Joe Oliver Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Hi, Can anyone tell me if the 401a package in a GT Premium, automatic with a 401a package includes the Active Valve Performance Exhaust? When I go to the vehicle order tracking system website and enter the VIN I see the Window Sticker link and a list of links below, one of which is "Model Information" then "Packages" followed by a number of other links one of which is "401a." When I click this link I see the following: Package Highlights Active Valve Performance Exhaust System with Quad 10-speed SelectShift® Automatic Transmission 5.0L Ti-VCT V8 Is the Active Valve Performance Exhaust included? Thanks for any information you can provide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 You can find these answers yourself in the order guides - look under More Applications->Order Guides. The Active Valve exhaust is optional on both 400a and 401a GT Premiums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Oliver Posted December 8, 2018 Author Share Posted December 8, 2018 Thanks akirby. I did see that but the wording on the webpage I cited is misleading as written so I was just trying to see which was the actual case. Thanks for letting me know.

akirby Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 The website is frequently wrong, unfortunately. The order guide is much more accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucelinc Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Window stickers are sometimes misleading, too. Here is the part of my window sticker. It shows the 401A package with only 3 things. There is much more to it than that....things like the digital dash, heated steering wheel, SYNC connect/Fordpass, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Oliver Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share Posted December 10, 2018 Thanks! I ended up not ordering that option. Nobody's ever complained about the sound of the exhaust in the morning with my 2009. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say that it is among my favorite things about my car. I haven't heard anyone yet say that they didn't love it. The stock exhaust on the 2018+ models does sound pretty good, though.

Joe Oliver Posted December 14, 2018 Author Share Posted December 14, 2018 I hear you. If I could’ve found the car with that option along with the 3.55, 401a, and a few others I would’ve taken it. As it turned out, I had to order the car and when it came to actually adding in the options, I decided not to. I’ll have to live without.

The standard exhaust sounds really good...better than the earlier models. Glad you ordered the 401a package. The configurable instrument cluster is another of my favorite features.
