What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[Virnman]

Why did Ford put that in there? There has to be a good reason. Not being a wise ass. What's the downside of taking it out?

it’s a resonator. No downside to removing it. Car is lighter, breathes better & now has a slightly raspier tone.

It's a work of art! Thank you for sharing & choosing Steeda - Steeda FTW!

Thanks for the discount

I believe you.
Well at least the Mustang rear seat is too small for any of his friends to want to ride back there.

that's what 2 petite cheerleaders are for.

Haha that would definitely never cause bad decisions to be made…

Completely disagree.

The resonator is actually an anti resonator that mitigates drone. Take it out and you will surely hear the drone at around 1500rpm.

For more loudness you are better served trying different axleback products.

very much correct, but who drives at 1500rpm? There should be a high-voltage shock delivered for not passing quickly thru 1500 +/- 100 RPM

But the Steeda H-pipe greatly improves the timber and tone of the exhaust sound, so any brief resonance at ~1500 is quickly banished from memory.

Why did they install a resonator?

Well there is no drone but I respect your opinion. It honestly does not sound or seem any different than stock at normal cruising. When you jump on it however you get a nastier + raspier tone which is what I wanted. To each their own.

Are you sure you're from Happy Valley?

Are you saying you weren't allowed to drive a tractor at the age of 10 lol.

First car for him ? What's their YouTube channel ? I want to be notified when it happens.

I grew up in the city.

i said “I respect your opinion” are you a Soprano Tony? Jesus

Removed a 60lb brick from underneath the car….Steeda Xpipe in

Did you notice any sag with the clamps?

Good point.

I drive in the city in Normal mode a lot. A10 trans. There is a lot of low rpm driving for mpg. And a lot in the 1500 to 2000 range. Once you notice the drone you can't stop noticing it.

I put in an X pipe in my last car, and liked the sound, but then switched to a Borla resonator to kill the drone.

To each their own of course. I just didn't want to let the claim go that a resonator is unnecessary. has no useful purpose.

i didn’t use the rear clamps. I had my local muffler shop weld it in. No sagging re-using the front clamps. It fit perfectly. I believe he cut the rear about 5” back from the resonator
