Exhaust!?

[Ruri]

No video. I think it's impossible to get the true sound of an exhaust from a video. All the videos of the Type s I've heard only capture 50% of the sound at best. This is the same for other exhausts and cars I've heard.

Picked up my 2018 Crew Blue Lightning on Friday. Saturday installed the Borla ATAK. A few observations in the first 72 hours. Nice sound at idle. Nice sound at cold start. However, I must say, being an avid V8 guy and a Borla or nothing fan, this exhaust has some serious bark. When you hit it, I hope you have understanding neighbors! As my wife said, "You are going to get in so much trouble!" Anyhow, just a word of caution; expect the totally unexpected when you hit the gas on this system. It barks loud and people will know you are coming. Sounds nothing like a V8, but if you like the sound of a nicely tuned, foreign sports car, this is for you. WOWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

So how does the ATAK compare to the S Type? I'm assuming the ATAK is louder...and in the videos I've seen it sounds loud, but I don't think the videos do them justice at all. Is it loud at normal take off? Or just when you get on it?

The ATAK System has a nice start up and growl to it on idle. However, when you step on the thing, it BARKS. Almost like a high pitched tone to a point of you hope you have kind neighbors. I like the system. Ford really should have done something from the jump with the exhaust, but I know they are trying to help out the after market guys!

I think Ford was protecting the consumer and those in proximity of this truck by offering what they did. It is interesting that many are going back stock.

Quite frankly, this is the fourth Raptor I have owned. The first one was a 2010, 5.4 with a Borla Touring on it. Nice sound, but too quite. The second one was a 2013, American Racing Headers, Borla ATAK and K&N Cold Air, nicest sounding vehicle I have owned. The third was a 2017 I totally left stock, way too quiet! This one has the ATAK on it and it sounds a bit strange in WOT, the truck does sound nice enough on idle to keep the Borla on it. However, when Ford comes back with the Eco-Beast V-8 someday, this one will be sold so I can keep my ear/nose and throat doctor in business by going in and asking why I am losing my hearing. Stay thirsty my friends!

Ford performance

So it says on the Ford performance website that the exhaust is made by Borla. That being said, are they the same thing?

 

[Mcnawsty]

Yes, BUT ahead of the exhaust is where FP is different.

Could you please be more specific.
