I just got home from a long day driving my 5.0. What a great day! Due to my errands, trips and stops, I had the pleasure of driving with the Ford Racing Axleback through the NY Midtown tunnel, the short tunnel connecting the FDR and West Side hwy, and the Lincoln tunnel.
The car just howls in the most monstrous way. Its not obnoxious, but there no more doubt in anyone's mind that this 5.0 means business. The sound is so raw, yet very refined.
Idle: the car sounds fantasic when you turn on the ignition. an initial bark that mellows to a lions pur.
Around town: just awesome. its going to turn heads as you pass by. I literally heard from people walking across the street "Wow" "woah" "Damn!" "that sounds sick" "mommy I want that car when i get my license"
I have owned many after market exhaust ranging from header back, custom designed with Maganflow piping, GHL, Corsa, etc etc. All were very expensive. Some sounded great, some sucked.
By far, this simple axle-back from Ford Racing, made by Borla to Ford Racing specs, has given me the best sounding car I have ever owned, and rivals almost any street going car, I have ever heard.
To me it is that good! I will try to record idle and revs with my iphone on Sunday, but it will not do this exhaust any justice. going through Lincoln tunnel it sounded like thunder.
I can't get over how good the car sounds. I would have paid double if i knew. its amazing. And the cherry on top is there is no drone at any speed, any rpm. Girlfriend and mother approved.
