Thanks for the post and glad you really enjoyed the exhaust . It was like music to my ears when I heard that thing fire up in the back for the first time sounded amazing .
Yeah that was pretty close to WOT. No it's not obnoxious at all. If you want to drive normal and more 'low key' you just stay out of the 3.5k and higher RPM. It is obvious that you have an aftermarket performance exhaust, and it is loud on cold starts.
I personally think it's deeper than those at idle, and about the same note / tone when in higher RPM. It does sound very similar though.
Ok, I'm amazed. I liked science in high school and college and was pretty good at it, but to see it do something like this that solves my problem perfectly is simply amazing.

The J-pipes ended up being 27" in length and the pipe was 2.5 inches in diameter. If I had to do it again I would get a 2" diameter pipe, because the 2.5" almost did TOO good of a job.
The drone is 100% gone, there isn't an ounce of drone anywhere in any RPM range (I checked redline on the way home
The only 'negative' per se is because I am cancelling certain sound waves that give the exhaust the really high end scream, it made it quieter. I would say 25% reduction in sound from doing this, which is why I said I would choose a 2" pipe instead of a 2.5" pipe, less sound cancellation.
On the plus side, I don't mind having a little quieter exhaust when just cruising around. Part of the reason I like the 2015 Mustang over my 2011 is because the interior is so refined and quiet. I like having it quiet when I want and not worrying about drone at any level. The tone is unchanged, but the sound inside the cabin is reduced and I think it's a perfect level for what I want.
Pictures to come when it warms up a little.
Yes, it is amazing how the drone disappears! I had to do this on my Raptor, and it was like a light switch. Looking forward to seeing the images on how you did this on the Stang.Ok, I'm amazed.
