone technology, otherwise thought it made the car sound like a truck. the GT350 I have zero interest in changing the exhaust

Twin cars, for sure! The amount of color change with different lighting and the lead foot color is awesome! My pictures make the paint look a lot darker than yours...

The Raptor is Magnetic Gray vs Lead Foot because I wanted the Raptor trim pieces to match the color of the truck for more of the mono-chrome look.

I have listened to several of the x-pipe resonator delete options and the Corsa is the one that seems to keep the sound of VooDoo without as much rasp as a straight-pipe. I will not change the mufflers or the active exhaust, so it is just a matter of replacing the resonators with something to make it louder. The car is lot quieter than I was expecting based on all the posts about waking neighbors in the morning, etc.

I will keep the factory resonators for a couple of weeks to make sure I am good with the sound before tossing them.

I had my son drive my car off thru the neighborhood and I was stunned with how loud it is stock. The car has very good sound insulation which makes it seem quiet but trust me, it is very loud on the outside, right on the legal limits and probably above in California where every thing is f'd up anyway.

Is that an "R" emblem on the front? I was thinking of a non-silver emblem on the front and sides, but I was looking for something other than red.

Added the Redline Hood Struts last night. I got the black ones and I promptly removed the stickers. They make the hood so much easier to open!

Do most people leave the factory prop rod in place?
