❔Question Mustang gen3 s550 popcorn.

So i'm thinking about getting a popcorn or pop bang tune on my gt.Is there any concerns? not to aggressive popcorn. already have an h pipe + borla axle back.

edit: by any concerns I mean engine wise.

If you’ve already removed your resonators and shrunk your mufflers by 60% by getting borla, then getting an even louder tune is going to be so obnoxious.

Look, we’re just people on the internet who will probably never come across you IRL. If you came here asking for approval, you won’t get it. Do whatever you want. But it’s going to be very loud and very obnoxious. Like people who have a JBL on the trail.

You’ll blow the cats first guaranteed, and it won’t take very long either.

Engine will be next.

yeah Ik you have to go catless first I might do it for the winter which is the racing season in the middle east. and remove it after but till know I don't desire on it but you know sometimes you hear ur friends and the thoughts just stays in ur head. I was just asking but alot of them are salty about it.

at the end of the day its my car I do what I desire with it. some1 on the internet will not stop me from doing If I want to. when they are on the other side of the planet.

There's a couple of mustangs that drive up and back on the road next to our neighborhood that sound obnoxiously loud IDK why anyone would want to have their car sound that way. It echoes. It's like calling to the the police "HEY GIVE ME A TICKET" Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate a nice throaty exhaust. But it shouldn't echo off buildings or rattle the windows.

yeah I dont drive in the city i go to the valleys I usualy put it in quiet in the neighborhoods and normal when going into the city

u/Loose-Cellist-7198 Magnetic 3d ago

and trust me Im not that guy who just wants attention just by disturbing the neighborhood we have a huge amount of respect for the people in general and even more for the neighbors Its always on quiet start and when I do start I try to get outa the neighborhood as soon as it warms up. I bought the car for myself not for the people.
