Exhaust options for 5.0

[suggi]

It seems there aren't many options other than the good ol Borla. What else is out there? I bet this engine could sing.

Not aware of any cat back setups for sale currently. Universal mufflers/custom exhaust, is your best option right now.

Seems ironic that a car that is burdened with a few hundred extra pounds of sound deadening and is the quietest in it's class, needs a louder exhaust

For everyone's listening pleasure, test drive a Tesla Model S. When you stomp the go pedal in a Model S all you're going hear are your passengers yelling, "Damn, do that again!". As mentioned above, quality sedans should be quiet. Want noise? I'll take you for a ride in a 427 Cobra . Now that's (outstanding) noise .

+1. I have a Borla system on my 2002 TA (last year they were made ) and my hearing has suffered as a result. I'm delighted with the quiet cabin of the 5.0. Guess the fact that I'm officially now an "old fart" might have something to do with it!

I like the way the stock exhaust note sounds in the interior when you floor it now that the engine is broken in. I have my GTO to drive when I want a brutal/mean as heck sounding exhaust note for everyone else to hear.

Magnaflow has one available for the v8 currently. V6 is coming soon.

Wow that came out fast. I put the Magnaflows on my 2012 - not sure if I'm going to do it again. Has anyone installed them and if so can you provide a sound / video clip?

Enhancing/tuning a vehicles exhaust note all started [for us old farts] with cloths pins holding playing cards on the front forks of our bicycles so that the cards would clatter against the wheel spokes when we rode. The more sound you could generate - the faster you thought you were going. Didn't take long before we added cards to the back wheel too . We all knew that more sound equaled more power.
Seems the good folks at Magnaflow and Borla figured this out many years ago. Some of the guys riding motorcycles use straight unbaffled pipes instead of playing cards in pretty much the same way .

Sort of like sticking a rolled up sock down your shorts!

A rolled up sock is time tested and remains popular but nothing beats a balled up deck of cards for firmness .
Method #2 should not be attempted if your evening plans include a casino visit .

Is that why s63s snap crackle and pop. Some people like to have their cake and eat it too.

Method #2 should not be attempted if your evening plans include a casino visit . Speaking of casinos, do you play on this website that has a lot of gambling?

Just to clarify, are you referring to some sort of life hack or trick involving a rolled-up sock and a balled-up deck of cards?
