Racer's Lounge - How does a 200 HP Mustang sound so incredible?

Not sure if this is an incredible camera, but I could only dream my LS1 would sound this good...



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FntrLX86CHI


Is it firing order? Lack of a dual exhaust? (all the duals I have heard for LS1s, just don't sound this good) What gives??

It's the firing order, the head design, and some other stuff. Say what you will about Mustangs but they have one of the greatest exhaust tones, stock or not. Not sure about other generations but my 2V has a true dual exhaust.

Bark of a muscle car, bite of a poodle...

I really don't think it sounds that good lol.

Flowmasters just don't do it for me.

But yes, a good (in this case, decent) quality camera does go a long way.
Also, having a sub at your computer with real speakers and not listening through a laptop helps =)

mustangs have the most distinctive exhaust tones. would i love for my t/a to sound like one. yes, would i want the lack of performance just for it. no... but yes it all has to do with the firing order, heads and even the way the exhaust is run/muffler has something to do with it

If you like the Flowmaster sound, it's hard to argue with true duals and single chambers on a cammed LS1.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXHVLOIdcfU

Personally I think Flowmasters sound like poo on 4.6 Mustangs, they sound MUCH better with Borla Stingers or Bassani.

4v sound sweet. But I love the way LS cars sound. Have you not heard a c6 zo6 vette rip it down the track?

No one's denying that other platforms sound great, but if you were to close someone's eyes and roll a V8 Mustang by them, they would immediately know what it is-their tone is that unique and distinctive...

I have always thought the mustang wins in the sound department as far as muscle/pony cars go. It is soooo easy to make them sound like pure sex.

One of my favorite LSx exhaust set-ups has to be Tony Mamo's silver C5.

Single chamber Flows sound like sex on anything.

Hey knuckle heads.. They have the same firing order.

Why do thy sound so different? Hpipe.

I personally dont like it.. It gets old that every single one sounds identical.
Iirc all mustangs v8 came with dials and an hpipe.

Buddy had bassani on his 03, now that sounded good. Loud as shit but good.

What is his setup on the c5?
Vettes seem to scream a bit more than fbodys for some reason.


Fbody with an xpipe and 1 chambers...:drool:

^^ If i remember correctly LG longtubes, X-pipe and titanium Z06 mufflers with the vacuum valve in a switch.

http://www.airflowresearch.com/articles/article078/A-P1.htm

The mufflers were originally magnaflow as stated in the article, but later he experimented with the Z06 set-up. Also of note, it is a 383 with a solid roller cam.

Sounds awesome.

Sorry man, but the sound of most mustangs just reminds me of metal trashcans rolling down a steep road. I personally think 2v's sound like complete and total ass regardless of their exhaust setup. A 4v with an off-road Bassani x-pipe and a set of Borla stingers sounds awesome though.

They have an "empty/hollow" sound.

I like the sound of most mustangs, but that wasn't anything special. lol. Nothing beats the sound of a KB cobra scream.

I really like the mustang sound. I think because of how much tone they have.

I really don't think it sounds that good lol.

Flowmasters just don't do it for me.

I am with happysem. That clip did not do it for me at all. Nor do bro-masters.

Mustangs do have a great sound. My buddy just bought a 2004 GT with a Bassani cat-back and it sounds incredible. Granted he complains about how slow it is, but you still can't beat the way it sounds.

Heard a 3.8 Mustang the other week that sounded pretty good as much as I hate to admit it... Too bad it came with a vagina. lmao

Every mustang exhaust I hear sounds really hollow and irritating. I don't think it sounds good?

I tend to like the thick gurgle that comes from the dodge hemi motors. A lot of the dodge guys here have loud pipes on their rams, best sounding stock motor I've heard.

every time I hear a mustang like this I just roll my eyes. they sound like they're working SO HARD to keep up with bumper to bumper traffic.

A lot has to do with the chambered muffler and the location.

Having the muffler before the axle with several feet of piping afterwards sounds much deeper than after the axle.

Look at the new stangs, they don't sound nearly as good as the 04 and earlier ones.

Haha I think my V6 leaves off the line faster than that GT did without making nearly as much noise.

Cylinder head design and firing order are one of the biggest things that modify the way an engine sounds along with the crank angle (coincides with firing order).

Heck, I'm looking forward to hearing that flat plane LSx motor in the car that they were working on.

