2018 Ford Mustang GT Active Exhaust Mode Comparison & Explanation 💨 

for anybody here that is actually considering getting this car, i got mine yesterday with the active exhaust option. and let me tell you that none of the videos on youtube actually do the sound justice. i spent like 3 weeks watching videos over and over again, waiting for my stang to arrive, and it was still louder than i expected. the cold start makes my house shake LITTERALLY. fantastic car, couldnt be more happy

I told my brother not to get this on his 18 GT. He got it. Today we went through the different modes and I’m in disbelief how amazing, loud and deep this exhaust is. My 16GT with muffler delete and magnaflow X pipe sounds quieter than the 18 in normal mode. So basically it’s time for an exhaust change for my car lol. Anyone debating getting this exhaust, trust me it is 100% worth the upgrade from factory

A couple of my neighbors are actually ok with my loud exhaust they know when I leave it's time for them to get up for work, a mustang alarm clock....

Cool! Sounds good!

A loudness meter lol

That is impressive. Can't wait to get mine and hear it live.

Quiet mode: 4:34 Normal mode: 3:58 Sport mode: 5:23 Track mode: 5:58 Thank me later :)

Thanks Stephanie, this video helped my bride decide that the active exhaust had to be on her '18 GT.

Just bought a 2019 Mustang GT with all the premium package after having an import (2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8) and my goodness never looking back, hands down the best investment I have ever made. When you downshift with the rev match, heads turn and it puts a smile on your face every time. Just ordered a Borla S-Type Stinger Cat-back exhaust w/active exhaust. Video coming soon!

Wow so cool all that tech also nice burnout steph

I get the "active exhaust" provides you with 4 modes: quiet, normal, sport, track". What if I don't opt for this? Would my (only) exhaust mode be "sport"? How loud is the volume, compared to the 4 modes found in AE?

Sport & Track Modes sound exactly the same to the human ear, but did notice an audible difference between Quiet & Normal. Ford did a great job on the exhaust system from factory, really only needs a resonator delete kit for most Mustang owners who want more volume.

Great video. How does this compare decibel wise to a Borla ATAK or the Corsa touring/ extreme CAT backs?

Great comparison video.

good neighbor mood? But I want them to hear me when i get home...That is the point of a mustang

Damn Stephanie has come a long way since team grabber-boost 🔥🔥

so if i have active exhaust options on my mustang gt premium go with the corsa active exhaust kit?? Cancel Comment format_bold format_italic format_strikethrough format_clear

Where does the base exhaust (without active exhaust) fall in this mix?

Hmm the spoiler delete on the Performance Pack is growing on me. Maybe I can live without it but I also love PP1 spoiler. I can't decide if it'll be a deal breaker for me when I go look at one. It has all the options (active exhaust, 401A, manual) I want besides that. Does the Mustang look better with or without the Performance Pack spoiler?

Is there any plans for an aftermarket version on this active exhaust for older Mustangs?

She looks great and sounds great. Same for the Stang!

Borla ATAK 3'' cats !! best sounding IMO....!! Great video Steph...! Cant wait to see the 2018's Mod's ...

what about muffler valve rattling problem like many new Camaro´s suffer ? normal mode is much to quiet and i´m sure in europe they decrease all that another step :-(

is it true both the base and premium models have active exhaust? I'd hate to spend more on a premium if all it has is the crappy nav and switches.

What you're comparing is the maximum possible loudness in each mode. And although that may be interesting in its own right, it's not exactly relevant to most real life situations. I mean, if I'm going to rev the hell out of the engine, then I'll probably be on a highway, where I couldn't care less about the noise because I won't be disturbing anyone. What I'd really like to know is how loud each mode is at idle, and how loud each mode is while crawling on a driveway at 15 mph in second gear. I'd like to know just how obnoxious I would be to my neighbours if I used one mode or another. Would I really annoy all my neighbours if I used the sport mode instead of quiet when leaving home? Obviously I would if I slammed hard on the loud pedal, but what if I didn't? Would the difference between the various modes still be as pronounced?

Considering the fact it's all stock exhaust system and yet it sounds great. so what i did was deleted my resonator only the rest is stock and made it sounds great and louder even more so

Can we get a video with active exhaust + resonator delete/x-pipe??

Really good information, keep these coming!

Is this the standard GT or is this the performance pack?

Still don't like how my right elbow hits the cupholder when driving stickshift.

Do u automatically get this with the digital dash

Are the active exhaust and exhaust modes only available on the GT's that have the 12 in display and the 301 interior package? Are the active exhaust and exhaust modes available on the base 2018 mustang GT?

