I don't know if you've ever heard a duratech, with an SVT exhaust, but theres no comparison, the duratechs just sound sweet.

I've heard more than one. I've even rode in simon's SC'd SVT. you don't understand a little joke and enthusiasm for the engine you and I both own?

Does stock svt exhaust on an svt sound the same as the duretec v6 with svt exhaust? Cuz my friend's svt sounded good, but way too quiet. Especially after we put it next to my other friends Mustang SVT with Borla Exhuast

Yeah two more cylinders and a bigger exhaust will do that
