^ Well, I did a quick dirty job with my 1st gen GoPro and captured a couple of vids for ya. The sound quality isn't the greatest but hopefully they help a little...
Idling, stop/start:
2014 Ford Raptor 6.2L Magnaflow catback idle - YouTube
Taking off at a light, mild acceleration:
2014...
Gotta remember that exhaust sound is a very SUBJECTIVE matter; one person is going to think that the drone level is "excessive" while another is going to say it is minimal.
It's my experience that Magnaflow's straight through muffler design limits the drone very well. Your typical chambered...
^ Looks good. I ordered a set of PDPs awhile back, still gotta install 'em. I like the subtle look of the "Raptor" wording in black on those flaps btw...
Saw a blue flame w/ 4 lights in the front grille somewhere out along the I-96 corridor near Grand Rapids late in the morning and then a black one with a cap on its bed later this afternoon in the same area.
t_j & rsike - Thanks for the replies, I really appreciate it. :)
Did either of you guys need to run an "extreme" drop hitch to keep the trailer level or would my existing 2" drop hitch work OK (running the factory suspension here) ? Thx again!
That certainly sucks but hopefully the company will hold up their end of the deal and cover your damages.
Could you imagine if you saw REALLY big rocks getting tossed through your windshield at speed? We had this incident on the freeway out here this past week - ouch!
VIDEO: Truck loses...
Since this seems to be one of the longer running trailer/towing threads in here, I'll ask:
Anyone with a Raptor have a Haulmark V-Nose (or Edge model) 7x12 or 7x14 tandem axle "Low Hauler" motorcycle trailer or towed one before (pros/cons)?
Thinking about picking up a used "Low Hauler" for...
^ LOL That's funny because Ford used to actually have the whole "certification" thing around many years ago for their SVT products to a certain extent before that program slowly faded away.
Does this ONLY happen with the A/C on? If not, I was thinking along the lines of a poor seal between the window/door frame (weatherstripping?).
G'luck isolating the sound, maybe have someone else drive it (at speed) while you sit in the passenger seat and try to better localize where the...
It might, but I'd give some vinegar a try first. Clay is good stuff and it might help as well. We don't suffer from hard water here so water spots haven't been an issue.
Used a claybar on the front end to get rid of the nasty bug residue splatter and applied a little Turtle Wax "Ice" synthetic paste polish to help protect the paint.
^ You tried contacting that "Crystal" person on here yet? I have read about her offering to help other owners on the message board with service department/dealership issues, etc.
Ouch. :( That's certainly one of the downfalls of parking in the street - it never fails, blue hairs and drunk drivers like to hit parked cars for some reason.
Do you know the model (part number) of Magnaflow muffler that your exhaust shop welded in?
Magnaflow mufflers do tend to get a little "louder" over time so you may want to run with it for awhile (IIRC it has to do with the material inside of the mufflers, italian rock wool).
Some folks just...
How many quarts did your "oil guy" add to the engine when he performed your oil change btw? Did he ever mention the amount or have it typed/written on the invoice from his shop?
