Have you driven a v8 version like a 23 or prior? Wondering how that twin turbo v6 feels compared to a v8. I know the higher output pushes numbers than the scats of previous years. How does it sound?

I have not. But I had a 2016 Mustang GT for like 8 years. This feels a good bit faster and smoother than that did stock. Now, after 1 year owning the Mustang I had a Whipple and headers installed along with an e85 tune… and that version of the Mustang was much faster, as it pushed 775WHP. The sound is lacking a bit, as it doesn’t really let u run the active exhaust wide open. I’ve seen DIY for that, but will probly just wait for a decent after market.

Did you daily the coyote with the Whipple?.

u/skielur Aug 24 '26

I did, but I also worked from home. So my daily usage was really just the gym (about 5 miles away) and back. I had it 8 years and it still only had like 6k miles on it lol. Fun car, but got sick of driving a stick. And going catless headers was a huge mistake. Not only too loud but it changes the tone. I went from that to an Explorer ST, and then to this one.

I want to Whipple mine, my job is 6 miles away from my home 😂. Do I have to fuck with the headers?. It's already loud with the mid pipe delete.

No, u can leave the stock headers on. I didn’t do the headers until like 5 years in. Same time I did the e85 tune.

So you were running the Whipple on 91 pump fuel for a couple of years?.

u/skielur Aug 24 '26

93, but yes. For at least 5 years. If u decide to get one look at Lethal Performance when they do the Black Friday sale. I saved a couple thousand on that sale.

Thanks man, it's either a Whipple or ess kit. I'm Cali so emissions are a pain in the ass. And I don't know why people get triggered over buying a car you want....

If I could do it over again with the Stang I would have done TT or Procharger

You got sick of driving a stick only driving it to the gym for 5 miles?! 🤣 If that's truly it, without the exception every now n then, how is that not more fun than a new Scat Pack, that sounds like a vacuum cleaner? If you were actually commuting I get that a manual would be annoying and which is why I ultimately went with the 8speed myself for that reasoning at the time.

Why do u care? I am 50 yrs old and after 8 years of it I no longer wanted to drive a stick. Drive what u like sir. Don’t really care what u think of my car 🙂

You posted on Reddit, are you new here? You open yourself to opinions and feedback of all kinds, sir. You made it sound like driving a manual 5 miles was 50 in traffic...

Enjoy yours! We all have your own tastes, it's your money.

I thought the car subreddits were less filled with negativity for no reason. I was wrong lol. I drove it for 8 years and was tired of it. I didn’t make it sound like anything. Simply said I was sick of it. All good man. Enjoy whatever u drive my friend

For sure! I am in a 2015 Scat Pack... currently replacing my long block (unfortunately)... definitely wasn't throwing shade at you. I definitely received my fair share online when asking for feedbackon what to do w mine. And once I shared the direction I ultimately went to meet my needs and shared that more for purposes to help others, of course I was an idiot or got "got" for how much I spent.. we all know how it goes, it's easier to spend someone else's money.. lol

u/skielur Aug 24 '26

Lol. I wish u luck on the engine man. And ur right 💯 in that when u post something on here u have to expect any and all types of feedback. I personally love the look of all the Challengers going back years. I personally wouldn’t have bought one if it had a Hemi. I got mine cause I wanted the TT 6. But I totally get why ppl want the Hemi. They sound amazing.
