Definitive EcoBoost Exhaust Sound Thread

Haha! I was slightly bamboozled by the idea of a set of glass packs downstream a set of mags.
And glass packs on a SHO. They sound good on my pickup though! Lol
Makes sense now.

Ha! Excellent story.
There was a set of 24" glass packs on my pickup for...Geeze, 35-40 years. Needless to say, they didn't sound too good anymore.
A couple years ago I threw a set of 18" 2.25" Cherry Bombs on her.
Nothing better than a screaming SBC, I'll tell ya!

Either way, they look sweet!
Excited about hearing the setup.

Lol
Thats my car... the second vid.

Yea it didnt rasp at all with the muffled x in it... but was much quieter.

That rasp is the reason I installed the Corsa yesterday

where is your old exhaust ? I don't want mine loud.
 
Just sitting in the garage... have Magnaflow 11386, 2.5" muffled x, and Dynomax Axleback just sitting here.
Pulled off Magnaflow about a month ago for a bare x... def sounded better before. Quieter but great tone and none of that rasp, even with catless dp's.
 
Maybe a dumb question...but semi-related.
In watching a these videos, I'm noticing I hear a lot of turbos spooling up. Sure, this is more pronounced on the guys with upgraded ATPs, but what is the most common approach to get you there? I love that sound!!
 
The less restrictions you have the louder your turbos get. Take out cats, turbos get louder. Take out the factory resonator and put some straightflow mufflers in they get super loud. Mine were louder without the vibrant s, but not much.

Just exhaust stuff... muffler swap made em audible. 3rd cat/res delete, even with a muffled x and they were pretty noticeable. 

Catless dp's and under any load its whistles... great to hear em reflecting off cars/buildings/trees while you have windows down.

 
Does anyone have or can make a video of how a Corsa exhaust sounds from inside their SHO while cruising at highway speeds? With or without DP's.
Please and thank you.

Video clip rolling down the road ... Corsa with PPE non catted

http://youtu.be/tnx6dIRq6ps
 
I was about to say... its basically useless to try to video.
Even with my catless dp's at hwy speed the tires and wind are louder. It falls a distant 3rd in the noise category unless im giving it throttle.
 
Alright...first off: Thank you all for this excellent resource!


Second: (edited to make more sense)
Has anyone heard flowmasters on a transverse?

What I'm really trying to isolate from all these videos is the rasp. So what is it exactly I want to stay away from?

I'm thinking 2.5" or 3" non-catted DPs, 3" back to magnaflow Tru-X 3" crossover, 3" back to MBRP, Corsa, or Flowmaster 10s, out to 4 or 5" tips...good idea / bad idea? Hoping for something original here, that fits my taste...

Also, anyone heard any updates to the 3" downpipes @adrianMAK had in development? I haven't seen anything posted since May...
 
:chop:

Whelp...that must have done it...not sure what I asked that put it over the edge; but sorry I suck and killed this thread. :axe:
