Roush exhaust. Nothing but over the top noise, and drone. I thought since Roush knows Mustangs so well, that it should work on my truck. I fell for the advertisements as well that said,"NO" drone. It was so bad, I called Roush and even stopped at the speed shop. The guy I talked to on the phone said they never had a complaint about drone. OK, must be my imagination.
Tried a few things to make it livable, but didn't happen. I now run a Borla.

BTW The Roush that came on mine, I have put the OEM resonator on it after having to fight with them at Tasca about it not being on mine from the factory. Still tooooo much drone and I am going Borla

Yes you certainly did ! When I had the OEM style put on, I forgot about the resonator and still had a fair drone at certain speeds (65 mph cruise of course). Because I had put the replacement muffler back just ahead of the axle hump and because of the split tailpipe, there was no room for a typical resonator. I ended up putting a 3" Magna-pack (stainless cased glasspack made by Magna-flow) in FRONT of the main muff. Works great, truck is dead quiet in the cab until you put your foot into it. Of course my 19 YO son thinks I'm a complete dullard now. He even put the Roush muff on his (still technically my) truck - the '05 in my sig. Fortunately with his quad cats, it's not bad.

Not really my mod. They were on the truck when purchased.
Removed chrome door handle covers from all for doors. Much prefer the color matched handles.

EDIT: my post got me thinking so I went out into the garage with a blow dryer and a pry tool and was able to remove my chrome door handle covers and scratch guards really easily (as long as you don't care about re-using them, they're brittle). Underneath was some pretty decent plastic that looks brand new after I hit it with tons of goo-gone to remove the adhesive and then some plastic renew stuff... Took about 10-15 mins a handle X 4
