onederful100 · July 6th, 2009, 04:49 PM

which one of these mustangs sounds better? fox body has shorties, o/r h pipe, flowmaster 44's. s197 has LT's, o/r x pipe, pypes M80's welded, MBRP deletes. you can also leave a comment why you think 1 is better than the other. thanks.

In that clip the fox has it hands down..

I love the sound of a badass foxbody.

stangnewb · July 6th, 2009, 05:41 PM

hard to beat the sound of a 5.0

07 Boss · July 6th, 2009, 06:15 PM

Fox Body for sure. I love that rumble as she approaches and I like the crackely little backfire when she gets off the gas, very old school sounding.

AnimalCrackers · July 6th, 2009, 06:20 PM

I think the general consensus is...o/r h sounds better than o/r x

Love the pushrod motors.

In this video the fox for sure but i think in most cases the s197 will win for sure. I think a s197 with longtubes o/r x-pipe and borlas sounds better

QTRHORSE · July 6th, 2009, 09:03 PM

The Fox!!! Yes I have both a fox and a 08GT

Kiddigretarzz · July 6th, 2009, 09:11 PM

There is clearly more volume level going on in the recording when the S197 passes by and you can hear him more clearly than the Fox.
I vote for the S197 but would have liked a better recording level when they both passed by plus I´m not to familiar with the Fox as there are few around where I live.

The fox hands down. Nothing can beat the sound of a pushrod motor.

ia07gt · July 7th, 2009, 05:01 AM

i agree, stock for stock the s197's exhaust is much better, it has a better tone to it. when the fox's exhaust was stock i just couldnt stand it, it needed to be changed it sounded like the engine was getting choked. but the s197's stock exhaust sounds pretty good, just not loud enough.

Fox body for sure. A prochamber, long tube fox with flows gives me wood everytime.

06RedfireGT · July 7th, 2009, 10:51 PM

Fox no doubt.

The S197 sounded like a diesel truck.

What about a 600 cubic inch Hemi with 14:1 copression and open 2 1/8 inch longtubes?

In that vid, the fox, but because I don't like the sound of the S197. But if the S197 had Mac LTs, offroad X, and Stingers, it'd win hands down. And I'm not biased at all

I like them both, Not a fan of the fox but do like the 5.0

Might be in the market for a fox just for the track for next year.
