Quiet startup - outside of quiet start hours

[Ezatnova]

Yeah unfortunately auxiliary mode then change exhaust mode to quiet then start the car (without turning off auxiliary mode) is your only option outside of setting quiet start 24 hours a day to cover any unexpected times when you need quiet start.

Maybe if enough people complain about it Ford would issue a software update to allow better options in that regard but that’s probably wishful thinking on my part

You would think this would work this is what I’m saying is frustrating is that this actually DOESN'T work.

You can change it to Quiet (or Track) in Aux and then put your foot on the brake and start the car, but it then overrides it and goes to Normal no matter what. Give it a try and you’ll see it diverts back to Normal (and the sound is obvious).

What you’re describing is how it should work, by holding whatever mode is selected in Aux.

Maybe folks should just stop bitching about stupid little shit and go enjoy their cars. Ford gave us an awesome feature with a well thought out means to override it. If it takes a few seconds of your precious little life to use it just shut up and do it.

God, I’m so tired of the “Karen’s” on this forum.

Sorry, rant over.

I’ll ignore that this is the GT500 sub forum and I’m asking a simple question to learn about my GT500, and maybe make an effort to help Ford improve things on their end.

I have worked with BMW and AMG/Mercedes to change engine operation, boosting, transmission operation, and exhaust behavior on multiple vehicles, and at the end of the day they were gracious for actionable feedback to make their products better.

I don’t see how a reply or attitude like this is either helpful to people like me who are new GT500 owners, or to FoMoCo who could use feedback for improvements that help us all, down the line.

Merry Christmas

I took it as in jest. Wouldn’t take to much from it. It’s rural where I live and can’t imagine not hearing the exhaust when I hit the button. One of the absolute best things about these cars. For what it’s worth, my 350 R is a lot raspier at start up. My wife’s St was to quiet and I put a Borla catback on it. When I did it I didn’t tell her. She went to leave at 6am and when she started it she thought something was wrong with the suv. Love’s it now. Most are pretty decent guys on nere even if there a little salty at times.

Merry Xmas to everyone!

The jury’s still out on the Gt and Mach 1 guys though.

I probably should take it in jest as well, but sounded otherwise to me.

Anyway, hope no one gets me wrong. I didn’t buy this car to have something quiet. In fact I have a Lethal H pipe waiting for a springtime install sitting in the garage. I still think there’s a time and place for a quick easy quiet start, is all.

It’s all good. Now if you get down in to the F1 thread, Ira gets real salty.

Dude, the 2015+ Mustang S550 Group on Facebook is a giant toxic cess pool. They’ll trash you just for saying hello.

I also have a ‘21 Tacoma (have had a 1st Gen, 2nd Gen, and now 3rd) and that Facebook group is an absolute $hit show. Some idiots and some a$$holes, and most people are both

It’s just ridiculous that Ford couldn’t make the toggle stitch which toggles the mode (you can hear the flaps) NOT actually stay in the mode when it starts.

…also stupid that the toggle switches only go one way

Yes to both!

OK, OK, OK, I was out of line, my bad. My rant wasn't personal @Ezatnova, although I certainly see why you would think that. I mean you have a freakin' awesome car that many on this forum would die for and you complain about toggles. I get it, it's always the little stuff. But regardless, it's your car and you're right not to like something.

And so you know this is a Mustang Forum. There may be sub forums but all are invited to post on any of them. You are more than welcome to post on the California Special sub forum.

You're a good man Charlie. A very Merry Christmas to you and your!!

 

[Inthehighdesert]

For the record. I hadn’t even noticed the toggling just in one direction until I went for a drive today. Lol. I will say these cars draw a lot of attention. I’m very fortunate to have one. Merry Xmas to you a d yours as well!

Shame on you for excluding the Bullitt and EcoBoost guys … !

Sounds good. Part of what no one would rightfully understand about my mentality with this new car is that I traded in my C63S for this, so fair or unfair, I am comparing life with one vs life with another in my mind. For example, I could control how loud that started, AND flip the thrive toggle mode BOTH directions so you didn’t have to cycle through them all . The little things….

different vehicles in lots of ways, but both forced induction V8 rear drive animals that are probably the two best sounding cars made (mine was before they put the particulate filter in them and ruined the pops and bangs), and also the same sticker price within $5k.

 

[jd_cobra]

That's what I did. I set quiet start from midnight to 11 PM to cover pretty much all the starts since the car echos really bad in my garage with the Borla exhaust. I then back out the garage and flip to my mode (track exhaust, comfort steering, normal suspension) and letter rip.

I did the same. Not much of an inconvenience to hit a toggle switch when I get down the road to put it in “my mode”
