Non-active to Active Exhaust Recommendations?

[mpelon]

Have a 2021 GT without active exhaust and wanted to add an active exhaust system, wondering if anyone had any good recommendations or personal experiences.

The XForce makes a nice setup.

They’re all going to be very expensive. Roush also offers one for a little less, but not much.

Yeah I figured but adding any exhaust is going to be. One of those, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it, scenarios. My exhaust is a year and a half old and in great shape. Have a little regret though cuz I ordered a GT with active exhaust but it kept getting delays so I went out and found a brand new one on a dealer lot. Nicer car overall than I ordered (California Special) BUT no active exhaust. I don’t regret buying it just wish it had the active exhaust. My neighbors hate me when I go to work at 4:45 am.

I‘m not being funny here, but I‘ve watched videos of people using pool noodles in their exhaust pipes to muffle the sound in situations like yours. It’s cheap to do and you remove them once you’re out of the neighborhood.

Are you running LTHs and an x or h pipe with axle back exhaust to make it too loud for early morning drives?

Another option is to check the classifieds on here and on google to see if anyone is selling take off active exhausts. I took mine off at about the 5K mile mark. One member had inquired about them and I was willing to give them away for free, but I think he realized shipping would have cost a great deal because of size and weight. They didn’t have the actuators with them because I relocated them to a bracket and kept them plugged up to avoid the light on the dash.

I say all of that to let you know that if you do locate some without the actuators, you will obviously have to purchase those separately, but a quick search indicates they would cost around $330 apiece. I’m not even sure what else you would need to complete the install as far as switches etc. go.