2015 stock gt is quieter than Quiet Mode. With roush axle-backs it sounds like Track Mode but with more rasp

So do you prefer sport mode/track mode over the character and tone of one of the higher-end brands like Borla or Flowmaster? Follow up question; how do you feel about guys that you can be proud to take home to your mom? Feel free to answer either or both.

Well I have the active exhaust I can't believe the decibels are so close but the actual tone or pitch of the exhaust sound is so different track really does sound a significant amount louder than sport mode and quiet mode really does feel like just driving a normal quiet car the decibels may be close but the tone of the exhaust and the way it hits your ear makes a huge difference

Super cute, I like your outfit 😍

a solid 6

Muito foda esse mustang top the best

Might be late for a comment, but with quiet mode, how quiet is quiet, as not good with decimals 😆 so the question is, as for my type of work I can get called out 1am or 3am would I disturb my neighbours

Awesome video great burnout beautiful host

Attractive, inked AND drives like a pro? Car's cool too.

Wait this video was about the new mustang? Didn’t noticed...😏😏😏

Muscle looks huge

Could I put a non active exhaust system on my mustang if it came with active?

The exhaust is awesome. Why is this car "speed limited"? I guess a tuner can remove the limit.

Sound intensity doubles for every +3 on the dBA scale. So increasing the noise by 11dBA is nearly 4 times as loud.

Is she using denim or paint?🤔

Idk who looks better Stephanie or that race red Mustang lol

How does active exhaust compare to the non active stock exhaust sound?

I wonder how the mustang passed California regulations since the default mode can only be 95dB in default mode and this said 100 in quiet mode

Since many race tracks here in Sweden has a 95db limit, I seriously hope it's possible to run the car in track mode but with quiet on the mufflers.

Nice! Great burn! Cute boots!

If i bought the mustang without the active exhaust , what mode will it be on ?

Save money just have your local muffler shop take out your arrestors in the exhaust system. I did. Sounds awesome and no expensive purchase for new exhaust.

she's gorgeous 😍😋

Them Jeggings Tho...

Where does a base exhaust fall in the list?

Spin a bearing red lining in neutral

Awesome video/review. Thanks for posting.

Seems as if it had more torque in the quiet mode. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I have been working hard and I am tired lol.

Does the active exhaust need time to break in?

A loudness meter? lol

Why not get another valved exhaust, then wire it up to the ECU so it will be controlled by the car?

Is it me or normal mode sounds the best. Not raspy just clean and crisp.

She spent 5 seconds showing us how the modes are changed from the steering wheel. Slow down, girl. She did give us a history and detailed explanation of the active exhaust.

How long does all that crap work before it breaks?

How Can I Get my C6 too Sound Something like THAT !!!

Nice video, I would like too see Dyno numbers between the 4 different mods, hint hint.

Next up, the quietness meter.

I'm hearing voices in my head.

Idc to much about the exhaust valves I’m still going to swap the exhaust anyways

Next put the mic inside the exhaust and check how much??

I thought I clicked this video for Mustang?!

Omg loved it, i was paying really close attention and thinking about 🤔 and thought to my self man i need a chick like her!

Oh cool like the 2008 corvettes and 2012 Camaros?

Who's here because of seeing Bruce Wayne adjusting the exhaust sound on Gotham Season 4 Episode 9???

Normal is not normal!

Looking fine in them there blue jeans mmmm

So would this be illegal in cali since its louders than 93 dbs💀 freaking California

Love the Catfish front end, paying homage to the 98-02 f-body Camaros..lol

The active exhaust feature is a waste of money. I just bought a 2018 GT without the performance package and believe me, the exhaust is loud but not loud enough to disturb your neighbors. Besides, who in their right mind would reve the engine or floor it out of the garage. I just ease out of my garage and coast in when I get home and no one can hear me leave nor arrive.

Cute girl 😍

she is cute af ngl

where's the glassroof? forget it

Sounds to me like Normal mode is good enough. Sport and Track weren't that impressive.

Steph is one smoking hot sharp lady!

the normal mode is louder than my kia lmao😞

Dude..This is a 3-minute video!

These years later I still wonder how she got into those tight jeans.

wouldn't mind modifying her exhaust

Normal mode is illegal here...

I thinkk... She is cute 😂😂

Not loud enough.

the first thing i would do with an active exhoust is replace it with no cats no mufflers an electic cutouts an diffanty i mean diffanty shave the door handles an windshield wippers has to go

That is not a good reading

#thighgap

All that is an intro...wow

forget the car....look at those jeans! Yum

10 db is "roughly" twice the difference to your ears.

I did not like the video
