Pure Sound: 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis w/ Borla Cat-Back Dual Exhaust - Before & After Comparison

[@marman36]

i got a 1998 grand marquis from my grandpa when he passed away. they are strong cars.

[@redfire281GT]

Let's not forget the 4.6 2v is virtually indestructible

[@computerboy9766]

Redfire 281 Well these engines are based on ones from mustangs, and these sedans were also used in the police force so they had to be.

[@cassius969]

So is the Opel 1.0 ecotec. A long running engine is not impressive anymore. What does a car in is clutch suspension etc. eventually.

[@josephvela4584]

Police used the 4v not 2v

[@bobg3221]

Joseph Vela ha ha lol they used the 2v for a year then ford came out with the 3v not 4 2003 crown Vic was a 3v I have a 98 2v thank god 2002 was the last year for 2v 4.6l 2003 and up to 2011 was 3v 4.6l making 305hp when my 4.6l 281 makes 225hp so no disrespect just trying to give a little information

[@DirtyDanMunicipalMan]

@@bobg3221 The Crown Victoria never had the 3 valve or 4 valve 4.6L. The only panther platform car that got the 4 valve was the Mercury Marauder which was only available in 2003-2004. All Crown Vic's police or civilian only came with the 4.6L 2 valve engine. In the early 2000's Ford did consider putting the 4 valve in the P71 cars, but it never came to fruition. The 2 Valve 4.6L was kept for its reliability and its cost effectiveness.

[@israelballew4155]

Wow, huge difference. It sounds so much better. Its not overbearing either, just nice and subtle.

For a 13year old car that is absolutely mint condition. Even the underside is spotless.

[@ubertube5308]

Pure sound : Boeing 747 w/ borla exhaust ?

[@richzilla08]

With headers.

[@pdid44569]

They can land it on Farmington Dragway

[@talenclip]

+Patrick Dow XD😂😂😂

[@NWLAutowerks]

pure sound: ninja blender with upgraded blades

[@aapddd]

Boeing 707 would be much better. It's the best sounding jet.

[@thurstonhowelliii8721]

I'm gonna buy me a Mercury and cruise it up and down the road

[@blackpanther04ltc91]

Great Idea

[@TheNightrunner666]

First song I ever played in the car after I bought one

[@agencyheadquartersdc4568]

i never thought i would ever own one of this but i got 2005 and with my new job i have big plans for it

[@IntelligentHorseworldofrandom]

Poppa sure does love that sound! Sounds more aggressive! What a remarkable difference!

[@displayfireworks1]

Great video, I have a 2003 Grand Marquis Ultimate just like this one, I also have a 2011 Crown Victoria. I always wondered how they would sound with this type of exhaust. I'll leave mine factory exhaust. When I was younger I wanted my hair long and my car noisy. Now I want short hair and quiet car. LOL I hope grand daddy happy with that noise.

[@greenman7yyy]

This video took preparation, patience and performance. Thank you

[@peyn]

Man that really makes that car sound 100x better

[@DUNEATV]

Great vehicles! Very reliable and built well!

[@OjStudios]

It sounds more V8 and lotta beefier, not too loud either. Nice job!

[@olley7692]

Awesome video again, happy birthday to you grandfather on his day!!🎉🎉

[@darrellyelity3648]

93 years old and still driving that's amazing.

[@sammyshak67]

This is amazing! Hope your grandfather had a wonderful time driving it!

[@shawncarson8131]

This had to have come with the 2.73 final drive. Crazy when the car almost hits 100 in second gear.

[@dutchdettweiler]

I dont care what year it is, American cars never died, they just got discontinued. These cars are time machines and a joy

[@UnitedRecording]

During the making of this film, 10 starters were used. lol

[@saabkyle04]

Lol, hey, you do what you have to do to properly capture the sound from every angle to give you the best idea of what it sounds like without being there in person.

[@ifaris9]

What is the name of Tires

[@ifaris9]

What type of infidelity

[@tomearnshaw3498]

There's probably more wear on the starter trying to start a car every morning with a flat battery than the car firing straight up a dozen times like in the video I suspect the first reason is the death of many starter motors.

[@hotrodmercury3941]

It uses coils but ok

[@itscarlosg233]

No matter what exhaust you have, they all sound good!

[@tommyw5280]

With the Borla it definitely sounds more like a P71. Excellent!

[@TheNightrunner666]

Super 10s from Flowmaster hit harder

[@TGV1337]

People who dont hear the difference must be deaf.

[@saabkyle04]

That's what I'm saying, it doesn't make sense haha.

[@AZDESERT2024]

People think they are hearing the actual exhaust, when what they are listening to is their iPad/phone speaker.

[@WarriorOfEden3033]

Nothing compares to in person

[@cammiller1]

Now it's definitely the ultimate addition

[@Lukasdw02]

Hey Kyle, I'm still loving the pure sound videos. Awesome car, awesome sound. I love the way it sounds when it starts up and it sounds way better with the Borla exhaust. Also, will you be having another in depth tour of this car? Anyways, take care, Kyle! Don't forget, you're awesome!

