Do You Want Your Mustang Mach E to Make Sound?

And I suspect there will be some who will be fondly recalling Daisy Dukes.

Daisy Duke.

I was referring to the costume, not the character.

Good lord. I can’t stand the obnoxious idiots thinking they’re so cool with their loud ICE cars now, let alone having to hear this new fake crap. Why do people think loud is cool and appropriate? Narcissism at its best. So no, I would never use it. ?

Haha. I’m an obnoxious idiot now. I like the sound of free-flowing exhaust, and it helps make more power. I don’t race around in my neighborhood scaring little kids and old curmudgeonly people though.

That said, the Dodge fake exhaust sounds like trash.

Sorry Brian, I could have been more respectful with my statement, but just hearing that car in your video proves my point. I have a very low tolerance for unnecessarily loud cars, just for the sake of …loud. I just don’t see how it’s cool or desirable. But good for you and your sick loud exhaust! ?

But hey, enlighten me. Serious question: What is it about driving around in a car like that, being loud in public, do for you? I’ve always wondered what the feeling is?

Yes, I believe Snoop Dogg made reference to it in a song he did with Katy Perry

I have the same question for fake performance parts/badging. Why bother? What does it do for you? Look fast/sound fast is not the same as IS fast.

People care about different things.

Never been a fan of fake badging.

But you could ask the same question about any “imitation” product.

Like our fake leather seats.

And propulsion sounds.

A house nearby has a Charger (I believe) that when he starts it up we can hear it houses away. But it's not a nice V8 rumble, it is what I call "a fart can". Sounds horrible. And then as he drives away, I can't help myself but laugh.

Personal preference I suppose. This is a “Mustang” site, after all, remember that. Many of us have owned/raced very loud Mustangs of all generations, and now, have a Mach E. I don’t put aftermarket exhausts on for their loudness, I do it for power/efficiency, most happen to be louder than factory for sure though. I always run catalytic converters and I hate the sound of the “muffler delete” cars because there’s a difference between a loud exhaust that sounds good/tuned and one that’s just max Db all the time. I absolutely don’t do it to prove anything to anyone. My car only gets truly loud when I get on it.

As a car enthusiast I’ve also seen the OEMs going to louder and louder exhausts over the past decade plus. AMG and Jaguar R branded cars started it and most others have followed. Many now have multiple exhaust modes to quiet things down when necessary. Now, you can even get an Elantra N or Camry TRD with factory exhausts that braaap, pop and bang with the best of them.

Yep, perhaps a poser V6 with muffler deletes. Raspy and awful.

What are fake performance parts? Haha. You mean things like I those little contraptions the import tuner crowd clamps to their tailpipe in an effort to simulate turbo whistling when they aren’t actually turbocharged? ???‍
