How loud are your stangs?

[xr8d302]

After one of my last posts, I thought of a pretty good question. Anyone decibal tested their exhausts lately? I hit 130 from 8 feet back in a parking lot at around 5000 rpm. It's so illegal but it's worth it!

I would call that loud, at work you would need Ear muffs and earplugs to drive it. I think half those
decibals in a workplant you are required to wear
ear plugs.....not all maybe....but....

I run MAC cat-back w/ 3.5 tips, Bassani Equal header and O/R pipe.
I don't know the db level, but it's pretty obnoxious and stinky!

I don't know the exact numbers, but I know my exhaust was so loud I got a headache driving to work, so I put some high flow cats on it to lower my consumption of advil.

not loud enough, have stock exhaust, but will be getting l/t,prochamber,xr1's, how loud will that be?

mmmmm....prochamber and xr1's......sounds like money to me

If you're going from stock exhaust to that, you're going to leave a huckstable or two in the driver's seat when you start it up for the first time!!

really? i've never heard of that site, and as soon as i get off this stupid work computer, you can rest assured i'll be at home with the volume turned way up.

The one thing that is not good about having a ridonkulously loud exhaust is the looks you get from the older gentlemen at autoshows. Last year I did the Henry Ford Annual Birthday Bash show in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Before I left, one of the senior staff from the Manitoba Mustang and Ford Association told me to tee up my rpm for him (he'd heard me when i pulled in a few hours earlier). After he twisted my arm a bit, I let it go and i didn't see too many happy elderly faces as I pulled out. The younger enthusiasts ( aged 50 - 15 ) seemed to enjoy the show though

I have and O/R H pipe and straight pipes coming right out the side. I dont know the decibals, but its pretty loud, and illegal.

when i was still running my shorties and h-pipe, i had a set of qtp electric cutouts on the flowtubes. honest to god it sounded like a nascar at wot.

I got 118 db's on my bassani X with cats & 2 chamber flows.
There were 3 of us checking the cars with a decible meter, the loudest was stock cats & Borla stingers cat back @ 121db. The other mustang got 120 with pro chamber & Mac cat back.

The www.mustangworld.com site in the tech section some guy details
how you can have both dump style and tailpipes be putting the
twist off cap from big drums into a hole you cut in your mufflers
beside the tail pipes, takes work but then you can have both.

i definately couldnt drive my car much more if mine was any louder. can be heard from a few blocks away at WOT. even if i keep my car at about 900rpms going down my block in 4th gear, i still wake everyone up at 3-4 in the morn. of 9/10 of my friends, they say that mine is the best stang they have ever heard on the road....i have yet to let someone drive it so i can hear it myself from the outside. my car aint no

 

[95tealGT]

Not loud enough. I have an O/R H and 2 chamber flows now. I'm going to change to LT's, O/R X-pipe, and bassani strip muffs.

cool man. I'm from winnipeg. too bad i couldnt go to the show tho.

what exhaust do you have???

 

[88stangmangt]

BBK Long tube headers BBk off road-H and American thunder cat-back and it is CRAZY loud.

 

[94Blue302GT]

why the heck would you want it extremely loud? just a nice little burboly sound would make me happy, and did, till my stang got knocked into. I loved it, stock muffs with a summit off road H pipe. It gave that purfect growl under load, yet was pretty quiet when i would just cruise, allowing for the subs and 1200 watt amp to do their job... ahhhh, the bliss of my car... DOH, it's totalled
