The stock exhaust on the new S650 Mustang GT is quiet, overly tame, and leaves way too much on the table. The MBRP Aluminized Steel 3" Race Cat-Back with Dual Split Rear Exit fixes that fast. Designed for guys who don’t care about “quiet comfort” and just want raw sound and improved flow, this system gives your 5.0L the aggressive tone it should’ve had from the factory.
This isn’t a mid-tier touring system—it’s MBRP’s Race Series, which means you’re getting a no-resonator, straight-through setup with full 3-inch mandrel-bent tubing. Compared to stock, it offers significantly less backpressure, better throttle response, and an exhaust note that actually does the Coyote justice.
