Does anybody else think the 5.0 'Coyote' doesn't sound very good?

[Rainmaker]

Man, Ive been to several meets and have heard alot of Coyote motors and their exhaust setup. I have yet to hear one that I think sounds very good. The motor is great but most do not sound very clean. I think some 4.6 4v (cammed) motors sound amazing, and I am a fan of nearly every pushrod exhaust note, but the 5.0 DOHC just doesn't sound very good to me. Anybody else feel this way? It just sounds too run-of-the-mill and generic, not enough character or soul in the sound.

It sounds too refined. I think the 4.6 2V sounds nasty cammed with exhaust. The 5.0 just sounds too clean.

There are a lot around me that have way too raspy of a sound. I think some sound good though.

 

[o2sys]

I love the sound of the coyotes....I don't think my 3v sounds good...with any exhaust

 

[Sn95Snake]

Same as most V8s depends on the exhaust.

 

[CobraRed01]

I agree. 1999/2001 New Edge Cobra...one of the best sounding Mustangs. Pure 4v N/A V8. Better firing order IMHO. Then again I don't care for an overly loud exhaust on the street below 4k, that is. H pipe over X pipe.

My 2015 GT with Borla ATAK sounds awesome.

My 3v with o/r h and maganaflow cat back probably sounded a little bit better than my 5.0. Wouldn't say it sounds bad though I get compliments all the time

Not really.

I thought the same rainmaker... until I put headers and a x on it then It sounded great. When I hear one with just a cat back it sounds disgusting to me.

Look up 2011 5.0 stainless works full exhaust (should be a grey 2011 5.0... if you don't like that well... lol

 

[R.D.P.]

Most I hear aren't throaty enough, they are either sort of quiet of really raspy. Guy I know has Gibson on his '15 and I thought it was just stock.

 

[PC03GT]

It's all on the exhaust setup imo. The 5.0s definitely have their own sound though

 

[VRYALT3R3D]

Not really.

Obviously this is a very subjective topic.

I love how loud my exhaust is along with the crackle and pops it provides when you downshift.

 

[BladeX10]

I kind of have to agree. They have a weird sound that i cant really get into. It sounds "hollow" and empty if that makes any sense.

Seems to me the sound has been hard to get right after Ford moved the mufflers to the back. TClark22 has a very nice setup that sounds good if you ask me (Coyote swapped New Edge) -

[Sinister04L]

I think my 5.0 sounds pretty good. :shrug:

 

[vergil]

Sounds better than your Viper.

I've got a Bassani catback kit on my coyote after having one on my lightning. Good deep nice music above 3K and I can go through a drive thru without killing my engine. Reminds me of a flat head sometimes but they share firing orders. The coyotes going into the new F-150s firing order has changed back to the same as older 4v MOD motors, I'd like to compare one of those truck coyotes to the mustang coyote and see if the sound really changes.
My cousin has a viper, with no cats and maybe a pair of resonators. Sounds like a John Deere at idle and a T-Rex with blue balls when he's on the gas, obnoxiously loud, and angry noise.
