Why?
Why are mustangs so much louder than camaros? I have long tubes and full 3 inch exhaust with off road pipes, so my car isn't quiet by no means, but I feel like I always see mustangs that are louder than my car with just an exhaust and stock manifolds? What gives?

Op, you cant generalize like that. It all really depends on exhaust set up. There are way too many combos to make such a broad statement. With the right parts both can aound just as loud and good.

DOHC is my vote for why mustangs sound like they do.