Oh wait, just found a vid:

Hey knuckle heads.. They have the same firing order.

Why do thy sound so different? Hpipe.


hey knuckle head, the mustang (4.6) firing order is 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 and the ls1 is 1-8-7-2-6-5-4-3. theres a slight difference

and you can run an h-pipe with an fbody but its still not going to sound the same

Please re number the cylinders and report back. While you're at it compare the LS1 firing order to the 351/302HO firing order.

Not sure if this is an incredible camera, but I could only dream my LS1 would sound this good...

i think the 4v terminators sound WAY better than that with borlas. the new 5.0's i have to say are near the top of the list for me as well. i hate flowmaster...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iyqotXrwrE&feature=related

that 5.0 sounds like a raped ape for sure

hey knuckle head, the mustang (4.6) firing order is 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 and the ls1 is 1-8-7-2-6-5-4-3. theres a slight difference

Ford and GM number their cylinders differently. But we can't expect people like you to know that, can we?

and you can run an h-pipe with an fbody but its still not going to sound the same

You're right, they sound better.

Im a die hard GM guy, all I have ever owned. But I will admit that the "Old" 5.0 in the fox bodies is one of the best sounding motors ever. The bad thing about the fox bodies is you really can't tell by the sound if its a stock car with flowmaster or something thats running in the single digts, the all sound mean.

Most of the time they are slow, but I ran into one a few years back that handed me my ass, my cammed nitroused LS1 did not have a chance.

But you can't win em' all I guess

Yea like mentioned most of them all come with true dual exhausts... But once you throw on a true dual exhaust dumped with Dynomax bullets there's no comparison!

Mustangs do sounds nice when your just driving normal maybe getting on it a lil. I think nothing sounds better than a ls engine screaming to the redline though.

Hey knuckle heads.. They have the same firing order.


Never said that the firing order was different, I was just telling the 'OP that head design and firing orders are some of the things that affect exhaust tone....:chug:

I agree that Mustang's do sound very unique. All the time when I'm outside with my brother, we'll hear various cars rip down one of the near streets. We'll look at each other and go.. "Mustang!" It's that easy to tell.

HOWEVER! I would NOT say that they sound better than an LS1. I've had three different exhaust setups, and I would take any of the three over a mustang sound. Mustang's sound too empty/poppy for me. Plus, when a Mach 1 owner comes over to me and says, "I thought my car sounded good, but what the HELL do you have in there?" makes me feel proud to own one. :thumb:

My absolute favorite exhaust on a mustang, are Magnapacks.

sure, the mustang exhaust sounds good, if your a boating enthusiast...

Sorry, but that sounds like every rusted out truck with a cheap dual setup running out the back. Sounds too "slappy"...hard to explain, but it makes me think of when you're trying to let out a fart slowly and it gets stuck between your butt cheeks so you have to give that extra little push for it to pop.

no LT1 love?:D

http://youtu.be/sbSsnNI_cLQ

I swear I thought I was the only one who thought this. Even though Mustangs are lame, I've always thought they sound better in exhaust set ups then LSX cars.

That LS1 with a single chamber and an X pipe sounds awesome...for an LS. That slow ass Mustang sounds just so much better. Just incredible.


Yes I have heard a Z06 at the track and slowstangs sounded better...

Slowstangs FTW in sound quality.

No mod motor could ever dream of sounding like a big nasty cammed LS!

Cammed is something different; we're talking about full exhaust.

Lots of jelly in this thread.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBy9LJeG_Gg

I will post a clip of my Trans Am in a bit with a 3" O/R H and 1 chambers..

:drool:

I welcome ANY ls motor...it will not sound as good as a slow ass 4.6 with x pipe and some chambered muffs...it just doensn't

Chevbon, love the GTO, but it sound like my setup super loud and raspy.

Dying to hear the OR/H and singles...

I think that LT1s sound better than both.

I do not think OP sounds that great...

OR/H and singles are best on here so far, for an LS1. But seriously guys, the LT1s sound better and neither sound as good as the 4.6 I posted at first.

Let me reiterate, I am not a 4.6 fan boy, they just sound amazing.

Someone mentioned firing order, what is their firing order and what is ours?

I think that LT1s sound better than both.
LT1s sound like complete garbage!!!!

It has the Borla "Quiet" cat back.

