New 5.0 Owner

[Crowley]

I just bought a 2015 5.0 Ultimate. I change cars every few years, but this is the first luxury car. I typically go for muscle cars (although my last car was a 2015 wrx Sti). I needed to get back into a V8 and after reading the reviews on this car and the steep discounts, I wanted to give it a try.

I do think I want to do some exhaust work; any ideas on who all has an exhaust for this car?

If I keep it for some time I'll probably do some wider wheels as well. That might be all (except for some K&N filters). I've gone crazy in the past (2004 cobra, 2010 Camaro 2ssRs) with mods, but I think I'll keep this tame .

Anyway, I've had the car for a day and so far I love it. Like I said, just wish I could hear the exhaust a bit more ..

Welcome to forums.. Just got mine on the 9th... What a great ride...

The only one I've come across is the Magnaflow 19116 for $1292.59.
More than I want to pay until I hear what it sounds like.

You should get it and record some sound clips and help me decide

I've done electronic cutouts on mine. Best of both worlds.

And I love the sound, when it's open its obnoxious like my Shelby and when closed its silent. We seem to have similar taste. Welcome to the forum.

Nice. I had a 2012 and then a 2013 GT500 and loved them. I'm wanting to get into a GT350 ( if markups ever stop)

I like the silence

0-60 in 5 secs and you barely know the car is moving

850hp is fun. Gt350 is a much better car though. The chassis and suspension alone is a huge improvement over the old.

That's the beauty of cutouts. It's as quiet as stock but you can make it crazy loud with the flip of a switch

Congrats on the new ride and aboard. The car learns how you drive. If you drive it like you stole it, at around 1500-2000 miles you will hear a significant change in the exhaust note. Nothing like Huddleston's but enough of a change that you will like it.

At first I was like it needs more sound but now I like the low volume. I think once I add the k&n filters it will add the extra engine sound I'm looking for.

please don't go with oiled filters for the car....

what would you recommend?

 

[tmf2004]

i agree with Huddleson.... AEM and a few others have non oiled filters but no one offers these for our cars yet...

Spectra makes a filter but they "coned" mainly for intakes... removing the boxes and adding a cone filter could produce some intake sound

I think there is a multitude of info on oiled vs non-oiled filters on this forum - search around and give it a read. I don't have the link handy or I'd refer you to it.

 

[WHYTE5OH]

Yes, I would prefer a dry filter but since no one makes one except K&N for our cars I might have to consider them. Its a pretty sparse field out there.

I'm a little disappointed myself... almost 2 years with the 2nd Gen and hardly any aftermarket support..

That sounds great !
Can you shed some light as to where to buy it and installation?
Is it a specific brand?
Does it affect the warranty?

Thanks !!
