Meh, I don't like loud exhaust so that's not a problem for me. As long as that beesh goes when I press the gas is all that matters. I could care less about it being loud and obnoxious.
Not to mention, there's not much out there that matches the old 5.0 as far as sound. Those 5.0's always sounded sick. Not sure bout the new 5.0, but the classic 5.0 was always music to my ears.
Hey, I like a fast truck aswell. But a v8 is a must for me anywho. Lol. But my 5.4 is good enough for me. Add some frpp cams. It will be pushing about 40 more horses and with the extra mods it will have close to the same power as the 5.0. So no need to upgrade.
Close to the same as an UN-MODDED 5.0. Just imagine the possibilities... No seriously, by the time I'm ready to replace ole blue, I figure there will be a good bit of tuning info and products for the EcoBoost. Maybe by then Ford won't be so touchy about "tinkering" with the EcoBoost also. The way it stands, they're voiding warranties if you so much as look at it wrong.
I've heard it and driven a new 5.0 Stang. They usually sound different in a truck is all I'm saying. Longer pipes, etc.
Believe me. I'm doing everything I can to talk myself out of upgrading and make myself like my 5.4 more. Lol. So hmmm help!! Lol
