I'm a fan of the Kooks exhaust.
Which catback?

Very Happy with the Adult Sounding Rumble/Tone/Exhaust Note of the ARH-H-Cat-Back...A little drone but not enough to not allow normal conversation...4.5 out of 5.
Any chance of a video clip? :beer:
All I have is idling in my garage...Lame but here it is anyway...Keep in mind, it's not a Look at me from a mile away loud exhaust, I call it adult-->:coolman:

Man, that sounds good! :beer: yea either these cars exhausts are too overbearing or too raspy sounding. Definitely not like the previous 5.0 how's the drone?
Slight Drone. To be expected with any & all custom exhaust systems IMO...Drone, Increased Volume or whatever people wanna call it, is gonna be introduced when ya start freeing up the exhaust flow.
With the SW cat back I had on the car, it (Drone) became unbearable, no way to carry on conversation W/O drastically raising voices. It has a great exhaust note but too much sound in the cabin for me.
The ARH has a very slight Drone/Volume, not enough to interfere with conversation but there is more volume of sound in the cabin than Stock...That's why we make these (Cat-Backs) modifications, For the sound not performance.
Here's my FRPP Sport.

Sounds good man! :beer: how much you pick up that system for? Is that the 2.5" system?

It is the 2.5" system, got it from Hypermotive for $1050 iirc.
borlas would have been cheaper through us and we have s, atak, and touring in stock
I bought before Borla's were released. To my ear the FRPP Sport is slightly more aggressive than the S-Types but not as loud as the Atak. The only exhaust that I ever consider is Borla, you can't go wrong with any of them for overall quality and drone.
What I don't really understand is that Borla said to get the 3" kit if you have any forced induction, tune, etc. But IIRC, the 03-04 had only the 2.5" catback. So is the restriction really that much?
I just bought my kooks catback at the beginning of the month because of Lethal's sale. I'll be waiting a couple weeks but I can't wait to get it installed.
From what I've read 2.5" is fine until you're wanting to push well over 700-800HP. If you're indeed going FI then I'd probably go 3", but NA 2.5" makes no difference at all.
But my question was if 2.5" was fine on the 03-04 Cobras, why isn't it good for a boosted coyote? IMO, the only thing that would change really would be dyno numbers. But then again I'm not sure and that why I'm inquiring lol
The simple answer is, 2.5" is fine on a boosted coyote. But just like 1 7/8" headers vs 1 3/4" headers, if you give a man a bigger number to buy they'll probably buy it.
Yea I think it'll be fine. Only one way to find out right? In my thought process, Ford would have made a 3" instead of a 2.5" if they thought there would be an issue.
I think of everything I've heard here the first one in the original post is my favorite. MRT I think? Who in the world is MRT btw lol? I've never heard of that and all of a sudden is one of the best sounding exhausts. Also WOW on cost. Long gone are the days of a $280 GT500 axel back and self install it appears.
