bonehead Report post Posted October 21, 2013 Why would you want something that damn loud?? And I would ask you, good sir, why would you NOT want something that loud? Honestly, it just fits the character of the car. Loud Civics and 4 door sedans are stupid. This is a muscular American two door V8. The stock can was fit for a soccer mom car. Best part is it's loud when you want it to be. Peddling along under 2500-3000 rpms and it's fairly tame, almost stock-like. Anything above that and it's game on Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stock exhaust was to quiet, straight pipes were way too loud so I settled on the svt muffler. The car in the video is just retarded loud.

The car in the video is just retarded loud. By SVT, I assume you are referring to the Ford Racing muffler. II test drove a car with that setup and it's barely louder than stock. Good for a little 'oomph', but I wouldn't have been happy with that. I did tinker with the idea of long tubes into the FRPP muffler, but even that may have been too tame. So, I went full 'retard' and just got these:) Mind you, I'm not an 16 year old boy racer. I'm a 41 yo professional with a wife and 2 kids......hmmmm....probably why I need to act like an 18 y.o......

Coincidently, so am I. The difference being my fgt was a daily driver so it was important for me to be able to be comfortable and be able to use a phone while driving. Regardless, to each his own, it's a fantastic car, loud or quiet and I consider myself lucky for having owned one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, to each his own, it's a fantastic car, loud or quiet and I consider myself lucky for having owned one. That's certainly a different story. Unfortunately, I bought mine about 8 months ago, right in the middle of the most recent price hike. I'm not wealthy enough to DD a car that expensive. If I was able to afford one 3-4 years ago, that may have been possible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonehead Report post Posted January 12, 2014 First outing with my new HERO3+. Wide screen format is pretty cool. Sound is a bit better (I think), but still need an external mic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprite Report post Posted January 12, 2014 That's what mine sounded like. I had the Ford Racing Headers -> Accufab X-Pipe. It was so loud if you were standing behind it when it was revved up your ears would start ringing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonehead Report post Posted February 26, 2014 Footage I took with the mic ghetto-taped to the rear bumper, camera on driver's side glass, cable originally taped to clamshell but quickly flapping freely in the wind (which is why I keep looking into my side view mirror to make sure it's still there). Now I just need a semi-permanent way of securing the cable/mic near the exhaust and allowing me to mount the camera anywhere else on the car.

el_chorizo Report post Posted February 27, 2014 There are pro's and con's to having a loud car. Pro: It sounds bad ass. Con: You are afraid to floor it because cops in a 5 mile radius can hear it and pinpoint you easily. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Con: You are afraid to floor it because cops in a 5 mile radius can hear it and pinpoint you easily. True. But as you can see from my video, I live in the MIDDLE OF FU*KING NOWHERE. So, I'm not too concerned Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonehead Report post Posted February 27, 2014 Teasing - wanted to see if you'd bite. Some people (inexplicably) don't like it. Doors are cool but a pain in the ass, it's low, it's wide, it gets terrible gas mileage. But I still love it and will never sell it:) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA_Brit Report post Posted February 27, 2014 It's a cool car. Mine is headed to Roush aka Mountune tomorrow - have an issue with a relay and the secondary pump or the 02 sensors. It's far too wide for London but the car is such an event every time i use it that i do enjoy having it. I think i've only done about 500 odd miles if that so far. It's not like my old LP560 as in i used to drive that every day etc for the first 2 years, it's a true exotic that is to be enjoyed on the weekends. I'll be doing a road trip in it in August to the South of France, that'll be awesome. I am considering selling it for a CGT but i am not sure - the FGT is just as much fun, just as good looking and half the price to own and around 80% cheaper to maintain so can't really see the point.

Because of AWE straight pipes Either way, the FGT is an awesome car, brute force V8 with manual tranny. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
