Think the interval from 8:00 PM to 7:00 AM or something like that.Īctive exhaust is only one of the many additions of the world’s most popular pony car for the 2018 MY. A novelty brought forward by Ford, however, is that the owner can program quiet start-up times in advance. Quiet exhaust modes have been around for quite a while now, and what Ford did with the 2018 Mustang GT is nothing short of clever marketing. I know what you’re thinking right now, and you’re right.

“With quiet start activated, the decibel level of the new Mustang GT drops by about 10 decibels, to a much more comfortable 72 decibels – about the level of a household dishwasher,” he concluded. “When sounds get up into the upper-70-decibel range, that’s typically about when they start to bother people,” commented Matt Flis, who's line of work is exhaust development. Models fitted with the standard 4-inch instrument screen can do so in the settings menu, whereas those who opt for the 12-inch digital instrument cluster can enter the menu by pushing the pony-branded button on the steering wheel. For the 2018 Mustang GT (the one with the Coyote V8) and optional active exhaust system, owners can set up their car in Quiet Mode fairly easy.
