H-pipe resonator delete - who has done it?

[W.O.T. Stang]

Now that i have your attention.. i was wondering what your opinions are on it?

Coming from a 19GT - ive noticed the dark horse seems louder stock vs stock. The 19 was very muted and the resonator delete woke it up nicely... however the dark horse in stock form seems to be about as loud as the GT with the resonator delete.

my question is.. to those of you that have installed one, do you like it? regret it? too loud? i have one sitting here, but Im not sure if i want to install it or not, because its hard to go back to the resonator once you chop it off. Im just afraid its going to be too loud since it seems like the dark horse mufflers are different than the GTs.

I put an even bigger resonator on to make my car more quiet.
Whispers now.

so my opinion is leave it there or go larger, nobody likes the annoying rasp echo

Wow! That is not how I understood go BIG!
I'm in the process of figuring out when I want to purchase the Borla X-Pipe Switchfire, resonator DELETE.
If I wanted a quiet car, I would have kept my Honda Fit.
To each their own, not judging, just MHO.

I went with a Steeda H Pipe + my Dark Horse Handling Pack mufflers (active exhaust). Plenty loud at cold start!!!! And it sounds great under throttle.

Good to hear. I mean there is always quiet mode if needed. The dark horse just seems so much louder already than my S550 GT active exhaust did stock - so i didnt want it to be insanely loud all the time.

I tried looking at a few videos online, but apart from the steeda one, there really arent many that have dark horses - since im fairly certain we have different mufflers than the S650 GT.

I have the Steeda Hybrid X/H pipe on my DH. There are a lot of times I don't think it's nearly loud enough

Went with the roush H pipe and I turn more heads now. I like the sound also. I had a 14 GT and agree with what you said. Cold start in the morning is nice. I have the race exhaust saved as my favorite button to open it once out of the neighborhood.

I put the Steeda H-pipe on my 19 Bullitt and then transferred it to my 2025 GT. Just save your resonator and it can be put back on if needed. My 2019 Bullitt had better sound than the 2025. Not excessively loud. You have options if you have active exhaust.

Love it. If I had no active exhaust, I would regret it since cold start is too loud even in quiet mode.

I must be missing something or maybe my Mustang is. From the factory my 2026 GT premium convertible with AVE is so loud on track setting (where I keep it) that it is probably illegal. I mean it is sooooo loud it spooks other drivers if I punch it - at any speed. It has the unmistakable deep Mustang note. Why would I want to mess with that and end-up with the raspy/whiney sounds I usually hear from the various "deletes". It has a deep rumble at idle and LOUD deep blast if I punch it. I wouldn't want it any louder. The boss says she can hear me coming a block away - my friends say the same.