^^ Sounds a little better than the LS and LT motors, but that guy with chambered muffs on his 4.6 was incredible.

i do not like mustangs but ive got to say they sound better than the ls1 i will give them that

^^ Sounds a little better than the LS and LT motors, but that guy with chambered muffs on his 4.6 was incredible.


Chambered mufflers sound great; but it's like smoke and mirrors.

Wanna know what sounds even better? A flat plane crank V12 screaming at 9000rpm. Preferably a lamborghini

If you like the Flowmaster sound, it's hard to argue with true duals and single chambers on a cammed LS1.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXHVLOIdcfU

Personally I think Flowmasters sound like poo on 4.6 Mustangs, they sound MUCH better with Borla Stingers or Bassani.

The Mustang vid does sound better. Sorry, but it really does.

I wonder how mines will sound when I get LTs and ORY, I'm keeping the dual/dual's so I know I'll have a real nice mellow aggressive tone, won't be all raspy.

Lot's of fanboy's in this thread, 2V GT's do sound sick. You have to give credit where it's due. I love the deep, old school tone they have. Dude on my campus has a lowered 5 speed New Edge GT, his car sounds sick as fuck going over the speedbumps in the afternoon when everyone is leaving. Drowns my cars exhaust out bigtime.

This is probably one of the best sounding LS1s I've ever heard.

whytryz28, is this your car? Revs sound amazing.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_1gW9dtAdY

no LT1 love?:D



LT1 love here. I think the stock LT1 snarling exhaust sounds pretty darn good, too. You guys remember that commercial from '96 where the kids try to identify the car by the sound of the exhaust? I'm sure the car was slightly altered but that's pretty close to what it sounds in real life:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZwONYWUu0Y

I'm still not convinced that those puny engines sound good at all. The 4v's sure, I dont think those could ever sound bad, but I still think a raspy straight pipe pushrod OHV V8 just sounds a hell of a lot better than a dohc setup. They just sound mellow, and hollow. Like there is something missing.

TSP Duals and dynomax bullets is always a great choice... :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfJ_dNQe4G0

No one likes the sound of my cammed T/A with an O/R H and 1 Chambers :(

I agree i hear normal mustangs with just exhaust and i am always thinking how nasty they sound.... of course i feel like 90% of them i wouldn't have.

But on the other hand, anytime i hear a nasty Vette or F-body (rare as hell around here, only hear 3) I think to my self "thats what a car should sound like". I don't know when i hear a Mustang i think "that car sounds bad" when i hear a nice LS1 car i think "that car IS bad"

I know we are talking full exhaust only but my true dual bullet set up sounds great to me and I would take it over any ORY set-up i've heard.

Mustangs do sound better most of the time, but a ls1 with true duals and decent mufflers sounds just as good IMO.

Y pipes sound like dog shit on everything. There is no such thing as a nice sounding y pipe when comparing to duals.

yeah head desighn will play a difference also with the D port on the ls6 heads vs the O port on the ls1 heads seems to help with that sound.

We just don't have that low, deep, hollow, burble they have...especially hearing the 4.6 in person. My dad had a 4.6 with Kooks LTs and a bullet muffler on it, just sounded so much deeper and more hollow than my LS.

Is that because of the H-pipe or the muffler having more pipe before the tips like someone else mentioned?

I like how my car sounds...

2V's with the right exhaust give me a hard on. I LOVE Camaro's but I'll admit it Mustangs sound like sex. You get a good look at them though when there on it.. My buddy who just rolled and flipped his Mustang yesterday :/ had one of the best sounding set ups ever on a 2V.

Firing Order, Head Design, and making up for an utter lack of power.

For the second or third time in this thread... the firing order is the same.

does it really only have 200hp or was the OP exaggerating


cuz that's sad

If it just has an X pipe and a cat back, probably around 280hp at the crank.

So a V6 Camry could take it?


gay

Lol, where've you been, man. That's been going on since the 90's...

My `02 Z28 w/ longtubes and my hand made duals w/ x pipe and dynomax bullets dumped(shown in my avatar) sounded WAY better than any vids in this thread. My car had a deep rumble at idle and sounded downright evil at WOT w/ stock internals. I wish I had a sound clip to prove it. Everyone thought I was a liar when I told them I had a stock cam b/c it sounded very "lopey" like a cammed big block.

