Any aftermarket exhaust available for the R?

[Swacer_2]

Atak + Borla tips: loud and raspy on higher RPM like their promo video. The cold start is real aggressive as well. However, normal driving is not bad. Wife mode is impressively quiet and sounds like the stock quiet mode.

Did you happen to take any videos of the borla with the stock tips?

Did you happen to take any videos of the borla with the stock tips?

I did, but the video is terrible and not capture the sound well. But the sound is more refined and elegant with the resonated stock tips compared to Borla tips. There is no rasp at any RPM. Manual shifting through the gears is like playing an instrument hearing all the different exhaust notes with each gear being very distinct.

For example on the freeway, Borla atak + stock tips:
10 - Deepest V8 growl
9 - V8 growl
8 - Super performance vibes
7 - Performance vibes

I do get now why Ford designed the exhaust system with so many resonator, maybe to mask the sound signature of the 5.2 V8. Without the resonator, I get bangs and pops almost everytime I left off the gas. Guaranteed rasp when flooring it.

Sounds like a Shelby gt350/500 haha.

I am not sure I understand your scoring item. Are you giving it a 10 for deepest V8 growl? Or are you talking about how it sounds in each gear?

Either way, I am looking for the deep sound, the voodoo already gives me the raspy sound haha.

Thank you, I think i figured out my exhaust setup. Now, just waiting for the allocation to be given so the order can be pulled.

Yes, that's how it sounds in each gear. Wish I could explain it better but it sounds deepest with stock tips.

What gave a deeper sound, all stock or stock tips with atak muffler?

Atak with stock tips is by far the deepest and best sounding.

The stock muffler is so underwhelming.

Borla atak with stock tips

Did you ever try the stock muffler with 3.5 tailpipes (no tips or bottle resonators)?
