Getting your hands on a Mustang is a thrilling experience. Especially from an ownership perspective. Even the mid range 2.3 liter EcoBoost version with its 310 HP and 433Nm (320 lb-ft) of torque can pack enough of a punch.
But what about the noise? Can you get your muscle car kicks from a 4 cylinder engine? Is it even possible? Well, no, not really. As you can see from the clip, it will sound just like your average 2.5 liter 4 cylinder Toyota Camry when revved. It’s a fact of life.
Even the entry level, slightly cheaper Mustang V6 Fastback sounds a lot better. It’s a V6! And these are all factory exhausts we’re talking about. But fear not, you can always go for a ROUSH Performance exhaust system, and once you play the video and hear how sweet it sounds even on a 4 cylinder unit, you’ll understand why they’ve chosen to always spell their company name in all-caps. We should add a couple of exclamation points too and have it say ‘ROUSH!!‘
On their website, ROUSH say that their exhaust uses factory mounting points and will fit to both V6 and EcoBoost Mustangs without additional modifications or weldings. The exhaust kit features ROUSH designed single tip high-flow mufflers, corrosion resistant 304 stainless steel, full mandrel bending and 4″ flash-chromed dual wall tips.
The end result, your exhaust system will sound much better with a deeper tone and idle and a more aggressive sound at high revs.