[@dieholdendie]

gday Saabkyle04, That is definitely the best exhaust video comparison I've seen These Marquis video's are the first of yours I've watched, now subscribed. What a great grandson! Your Papa is cool too. That exhaust suits that style of car perfectly, you wouldn't want anything louder with that car. Those cars are sort of like our Australian Ford Fairlanes that were made until 2007.

[@saabkyle04]

Thanks so much!!

[@curtisburrell8122]

Just bought an 06’ 45k loaded. Drover it home from California…. What a ride !! And comfort. Easily cruises at 100 and smooth. Will this system work for mine?

[@adamjones7176]

slow down

[@thisisantonymous]

Man I like the painted tires, very old school, Im sure your grandfather loved em

[@OLDS98]

Thank you for sharing Kyle. Your really dressed up and fixed up your grandfather's car. You can see and hear the difference. I wonder how does a 2003 Mercury Marauder compare. The Grand Marquis had a lot of features for the money.

[@ExarchusDivision]

Man, that dash is brutal.

[@Sam26LE]

I love Grand Marquis

[@hcs4life21]

The Triton V8 paired with a Borla exhaust sounds incredible!

[@TheDonkyPuncher]

it's not a triton

[@istinklikebutt45]

+Kelf Ruston you think Fomoco made a non Triton 4.6 for this car?

[@hcs4life21]

+Kelf Ruston It's a Triton! The same engine Ford put in their F-series trucks. The same engine put in the Crown Vics. The same engine dropped in the Mustangs. I know it when I hear it and it's *definitely* a Triton V8.

[@dangus69420]

+Jacob Adkins it's without a doubt the 4.6 modular v8. tritons were 5.4 and bigger

[@TheDonkyPuncher]

It definitely isn't. it's a 4.6, but it was never referred to as a triton in the panther cars.

[@Kool2087]

Sounds good. What name brand tires are those? I really want a set of white walls for my Grand Marquis & I'm having a hard time finding some.

[@MikeyMike0954]

So a h pipe n pipes that are 2.25" with mufflers right? I'm planning to do a custom 2.5 catback with x pipe and borla pro can mufflers on my MGM

[@ahmadalsafi2638]

Great car special for travel long distance thanks bro flowing you from iraq

[@robertbaratheon9289]

I like this exhaust set-up. I'm not a fan of loud exhaust systems, but this one is nice. It's unobtrusive at idle and sounds great under acceleration.

[@Mahaney82]

Borla makes the quietest exhausts ever.

[@traffictimes7609]

This video is very in depth. The best Borla Crown Victoria dual cat back comparison. Compared to factory LX exhaust

[@Dan79nc]

I know poppa loves hearing that thing start up in the carport!

[@saabkyle04]

Oh yeah!

[@Dan79nc]

+Saabkyle04 thanks for responding, not to many youtubers reply back. keep the videos coming!

[@saabkyle04]

Will do pal!

[@MCatwar]

the aftermarket exhaust just sounds deeper and not much louder than the stock. everything is about the same except the pitch. I'm not sure if that's just because the microphone doesn't pick it up well or what. is the difference big in person?

[@hcs4life21]

It'll sound louder when on the road. When it's idling like that, you hear nothing but a subtle burble.

[@saabkyle04]

Huge, too many others on youtube are so quick to judge and criticize here. The camera doesn't pick up the depth of the sound. With a proper set of computer speakers, the difference becomes even more noticeable. In person is always the best.

[@hcs4life21]

+Saabkyle04 Just a thought: Consider taking a look at Intechdude300's channel and find out how he edits and tunes his videos. I don't know if it's the equipment he has or the software he uses to edit his videos but each one of them sounds like you're actually in the car yourself as opposed to the subtle muffled sound so many KZbinr's have. You're able to hear the exhaust much better, even on a good set of speakers.

[@jamesfrench7299]

Wow. Chalk and cheese. This is how it should have come from the factory!It doesn't just sound like it means business, it has more of that V8 character and sound healthier.Good work.

[@talenclip]

Hello Saab Kyle 04 and fans hope you guys are having a wonderful day

[@100thomasmagnum]

I wanna get me one of these gems for my next beater car. And i will say, that borla exhaust is the biggest "non improvement" i have ever heard.

[@flud78]

A little off topic but what's your opinion on the Porsche Cayenne turbo S (04-08)? I've been thinking about trying to get one but a little worried about maintenance costs and reliability. Any chance you could review one soon?

[@Mandurath]

After watching the other install video, your grandfather is a cool guy. Bit surprised he didn't get a Marauder when they came out instead of a Grand Marquis. Still sounds nice though with the new exhaust. Only a bit louder, but alot better tone and rumble to it. Think headers would help it sound a bit better, but alot more involved.

[@geremi140]

what was the time difference on the track between the borla and stock exhaust?

[@MrBigisBack87]

That tire chirp though!! Grandpa leaving everyone in the dust.

[@joseehernandezhernandez5459]

What exhaust is the Borla if I want to buy just the muffler I really liked yours.

[@BigTv8power]

I heard after the glass pack brakes in, the exhaust gets louder. Has that happened on the Grand Marquis? I like the Borla Touring muffler, but am worried after a year it will get too loud.

