Can people please stop recording exhaust clips six inches from the exhaust pipe? It distorts and clips like crazy and it gives the listener no impression of what the car really sounds like when it's driving down the road. Hell, a Prius would sound loud when recorded from this vantage point. How about some drive-by clips?

I dunno I was surprised at how much the audio WASN'T clipping, given how loud that had to have been.

Sounded glorious... Way better than the gnarly stock sound IMHO.

Sounds absolutely fantastic. Bet it's even better a few feet off. Wish it wasn't attached to a Mustang.

Some of us can appreciate great things for what they are without having to relate to a badge.

I'll pick up one of these in a few years as I already have my hands full for the next 2 years in terms of car purchases. Ford really did everything right with this car.

Has nothing to do with the badge. Thanks for making assumptions.

It has everything with seeing them EVERYWHERE. I'm already bored with the new Mustang and it's only been out a few months.

Seeing 3 series everywhere never really takes away from my enjoyment of my M3; can't say that I'd have that issue with the GT350/Mustang either

Really? I never heard one extensively, well one with a modded exhaust. I was hoping my X5M would sound good with a after market exhaust but its no where near this.

Surprised to see that comparo made.

I track with a friend running akraprovic on an E92, it sounds amazing but doesn't sound remotely like that flat plane Ford IRL.



....
I would have zero issues owning one of these beasts no matter how may Mustangs were on the road.
These things are a beast on track.

Oh im sorry, i didnt realize there were so many Faux Ms in your area. I can totally see how thats exactly the same as driving a car with virtually no aesthetic difference from the base model.

The GT350 looks as different from a base Mustang as an M4 and a 428i appear. If the Mustang wasn't so large, I'd probably have a GT350 now. Great motor and nicely capable chassis.

That thing sounds awesome. I had the fortune of being able to drive a GT350R this past weekend and it's the reason my 335i is now posted in the for sale section.

On the case of the M4 and 428i, I sadly agree. M4 looks like a hand and a half of dumbed down Korean dog chow.

All Mustangs look alike. Wait, is that racist?
