Huh?
Always thought my GT was a little … loud … for a production car, GT or not. Didn’t think much of it…Never drove, or was a passanger in, another 05 GT other than mine. No, I didn't look under the rear when I bought it. Assumed as a used car with only 4000 miles it was 100% stock...anyhow...
So, first time I happen to pull next to a hardtop 05 GT just yesterday, and was looking forward to hearing that sweet same exhaust note as it pulled away. Light turns green. Nothing. Thought maybe my window wasn’t down far enough. I catch up and had both windows down. Let him pull away again. Nothing. Hmmm…mystery. I was curious why everyone looks at me at the lights.
Got home, looked at my mufflers, and low and behold they are Flowmaster 40 series. Stock Ford tips, stock Ford clamps, look stock...
Is it possible that an OEM Flowmaster was an option on a 05 GT? BTW: They are 42543, which on the Flowmaster site looks like 40 series with a 2.5" inlet/outlet but I measure 3.5" at the tip, and it's a perfect tube (i.e. must be 3.5" at the outlet. I'm telling you the install looks stock, with Ford stickers, Ford clamps, Ford stamped into the pipe on the other side of the muffler, etc...
