Well, it won't sound like a Mustang but it does have a pretty unique sound. The Magnaflows have a rougher note than the Borlas and sound more aggressive. If you listen to my sound clip it has a nice, deep agressive sound on startup. At idle it sounds a lot deeper than my uncle's Mustang with a Flowmaster catback and MAC Prochamber just not as loud.

In the higher rpm ranges it sounds like stock except louder and deeper. I've gotten a lot of compliments on it so I guess it sounds good from the outside.The only way you can make the Contour sound meaner like pissed off, is adding headers and a y-pipe. The Mustang has an almost perfect exhaust note that is almost impossible to recreate owing to its engine and exhaust layout.



I agree my 5.0 sounds

Ya I like the stock sound alot but the owner before me removed the resonator so upon cold startup and untill it gets warm it has a rasp kind of like a fart can but definatly not as bad. Once it warms up it sounds great. I was thinking about going trubenz/borla but then I was thinking this is an SVT and like the Cobras and Lightnings Maybe I want a more meaner sound or beefier sound. But I dont want it to sound like a V6 stang w/ flowmasters (al la wana be V8 sound). Also does the turbenz/magnaflow drone or rasp at all? What about w/ a optimized y-pipe and/or headers? I also do not want it no be too loud b/c whenI had an exhaust leak it was noticably louder and at around 3500rpms it would make something in the cabin vibrate (VERY annoying). Thats why all this time I was looking into the resonated Borla so I wouldnt have the inside cabin vibrations. Decisions Desicions. Could you answer some of my speculations and questions above. As an owner of this setup you more than anyone would be able to agree or enlighten me w/ some answers. Could you post your Magnaflow vid as well? Thanks
