Orf Posted October 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Thanks for the sound on both cars. My question for both Ruf and Orf is this...Is there any exhaust "Drone" at the 1800- 2200 rpm range when in normal driving mode ? My son-inlaw has a 05GT vert and wants an aftermarket sys but is afraid of the dreaded drone. I was wondering myself for the GT500. Thanks , George... For that trip to meet the guys, I drove 7 1/2 hours each way (505miles). About 75% Interstates, 25% back roads. At various times, I had the cruise set on 65, 75, and 85. I had no drone whatsoever.

RUFDRAFT Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 No drone. Most people say they like the sound. Some young guys want more noise, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUFDRAFT Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 You've bought more than exhaust? I'd suggest some therapy. I happen to know someone very very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey ruf, I was going to go with magnaflows for my 07 Shelby but since I heard your GT with the Bassanis, they sound louder than stock but not harsh like the Corsas, and the tipps are also nicer. I don't know what they would sound like on the Shelby. Love what you did on the ride height, the car looks great, how much did you lower the car and what brand of springs did you use. Oh by the way I didn't hear the rug hit the ground but I heard the thong hum like a powerline in a hurricane. svtkeith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68fastback Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 I'm not posting a picture of all of it for fear the room may turn pink!! ok, no pink, I promise I won't ruf, re ordering parts in advance... Hey, svtbird (my bro and best buddy* <lol>), if you do a stangs-unleashed search on Corsa, Evil Chris had tried three brands before deciding on the Corsas -- he was also very concerned about 1500-2200 drone and said there was none. He also posted audio clips of the Corsas and at least one other -- all on his GT. ( *ok, yeah, I'm brown-nosin' <lol> ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUFDRAFT Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Hey, Dan - I trust you're keeping the showgirls happy out there. (I'm very - very eager to hear your response to riding/driving in SVT's Shelby, Dan) Yeah - I got a kick out of Bill buying parts before the car! He's making me feel somewhat normal. (somewhat?) "Hey ruf, I was going to go with magnaflows for my 07 Shelby but since I heard your GT with the Bassanis, they sound louder than stock but not harsh like the Corsas, and the tipps are also nicer.

Exhaust sounds are as subjective as rims are. I like how you like my Bassanis - but I'd also like you to hear them on a Shelby first. I bought the springs through Ford Racing (Eibachs) - they lowered the car 1.5". I'll ignore the thong comment - but won't forget it! I may change the rear springs in an attempt to even out the ride height - it's still a little nose heavy. I'd like an even height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68fastback Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 name='RUFDRAFT' date='Oct 30 2006, 07:03 PM' post='54345']Hey, Dan - I trust you're keeping the showgirls happy out there. <lol> actually I haven't been to a casino yet this trip -- not much of a gambler, but we usually do a tour of a few to take in some shights or a show. NHRA was awesome Sunday!!! Force went out in the second round but Capps went out first so she's 70-someting points up going into Pomona -- yeah, John. I talked to one of his daughters a little (not Ashley) -- sweet kid -- she drives a little dragster ...has her own autograph card/promo sheet. My son-in-law had never been to an NHRA event before -- the fuelers blew him away!!! He's thought he wouldn't need earplugs until the first run damn near blew his eardrums out <lol> so I had to take him to the pit betw rounds. After they rebuild, the fire it up while still on jacks (no prob), then they blip the throttle to make check things, and then your brain just oozes out of two holes that just got punched in your head!!! That blew him away! Needless to say, all of Force's teams had people 30-deep, even while the round was still on -- amazing... everyone seems to love Force and Schumacker Jr. Perfect weather and a great day ... Height set a new track speed record the night before 333, I think, but broke the next day. Schumacker was going for an ET record - came close, but couldn't break 4.46, not that that's too shabby <lol> A great day! . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUFDRAFT Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 I've Got to get to a Big Show in '07. It's been too long. I've heard a lot of engines throughout the years - but nothing - and I mean nothing - even comes close to a Nitro Rail/Funny Car. (I haven't heard the Shuttle on launch!) Words can't describe the sounds. It's borderline on apocolyptic. And the smell of nitro - nothing better! Really glad y'all had a blast. I have to admit, at my age, I don't think - no - that's wrong. I KNOW I no longer have the gonads to climb in one of those and give it a ride! My time for that - has passed. However, if you see me in your mirrors in the black car - tighten up your belts! Cause the Rufstang is coming to a stoplight near you, soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUFDRAFT Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Bill, Bill, Bill....apparently you've been spending too much time taking inventory on your ever-increasing parts lot for your inbound Shelby. You'll feel much better if you come clean and let us know what you've got lined up for the car. Tune? Accessories? Tell us, Bill - or I'll fuel up the Harrier and do a solo op.

It would be much easier to just gather up and do some cruising. How about this? http://www.gaylordhotels.com/gaylordopryland/ Significant others would have shopping op's to die for. Food?

Are those pix shown of a GT500 (tranny looks narrow for some reason)? Dan Those pics were "E" mailed to me by SSW the other day. The car in the pics I believe is the GT500. The long tubes are $999. and from there back is $995. There is a choise of a 3" muffler with 3" inside straisht thru ("very agressive sound ") or a 3" muffler with 2-1/2" inside straight thru. The HP gains are in the 1-7/8 long tube primaries to a 3" collector and the 3" x pipe/high flow cats mainly. I think I will opt for the 2-1/2" muffler for noise considerations. I'm waiting for some feedback from someone who has this system on their car. Maybe the trannie looks smaller because the pipes are so large. As far as the wheels are concerned I heard that Shelby has a new design comming out just for the 07 GT500. Thats what I was hoping would be unvailed at the show. Have a great time at the show today.

Next time we meet - we need to do some action video. Lots of possibilities. And your packaging shows your attention to detail - very professional. You Rock, my man.
