Modifying the exhaust is a great way to improve your sound and performance. Here’s what you should know about cat-back and axle-back exhausts.

It’s true that the EcoBoost Mustang can’t be made to sound like a GT. But with an aftermarket exhaust kit, you can get improved tone and volume from your car. Plus, a cat-back system will unleash more power from your EcoBoost engine.

Single vs dual exhaust is an age-old debate when it comes to upgrading from your factory exhaust. You may already have a single exhaust and are thinking about converting to a dual exhaust system. Perhaps you may just want to keep your single exhaust setup but still upgrade to a better aftermarket exhaust for added performance benefits. Whether you are looking to update your current exhaust setup or looking at vehicles to purchase, there are pros and cons to both single and dual exhausts.

As of 2019, Active Valve Performance Exhaust is an option for all Mustangs, including the EcoBoost. Ford’s active exhaust includes some great features, like “Quiet Start” that have become popular not only with Mustang enthusiasts but also with their neighbors. Active exhaust is also available through a number of aftermarket options.
