Can I quiet the exhaust

[HerbB]

I really appreciate the suggestions above including reprogramming the wife. She’s been a good sport over our 60 years of marriage so she’s been through lots of my noisy vehicles. The loudest by far (and highly illegal) was a Mazda RX4 with headers. It sounded like an angry wasp and pegged my sound meter. I think my dear wife will get used to it while I explore my options.

I read somewhere that Ford wanted 5 grand just labor to put the parts in. Maybe you could get small really stubby resonators before your main resonator. A guy here has installed a Steeda H-pipe, and the car was still a bit too loud, so he had Vibrant 12" x 4 3" in/out. He says there's no drone. I have the same car and H-pipe, so I'm waiting for him to post a video. I had Cherry Bombs a as mufflers in a whipped 24 GT, and it was real loud. I bet Vibrants would be a good idea for you. I like deep and not raspy sound.

The issue is going to be the cold start as opposed to when it’s warmed up. My wife complained after I removed the resonators for the x pipe our neighbor who is a senator was going to complain. He in fact stopped me the other day to tell me how good it sounded. Crisis overted- without active exhaust, your only option is more resonators I think

I'm new to my 2025 Mustang GT (without switchable exhaust mode) and enjoy it so far, but my wife complains that it shakes the house when I start it. I'm not new to performance cars, but I must say it's a bit loud and I worry that the neighbors will be upset when I start it on Sunday morning to buzz down to Cars and Coffee. Is there an after-market solution or can the optional exhaust system with sound modes be fitted. I'm afraid to ask what the cost might be.

from what I have heard in person, twin turbos quite down the exhaust a bunch

How about a Saleen GTX? Quiet as a Church Mouse. If you like the F-16 sound of Turbo cars you love this one. Engineered for sound by Saleen, chirps wheel in nearly every year. Screams like an F-16, and looks so good you may take a bite out of it confusing it for a candy apple. Fastest car in the road. I hear it'll do 0-60 in the 3s.
