"Shawn a I are both nd quality engineers; he's Mustang and I'm Shelby GT500:M Each model has its own signature sound -its own DNA. r j s to shape the sounds the car produces to match the image of the vehicle. It's part of the whole experience:'- Tom Teknos, H Technical Specialist, SVT

"The new cold-air induction system took away some

of the powerful sounds you expect when driving a

Mustang. My solution was to tune and then pipe the

intake sound directly into the cockpit. It makes for

a visceral experience that goes beyond anything

we've done before:' - Shawn

"One of the most fun parts of the job is tuning the

exhaust system. It's not just reducing the noise, but

shaping the noise signature to elicit an emotional

response. So when you tip into the throttle and the

car accelerates, you feel a rush:' - Tom

"I have this job in large part because I'm an

enthusiast. There's nothing like the Mustang sound ­

it's so distinctive. It's really cool to me that now

this' is my baby, it's my responsibility to carryon

that tradition:' - Shawn
