Both sound crazy-sexy. They are both great for different reasons so I can see why someone would want either one. What I liked is the look of the metal after your track day. Going from the usual metal color to the blue/purple is pretty sick.

Like any good X-pipe, the Switchfire makes it sound like you are revving higher than you actually are. Admittedly, the sound is more extreme than the average X-pipe, as well. Either way sounds very good, but I do really like the overrunning sounds on deceleration with the Switchfire. An additional 8hp is worth considering, as well...!

Sounds pretty good, but with the x pipe I got to say I like the stock mufflers on mine, just a deeper sound to me. Good video though

How about drone at highway speeds comparisons. I do want the X-pipe but not if you can't hear yourself think while driving at a constant speed whether town or open freeway. My car is a 2015 with stock res and a Ford Performance 2015-2917 Mustang GT 5.0 mufflers and no drone. Just an intake mod is about it so far. I saw another video where he had active exhaust and always had it on track mode. It was hard to hear him talking over the drone with this Borla Switchfire X-pipe. So I am not sure if the stock muffler on his car made that big of a difference between the lowest and the highest mode sound. I think your comparisons were great too. American Muscle does not have any sound videos of this aftermarket piece so far that I know of. Birthday in August so would make myself a nice gift and very easy to install too! Thanks for doing the work.

Thank you I appreciate the comment ! Quiet mode is super quiet when the engine is warm and you're not WOT you can't even use the engine sound to shift, I use it on phone calls when the sound quality isnt great. Normal mode is quieter than the 2014 gt I had with an aftermarket axle back magnaflow (street version so not very loud). Sport mode is almost the same on the highway with speed maintaining throttle but if you go up a hill or just any kind of throttle is pretty loud. Track mode is loud all around, great to pass cars when they are left lane driving 😂 the 2015 wouldn't be active exhaust then so having no control on the magic valves it would be quite a bit louder especially when cold !

Good question I haven't had the chance to hear a borla regular xpipe ! 1 year later and am still enjoying the switchfire a lot !

New 2022 Mach1 HP owner here. Im thinking about my Active Exhaust options to comply with racetracks that have noise restrictions. One of the options Im considering is replacing the stock resonator with two Vibrant Ultra Quiet resonator bottles. Other option is keeping stock resonator and trying to fit regular Vibrant resonators behind it. Other option is an H-pipe combined with ultraquiet vibrants. Last option is magnaflow mufflered x-pipe for all-in-one is another Although I love the stock sound, I want to avoid getting kicked out of HPDE events when I use the Mach1 at W.O.T. Ive read that some M1 HP owners just pulled the AE fuse while the engine is running in AE quiet or normal mode, before pitting out on the track. Any suggestions?

There's a curve on one of the connectors, and the other one is straight so I don't think it would fit. Also the crossover part is thicker so when you install it like recommended it protrudes towards the drive shaft. Installed upside down would reduce your ground clearance !

The mach 1 is actually extremely efficient when it comes to drivetrain. Steeda reported 15% percent loss on the 10r80 from the engines to the wheels so the manual is more likely to be around 11-12%. That being said 477whp with 11% loss would be 536 at the crank which seems a little generous indeed. The dyno is more for the before/after difference than the actual number !
