So the wife said something disturbing...

I just pulled into the garage and walked into the house...wife says "your Boss doesn't sound as good as your Shelby did, I miss how good it sounded"...made me a little sad.

I have Borla Ataks as I was told they are some of the best sounding and loudest with no discs. I like how they sound at WOT but at idle and low RPMs they sound better than stock but a little tame.

My '08 Shelby was stock with the KR Mufflers. She sounded amazing at idle and WOT and everything in between. Tons of compliments on how she sounded.

I get tons of compliments on the Boss on how she looks but never on how she sounds. Is there that much of a difference between the two setups and motors? Or is it just the muffler? I wish the KRs would work on a 2013.

I don't want to waste tons of monies buying exhausts, but I do miss the rumbly burbly exhaust note. Not sure if Roush or GT500 Quads will do the trick.

Thoughts?
 
Ive put BBK varitunes on my Boss and on the GT I've put the Magnaflow competition axle back quads

They sound wicked

I've got a friend with a 2012 Boss running Corsa axle backs and no side disks. My 13 has the stock mufflers and 7/8" side disks. Side by side at idle you don't notice any real difference between the cars. But when he gets on it, his roars.

I've thought about putting on a set of MRT Intercepters. Haven't heard them in person, only on video. Nice old school sound.
 
Track key
Roush axel backs
Home-made short side pipes.

All i'm 'm going to say is Jegs SS cat deletes. keep your axel backs and put that money into your tuner to turn off the rear 02 sensor and you will get the sound you wanted and get about 20HP free. :eek: ??? ::) :) ;D 8)

Does sound wicked. Again the issue is not at WOT. It's at idle or just cruising, the car sounds timid relatively speaking of course ;)
 
Do you still have resonators on the car?

If so, removing them may give you that little extra grumble your looking for without crossing over the line of liveable and obnoxious.

I have a similar setup as the guy with the dumps, and when lopey idle kicks in, the lady at the drive through cant hear me yelling my order at her. I have to turn off the car.

Sounds like you have it just right then!
