personally I dont like electric fans because of the noise....
You can hear electric fans over your engine? What exhaust are you running?
The thing I like about electric fans are: Less parasitic losses (can help up to 10hp, improve fuel economy) Speed of fan is not dependent on engine speed. Runs when you need it and not when you don't.... for example, after the engine is shutoff, but not when cruising down the highway.
Of course, all this is only a benefit when you run only the electric fans.
on THIS car , I dont know ,esp since after I removed that pusher fan I changed to 2.5" pipes and two flowmasters 40, no transverse... but you certainly can hear the electric fans after you step out and engine is turned off...
on my OLD car , a Fiberglass Austin Healey Replica, with Ford 302 I had only puller electric fan ,and yes I could hear it...not sure what muffler was on it ,since I bought it assembled...but it wasn`t quiet!

,sure...but if you have 300 hp and if you are not racing...those UP TO 10 hp are not very noticeable...nor is fuel economy improvement very noticeable if you get 12 mpg to start with...lol
BUT the 5F I lost by removing the pusher fan was noticeable , esp if you were running at 225F as I was...now at 200F (after also adding one missing rubber filler and the two X fillers)it all helps
