The only R with an spd trombone has SPD downpipes as well - theres sound clips on my IG of the oem trombone and another set of clips with the SPD trombone Ill link.
Downpipes with OEM trombone
Downpipes with SPD Trombone
Correct!
From everything ive noticed (havent touched a dyno in 6 months) yes, its sound only.
The downpipes will add performance and we do have a few sets in stock that will ship out whenever youre ready!
First batch thats not mine or the set on the test R ships next week, nobody has it yet but there...
Lift? Nobody lifts their raptor. Doing a level/perch/springs is a very common modification to add 1-2.5” of front height and 0-1.5” of rear height to increase height tl clear tires without overly changing ride quality the way a lift kit would.
Howdy there and welcome to the Raptor life! I recommend you start by giving this a read:

For starters, deciding if you want to modify the back or not and if you want to go ahead...
It levels out pretty well, Ill try to dig up some pics for you but we’ve had plenty of customers run this exact set up. Its quite popular and we have some eClik kits in stock too!
Whatre you looking to learn on the Wilwood kit? I was one of the first to have the Raptor specific kit on the market and the first gen 3 to have them on a truck for testing purposes.
Its a solid kit, 6 piston with a few different rotor options. Pads are the standard high ceramic pads that...
The top hats will provide less pre-load as the top hats a combination of a top spacer with minor pre-load.
The eibachs will provide a higher spring rate which will result in a slightly stiffer ride. Its not crazy, some people would say its “sportier” which some enjoy it and some dont...
The Raptor platform has so many options. Bumpers, lighting for the a pillars or bumper, wheels, suspension such as springs or top hats, exhaust, brakes.
These are some of the most versatile trucks with a large aftermarket out there. Kind of wild the options we have. Depending how you use the...
The top hats were designed with the idea of maintaining an oem spring rate which is what the eClik algorithm likes the best. Typically we recommend our customers builds going with a top hat set up if theres known intention of upgrading to eClik.
We have no knowledge of warranty claims being denied utilizing these tunes. We’ve had our gen 2 on it for probably 50-60k miles now with an extended warranty with no issues including phasers. My gen 2 ran it and went in for warranty once and I reflashed stock the night before.
The “safest” for...
Yes thats alpha cats and trombone for the gen 3.
Ford wont unlock the raptor, we’re at the mercy of cobb or sct or someone else to do it. 21-22s are currently tunable.
If youd like the alpha cats, or trombone or both shoot me a message and id be glad to help you out.
Not sure who would say the exhaust would get way louder, I have the only one on an ecoboost in the country and one just got installed on an R by Sterling Wild West. Nobody else has one yet as the first batch isnt shipping for another 2-3 weeks.
Its no louder than with just downpipes, its just a...
Tube bending brother, they only have so many benders and tons of platforms to work on. Gotta work in stages lol.
We’re still anticipating current orders placed go out in August.
Hey Brother, shoot me a message and I can help you out. As Nick said Im with Apollo Optics and have since separated from Hammer Performance. Im located in San Antonio and have a few shops in your area im partnered with that would be able to help with install.
Thanks man! Super nice review and thats sad to hear about the K&N set up. I cant say ive seen that out of my own or customer set ups and be sure to let them know as feedbacks well appreciated. Ill also inform SPD about the issue you had as well so it can be checked better in the future.
As for...
Kyle has a gen 2 with a trombone, hx muffler and spd downpipes, my truck has spd downpipes and the improved trombone and they still sound different. Mines a bit deeper of a tone in normal mode,
