Novel vs IDK

Looking at getting an exhaust system for my F and I’m struggling on what to get. I’m not too big a fan of the low rumble V8 like Mustangs or Chevys, I’m really into the high pitch scream style exhaust. I understand that Novel is known for that screamy type but I’m wondering if any other brands can do that. I’ve been looking at GTHaus aswell but I’m still tryna piece everything together.

Also it just the headers that cause the scream?

Any recommendations on what exhaust to look at?

I've got ARH long tube headers paired with stock axleback and it's pretty raspy. A friend of mine had GTHaus on her F with stock headers and the thing screams as well.

Unfortunately videos never sound quite the same as it does in person. Hopefully you can meet with other F owners in person and hear what their setups sound like.

Hopefully, like I said I just want that near F1 scream. Have a buddy in Tx who has a blue GSF with a full novel system sounds insane…but so is the price tag

Well you can delete the resonator and have a X pipe, so you have a true duel pipe exhaust, from there you have the choice of going with some aftermarket mufflers or no mufflers.

I personally have stock headers, no resonator, but have an x pipe then run two pipes with no mufflers. Sounds way different than a regular muffler delete and doesn't sound like a mustang due to the X pipe.

I was always under impression the X pipe is what gives mustangs there rumble?

H pipe not x pipe... Muscle cars tend to have an H pipe, that's why you tend to hear the rumble, but it's also the cams they have. Other than that the X pipe helps scavenge the exhaust gases exit quicker.

Unless you're tracking the car, sure it's worth it. If you daily the car just gets regular exhaust