[@ChronicEye]

Shouldn't be too loud

[@Pigeonbutter8790]

Good stuff Kyle! Always a quality video

[@danyalovenko]

Love the sound with closed doors. I would like you to do this in all videos.

[@caalcb7]

All these comments said it wasn't much different. But hey it's for his grandpa and he doesn't need that loud exhaust that can make the journey uncomfortable because the noise get inside the cabin too much. what he want is dual exhaust with noted change of noise.

[@saabkyle04]

People are so quick to criticize it's funny.

[@mr.mostwanted6389]

This is beautiful car.

[@stevenharman1835]

Is this system legal for California cars? I have taken over my folks 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis LS Ultimate Edition and have done some visual modifications to it such as installing the Marauder Grill and Head Lamps and a tiny lip spoiler on the trunk. Having that exhaust system would be perfect for it. It currently is the single exhaust version.

[@saabkyle04]

It should be, but I'd double check. It's just a cat-back so it doesn't alter with emissions.

[@usamasaid2860]

hey master kyle it does gain so any power whit that exaust change or just the sound? btw sounds amazing my father has the 97 model and still in great shape!

[@saabkyle04]

Maybe a little, but you won't notice the difference. For me, it's all about the sound, not really in it for performance gains. That's awesome man, take care of them and they'll last forever!

[@usamasaid2860]

You're sure about that btw try put hid 6000k on that Car it looks luxury and improve the distance view and wont bother other drivers i dont know if there are illegal or not on your state but here in Venezuela its Like at no law country hehehe

[@shawncarson8131]

+Usama Said HID's are worthless in anything but projectors that were designed to hold them. All you're doing is blinding people if you put them inside of factory halogen housings. Way too much uncontrolled light and glare with a horrible beam pattern.

[@johnnyturbo8460]

Ill tell you what, great before and after video brother, very in depth. How much louder is it in person then on this video if any? I just bought a 2004 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor and I'm looking for exhaust .

[@ChronicEye]

I bought this exact exhaust in may cold starts you can hear it sounds almost moderate then quiets down alittle takes a while to break in it's a mild grumble acceleration performance wise big difference. It's a mild idle moderate grumble system imo, installed on 07 p71

It depends on the model and the way it was ordered.

Does it still have the factory catalytic converters?

[@acelakid94]

Sounds really good. Just the right amount of low and mid frequency sounds, but the high end sounds a little muffled. I guess only a younger guy would prefer that additional sound. Was that wide open throttle down the track?

Awesome video and thanks for the link to the exhaust package. Is it cheaper to buy yourself and have a shop install, or have the shop buy and install as one package?

[@GarbageSean]

Hey Kyle, great pure sound video here! Love that drag race takeoff with the borla exhaust! Sounds amazing! I know it's the V8, but how many liters is it?Now, I have a special request for you. I know that this isn't about a high-performance automobile, but this is an exception to that. I'm not sure if you can do it, but here it goes. Can you please do a Pure Sound video on a tuned 2007 Mack Granite dump truck? Let me tell you a little about it: it has a Mack E7 427 HP diesel engine, Allison 4500 HD automatic, and has been tuned up quite a bit. I don't think it has a muffler on it. The turbo has been spooled up so it spools up really fast, like when you do a drag race takeoff! It's from a company called Red Hawk Construction in NC. And this beast has a real mean sounding jake brake! You might have to call and talk to Red Hawk about getting the truck for the day, but please do a Pure Sound video of that truck! Remember, when you do the drag race takeoffs, make sure you do one with the camera at the start of the drag strip, so I can hear that mean Mack E7 screaming as it goes down the drag strip! And remember to use the jake brake when slowing down! I know you might need a CDL for this, but please give it your best shot. I think it would be really cool to hear a heavy duty truck like that Mack going down the drags at Farmington Dragway! Please let me know ASAP.

put an intake on it it will wake up the v8 a lot. great car by the way my dad had a 2000 model with 527k miles when he sold it. original engine trans.

[@NonoNonaa]

the stock intake is better than any CAI, the best thing you can do for these cars is get some better heads and cams

[@djstuski]

heads and cam, is gonna run you $2000+, them might swell get a super charger and make it a drag car. the point of intake for under $300, is to improve the response and it will sound great. Its a luxury car not a mustang.

[@NonoNonaa]

Stas Samusev an aftermarket cold air intake does NOTHING. THE CAR ALREADY HAS A COLD AIR INTAKE.THE RESPONSE YOU FEEL IS THE PLACEBO EFFECT.

[@TheJared1445]

+ChuckleFuckleBee I have to agree with you but in the winter it will take forever like almost double the time to warm up. the factory airbox warms the air. I have a 91 Camry 2.5L v6 and swapped to basically a ram air and it doesn't do much it added like 1 horsepower. I got more power from cleaning the throttle body

[@NonoNonaa]

Jared Ostler The factory airbox draws air from behind the headlamp, which makes sense that it would warm the air in winter. Modern engines aren't limited by air intake. they're mostly limited by the heads and cams. The only way to really improve power is via forced induction, or to get a more aggressive cam and freer flowing heads.
