I have active exhaust and it wasn’t too much from factory as an upgrade. If you’re going to keep stock exhaust I think active is great but me personally, once I get in the car I hit that horse and straight to track mode lmfao! But this is good for people who want a lower sounding exhaust when need as it has a few options to choose from! Great video for those looking
There’s a pretty big difference in person I think. I’ve driven and been in both and it’s a pretty noticeable difference. Hard to tell the actual differences on video it does not do it justice.
@@rafael502 Dave is right. If you can, go compare at dealer. They sound about the same when active is in normal mode, some say one is a bit louder than the other but you can still tell the difference as the active system equipped vehicle seems it has something more to offer, it is more pronounced and clear. Then, sport and track mode ups the bass and it gets deeper. I wouldn’t say way louder, it makes the surrounding shake, kind of when a lion makes that deep sound they make. It vibrates everything around by the bass. Without active exhaust, well…it is consistent and normal. Personally I’d say take one with the system, it is something that might come useful not to mention wanting to install one in a stock one is close to impossible and expensive.
The active is louder. Look how much closer he was to the blue one on the individual tests, and they sounded like they were the same volume. When he did the initial startup at the beginning of the video, the yellow one is clearly louder.
Wrong, both exhausts are different inside and out. While the regular stock exhaust is more chambered, the factory active exhaust in track mode seems to open up more of a straight through flowing path giving the exhaust a better sound. This is coming from experience, I owned a 2018 gt with regular exhaust and now a 2020 with active exhaust. The difference is hughe in person
@@talal2b6I mean I think this video alone shows that. Active sounds stronger and beefier especially in track mode. Stock without active sounds weak tin can-ish
@@edwin9210 no it is not, they are different inside. The difference is not only the valve but the chambers that help make the track mode louder than the stock non active exhaust. The active in track mode sounds deeper than the non active. Does this mean I would pay extra for the active? Probably not; however, I recently bought mine with that option at a lower price than one without active exhaust🤷♂️. I have a garage so it is nice to start it in quiet mode and not wake up everyone in the house
@@edwin9210 you’ll see the biggest difference when you compare both with an x pipe resonator delete. I have had both, a 2018 gt without active exhaust and it sounded way different stock and then with the x pipe. Now I have a 2020 gt with active exhaust and gonna be doing the x pipe install tomorrow and will let you know, but so far, according to the videos I have watched, it sounds totally different with the active exhaust and the x
@@eduy17 I never touch exhaust system in the cars I’ve owned, I am just not built for that. Even sport mode is more than enough for me. Let me know on the difference with x-pipe.
Active is just a bit louder but the whole point isn't to see who's louder. It's about being able to change the sound volume.

Thank you for doing this comparison
Yellow one seems louder
Because it is. Normal mode with active exhaust is a bit louder while all options above normal will be louder than a stock GT exhaust obv.
Your a God send! Exactly the video I needed to know I DONT need active exhaust.

@@ojaks6896 Would you recommened the active? And does it increase the bass sound? or how would you describe the differences?

Is it worth active exhaust if I’m just getting a borla?
Non active has more of a Classy high performance sound.
cope
I’m thinking of active exhaust with h pipe and cat delete 😮💨😮💨
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Definitely louder and deeper/throatier with the Active Exhaust
Is it worth it to buy active exhaust?
Should be no difference in sound when active valve is fully open, the same as no valve

@@eduy17 okay that’s cool
@@RandyPalmer88 naaah your cool lol
@@eduy17is the active one much louder than the non active one ?

Is the active the same exhaust but with a valve?
Yes. It has flaps inside the tips

@@eduy17 thank you for the added information. I always thought it was same but with valves on it.
