Oh my, what a big muffler you have there

At first glance, one might think that it's the gas tank.

It seems like being all race car and stuff they would have shrunk the muffler and used the space for a functional rear diffuser

That's how they got the 50/50 weight distribution

I've been around enough newer performance Mustang variants to be very grateful for a big muffler. Too many of them are ear-splitting when they nail the throttle. I think it was a GT350 that got kicked out of one of our autocross events for being over the sound limit.

Stock?

Stock?

I think so. The dual mode exhausts are stupid.

They make sense if used under the right circumstances.  Presumably, the idea is that you get a little bit of extra bhp with the noisy mode.

[AutobahnSHO]

Yeah if it doesn't increase performance I HATE loud exhaust. But even if it does boost HP I really really don't like to hear it at loud levels on the street.

What I don't get are cars that snap, crackle and pop when deaccelerating.  Subarus are the worst but I've seen/heard Mercedes (AMG) that do it as well.

My El Camino did that with my old exhaust system and carb. New carb and exhaust don't do it. (Helps that the exhaust is longer now, goes all the way to the back instead of dumping in front of the axle)

[r0tor]

My RX8 naturally does it... Outside of that all modern cars just program that into the tune for sportyness

Subarus sound awful and Subaru drivers want to share that awfulness with the world.
