Actually the reason Ferrari's sound the way they do is because they have a flat plane crank, where as most other "normal" cars have cross plane cranks...

Here's a good explanation of this

Re: Exhaust sound of a mustang GT Cobra

You want your truck to sound like a Mustang?? You might as well sell your truck and go buy a mustang...

That's a cool link. And yeah, a very unique sound. Guy down the road from me has a Lambo I hear from time to time when I am home... savor that like a fine wine

Re: Exhaust sound of a mustang GT Cobra

I should have the crossover completed in a day or two and hope for some preferable sound difference. I located it at the rear of the transfer case 18" before the mufflers. My crate 350 is low compression with stock heads, 268 Comp cam, roller rockers, and mid length tube headers. I am not an engine builder but the engine performs to my satisfaction on 87 octane.

Can't help it, still like the sound of a mustang gt especially in a parking garage.

I will probably never own a Ford but one Ford I do like is a 68 mustang GT fastback with a 390 or better. I have not seen any in any Dallas nor Cincinnati car shows yet. I rode in a hyped 390 stick back when I was in high school and still remember the ride.

Re: Exhaust sound of a mustang GT Cobra

had a bassani off road x-pipe and flowmaster 40's on my old 02 GT best sounding car i ever owned, i like loud but i have to agree its in the engine not the exhaust that gives it that Mustang sound. have 40's on my truck and it sounds like a chevy.
