Howdy Mustangers!
Picked up a stock 2016 gt convertible about six weeks ago since then I’ve added an Airaid cold air intake, oem lower front grille, dash mat (glare is shocking!), SR performance X pipe and deleted the resonator....now I’ve just put on the Roush gt axle back (with black tips) BUT it’s just too loud!!! Ive got a cradle lock out kit coming too
Back to the pipes It sounds absolutely awesome and honestly it would wake the dead. Put it in a dB meter cold start 95db warm idle 84db (that’s fine) 4800 rpm the whole neighbourhood hears it
It’s so loud I had two young men in a modified RX7 (you get the picture) they didn’t want to play because my car was much louder!!!
Here’s the problem though ...it’s noticeably more powerful!!
The x pipe was $200 vs $800 for the axle back so first is to put the resonator back on see if that quietens it down enough to not be cop bait but still sound the business.
Do I Put the resonator back on just to quieten it down or do I just drive like miss daisy around the neighbourhood?? Any thoughts comments appreciated any else finding similar problem??
