    Is there such a thing on the GTP? I want an exhaust sound that's relatively throaty (It's getting cammed anyway, so this is no big deal at idle), but I want something that doesn't turn into a rasp factory at the high end. It doesn't need to be loud either, since I'm going for the sleeper aesthetic.

    Any help?

    Borla's are bland as hell, Magnaflow's drone like ****. Anything chambered like Flowmasters are even worse.

    Factory resonator.

    Leave all the factory catback.

    Only thing you can do is....run headers and get a high flow cat.

    That'd be plenty quiet.

    Probably wouldn't even hear the cam lope.

    If you wanted a "little more" noise...then swap the mufflers. Something quiet, Dynomax Super Turbo's are legit.

    Yeah; for the record when the blue car was put back to basically stock with catless headers and a factory catback...you could tell it wasn't "stock" but it was still pretty damn quiet.

    I just don't care for stock mufflers because they sound like a choking cat.

    I need my car to be asleep. Its primary use will be 'stang hunting.

    Mustang's will only race loud cars.

    Ask Slowpoke, he'll tell you. It's gotta sound fast to be a good race.