I've always liked this ls1

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFP5AxL83hw&list=FLLH8Cs4UhcWnvN6EXia5fOg&index=123&feature=plpp_video

They have an "empty/hollow" sound.

This is always how I describe the Mustang sound.

the 4.6 na mustangs do nothing for me, they are kinda like flowmasters on a stock 350 in a z71. The 03-04 cobras sound great though. I honestly think the ls engines sound better than the mod motors.

To some it's a matter of sound and to others it's a matter of their favorite car.



I guess to each his/her own.

give me the sound of an lsx vette any day over any mod motor.

Personally I don't think stock-cam LS1s sound very good, even with true duals. Whereas pretty much every V8 Mustang made in the past 25-30 years sounds great from the factory. Once you go aftermarket, it's all in the setup. But I still think Mustangs sound better in general.

:funny: Man, you must seriously be an LS hater to say that. I'm assuming that was a typo though.

Fuck yeah it was a typo :lol:. Lemme fix that.

I saw a new 5.0 Mustang over the weekend and it had some type of aftermarket exhaust on it. The thing sounded mean as it drove by!

that 5.0 sounds like a raped ape for sure

Psh, this is the best sound 5.0 I've heard so far:

wait, correct that. A big block chevy with a fat ol blower on top staging at the christmas tree, with that infamous surge due to a big cam and zoomies...:burn:

I think Mustangs have true duals more often than any other car, since they're the most common "performance" car out there. I heard a Fox Body at my school the other day that was the single greatest thing I've ever heard in person. I think it was turbo'ed, too, because I heard it spooling up from a longggg ways away. I need to find that guy and see what set up he's running.

Also, Bassani sounds great on Mustangs. Magnaflow's tone sounds best I think overall (especially cammed), and then Borla for the non-cammed.

LOL You guys are the best! Rock on! :rock:

I heard a Fox Body at my school the other day that was the single greatest thing I've ever heard in person. I think it was turbo'ed, too, because I heard it spooling up from a longggg ways away. I need to find that guy and see what set up he's running.

Also, Bassani sounds great on Mustangs. Magnaflow's tone sounds best I think overall (especially cammed), and then Borla for the non-cammed.

I think its because they come with true duals from the factory, could be wrong though... But i doubt it.

Bassani is stupid loud.

There still has not been a car posted on here that sounds better than the original one I posted.

I don't know why Redbirds brought it back...

Muskrats sound okay I wouldn't go as far to say they sound better than an lt1 or an ls1 but everybody is entitled to there own opinion

I'm not a big fan of flowmasters they remind me of the sound of glasspacks I prefer borla corsa and magnaflow I like a deep troaty gurggle not a lot of rasp and noise

To me the best sounding car is a cammed Fox Body with a H-pipe and a set of two chamber Flowmasters.


As much as I love the way it sounds; I wouldn't be able to drive a Fox Body with Flowmasters...the drone inside the car gives me headaches :(

to me 90% of internet videos sound like shit. its usually when a car gets 1000' from the camera is starts sounding almost normal but you cant here it cause its 1000' FROM THE CAMERA

No one likes the sound of my cammed T/A with an O/R H and 1 Chambers :(


Seriously? The thread is about Mustang exhaust...

I love how all the sterotypical LS1 owners come out of the woodwork with youtube vids of their "BEST SOUNDING SET UP" like ^^^ this guy. Your like crazy parents at a talent show. The kid onstage wins 1st place and here you come from the back of the room pulling your kid on stage and demanding everyone to know that your kid is better than the kid who won the prize. Lol.

That thing sounds sooooooo good. Is it even possible to replicate a mustang set up underneath our cars to come close to sounding like that?

Again it is ALL opinion. I would take an Lsx/LT/TD/x pipe setup any day over the Mustang sound. Does it sound good? Absolutely! Do I like it more than I like the Lsx sound? No way.

Opinion. Not fact.

Worse than an ORY and a dumped dynomax bullet?

I have always thought the mustang wins in the sound department as far as muscle/pony cars go. It is soooo easy to make them sound like pure sex.

One of my favorite LSx exhaust set-ups has to be Tony Mamo's silver C5.

OMG holy shit, this sounds better then my GF Orgasm!

Modulars sound too hollow and empty. They just don't sound complete. They don't sound bad, but I wouldn't say they necessarily sound great.
