So everyone knows im a exhaust freak. One thing i hate about my 5.0 is the lack of the trumpet. Every 4.6L with aftermarket exhaust will trumpet for the most part.

If you dont know what a trumpet is: The noise you hear @ 2 seconds and through out the video in example #1 video:

example 1- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0V9pmpgzrI&feature=my_favorites&list=FLtMgw1TjtLKqPQ5EuZkBuaw

In video number two you can hear it the whole video!
example #2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOFY3926oG4&list=FLtMgw1TjtLKqPQ5EuZkBuaw&index=3&feature=plpp_video


Now i heard this noise coming from O/r X and O/r H's on the 4.6L. My old 97 GT did this noise big time with flows/macs and o/r H.

I have a o/r X and 5.0 and had many exhaust combos and i cant reproduce this trumpet noise. It this something only a 4.6L can do around 2500rpm?

Or would a o/r H on my 5.0 reproduce the 2500rpm trumpet. I understand these are 2 different engines, but i just wanna know if its possible to get a trumpet sound again?

I also had a p/r prochamber+flows on my 4.6L and didn't get the trumpet till i put the o/r H. So im wondering is the O/R x on my 5.0 smoothing out the exhaust to much and a o/r h would wake it up!

I THINK my magnaflow side exhaust makes the sound you're talking about.... That's what I wanted, didn't expect it, and got it with my setup. I'm not sure what makes it do that though.

What kind of midpipe? X or H ?

That video isn't a great representation of my exhaust, though it only makes the sound i'm thinking of at lower RPM's when the engine is under heavy load. I don't think getting 5.0's to do it is an easy task if possible lol.

=[ depressing. I brought my mufflers wanting that sound and didn't get it @ all.

this sound ==> http://youtu.be/GYoA3fD0psU?t=50s

Anyone wanna buy a 302? Im swapping in a 4.6 4v LOL

All my buddies have a 4.6L and there exhaust sound so much better than mine. I even found myself liking the 4.6 with O/r H and SLP LM1 because of the 4.6 trumpet. Dang it!!!!
Hell, i even get jealous when i hear the 3v with o/r H and flows.. those trumpet louder than hell in person!

Yeah, mine does that just a little bit, just at a deeper pitch... I doubt i'll get a better video of it anytime soon though haha.

And that sound is the biggest reason i'd like a 4.6

swap in a hot 4.6 duh

:) If i had the money and skill i would swap in a 4v then tork tech setup down the road=[

I'm not sure if I get what sound you want but I think i'm glad my car doesn't do it lol

Well ya. A lot of 4.6L owners hate the trumpet noise. I was one of them when i first got my 4.6L with o/r h. It sounded like a HARLEY from inside.. down right nasty in a bad way. But it grown on me.

I wish the 5.0 did more of the bubbly sound you hear from the 4v 4.6 but that's the only sound I'd want. Is it that really loud kinda choppy sound u want?

Well the sound is here. Listen for when it gets louder inside the car @ 39ish. http://youtu.be/GYoA3fD0psU?t=35s


It sounds like someone playing a trumpet pretty much. But yes the underwater 4v sound is down right sexy.

Nope, not the rasp either.

And i can't tell with borla clip. Im just going to take a L and say its a 4.6L thing.


I mean i still love the 5.0 because of this car ==> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGgYBlHM7v4

My bassani sounded nothing like that lol

:rolleyes:LOL! For the most part i know its hard to get that sound. I listened to bassani 5.0 clips for years and never heard another one like that one. LOL. Me and my buddy joke around about it always. I would need a modded 306.. dr gas X (which they dont make anymore) and long tubes... just for that exhaust sound.

lol. Yep thats what its called, "the underwater gurgle"

The people who hate that noise calls it the "underwater" sound. But i love it just like you.

=[ my mustang life revolves around the v8 exhaust. Kind of sad now that i think about it.
