2001 Ford f150 and 2001 Ford mustang gt exhaust sound comparison question?
Why is it that even though both these vehicles have the same motor in them even with the same aftermarket exhaust the mustang and f150 still sound different? Its the same motor right? Should get the same sound?
I would think the truck exhaust system is longer, that probably would change the sound. Not familiar with the truck and car engines but do they both have the same compression ratio?
They probably come tuned differently from the factory. Plus the exhaust systems can't be identical on two very different vehicles. Even with the same size pipe and the same muffler, the pipe will have bends in different places.
The exhaust sound is dependent on displacement, cam, exhaust tube diameter, length of tube, number of chambers (cat's, resonance, mufflers) and placement or presence of a cross over pipe.
The cam in the truck might be different. Of course the exhaust pipes total length is different.
The primary exhaust headers also are a factor.
- Which exhaust/exhaust system would work best for my car? I own a 1970 Ford Torino (Brougham) with a 351 Cleveland engine running on stock exhaust. I want to upgrade the exhaust (I'm thinking Flowmaster) but like, does the whole exhaust system need to be done, or like half? I need your help making my baby roar lol. Please give me your best suggestions and approximate cost.
- Will a new exhaust actually increase horsepower and fuel economy in my 2001 ford ranger 4.0? I'm looking at the flowmaster 40 series duel exhaust here: http://www.truckexhaustkits.com/ranger-96-04-dual-exhaust-2-25-ma-pipe-flowmaster-40/
- Can you fit a 11-14 mustang gt exhaust on a 14 mustang v6? To make it fit what would I need and would it sound the same I wanted to get the ford racing gt500 style
- Is it worth putting a catback exhaust system and 4-1 headers on my 2001 ford focus? I need to replace my stock exhaust system on my 2001 ford focus ZTS DOHC Zetec-E and want to know the pros and cons if I install a catback exhaust system and 4-1 headers or what else I should replace my exhaust system with, I can do it myself so ill only pay for parts. Is there a performance gain? What're the drawbacks?
