Mustang 2008 GT, stock exhaust and intake, everything cleaned, new filters, oils, etc. When I accelerate not aggressively, up to a speed of 50-60 km I hear air being sucked in through the intake and a not too loud howl in the cabin. To hear that characteristic V8 sound I have to rev it to 3000 rpm and more. I wonder how to make it so that I can hear the V8 sound in the cabin during normal driving but at the same time not be too loud for people around me, I'm not really interested in being loud, I would like to hear the engine sound better in the cabin. How to do it?

A Bullitt intake helps a lot, but you need a tune which can be a problem in Europe. I guess K&N has an intake which doesn't need a tune as alternative.

If you are just after sound, any open element intake will add noise. If you don’t want a retune, get an intake that keeps the same diameter MAF housing.

Does the 2008 have the sound tube like the 2010? If not maybe it could be adapted to fit. It’s purpose is to bring engine sound into the cabin.

Not sure the 2008 stock exhaust is different from the 2006, which is what I have, but other than cold start rumble, it's normally not that loud at all....

This. The 2011 5.0L Mustang (and sounds like maybe 2010 for the 4.6L) started using a "sound tube" that was calibrated to bring in engine bay noise to the cabin to enhance the sound from the Coyote. If done right for the 4.6L, it could enhance the cabin sound.
