Need More Noise/5Star Tune

lol. That's what the awesome 10's looked like.

Since we have installed a huge amount of header & exhaust combos on many Raptors, I personally have driven many of them with various modified setups. Some with catbacks only, many full header & exhaust combos and a number of them with tunes, either 5-Star or Diablo. A ton of AirAid intakes and a few AFE. So here is my feedback.

A tune is huge!! It's gotta be hands down one of the best modifications you can perform on a Raptor. It will take a standard truck and quickly turn it into a performance machine. First thing you will notice is the transmission will now shift much faster between gears, no more slosh box shifting. The overall throttle response is night and day difference. Just a slight tap of the pedal will make the truck move forward (or backwards if you prefer). The stock tune is universal to make the truck perform at a comfortable level for every user. Adding a tune is for those who want a better acting truck.

Cold Air intake makes good noise, filter out all the dirt and debris much better than any stock filter and again, noticeable feel in performance over the stock component. We obviously support AirAid due to ease of installation, fitment, performance gain and overall quality, but really cannot go wrong with any of them on the market.

Catback is great for muscle truck sounds and will free up some horsepower due the CNC mandrel bends, larger diameter tubing which is one consistent size and it will eliminate the massive OEM muffler in favor of two hi-flow mufflers. With many exit locations and muffler options, you can tailor your truck to sound the way you want it.

Headers are supreme power adders! These will make the front end of the truck jump quickly with response by removing the very small and restrictive cast iron manifolds. Long tube design brings up the torque numbers across the entire RPM range. That means no more waiting for the power to "come in" and making things like towing or hill climbing much easier. Things you do at half throttle are now being completed with 1/4 throttle input.

Just so you're aware.......that post was great.
I think you should make this post into an informational post bc it has pictures and text (always a fan of pictures that show what the text is referring to) It's amazing the things I learn by actually reading about how stuff works (Doh!)

Can you show me a picture of it? I really would love a boost to the performance. Even though its abeast!

Thanks!

Good point. I love that video and the sound! I hear ya! I like to hear the changes. And your display is beautiful...did you do that yourself with the white and black framing??

Actually dont have a pic of current setup but I have some vids I can post later that give u a decent look at it.

If u look at my build thread I have then in there as well if u dont want to wait for me to post them later

I love it. Lots of people comment on how it sounds. The general comment is it sounds nasty(in a good way). It is very loud and it drones a little but not as bad ad my Borla muffler or my magnapack setup. The whole setup def added a noticable amount of power. Hoping to dyno at KHC in the spring to see the difference as i ran it with just CAI, catback and tune. As i told sonoma i will try to post some vids later but if u dont wan to wait I have some vids in my build thread that u r welcome to look at.

Thank you and I will. I'm just curious as to how loud it is. I have stainless works headers with cat delete and x pipe, volant donoldson power core, 5star tune, and twin magna packs dumped before the rear axle and I'm just wondering if it will be annoying or not. I'm driving from northern mi to south Florida 12 days later and want the trip to be enjoyable. So I'm just trying to find something kinda of similar I know it will be different but so far no luck besides your help

Hmm I had stock manifolds with OEM cats no resonator and a magnapack with a ypipe to the stock tips in a lightning style exit before my full SW exhaust. Its much louder now but I think a lot of that is due to the headers. I would say volume wise it will be pretty close but it will have a different sound. Any videos of your current setup?

NicPic83 ur truck sounds awesome. i love how throaty it is and you were right, its great sounding. How is the in cab drone? i do not have any pics yet, it is getting installed next wednesday and ill pick her up on 12/1 when i get back from thanksgiving(finally headed to the warm weather to visit the family) so ill post pics up then, but still deciding on weather to axle dump, 45 behind the rear tires(with custom 5 in tips), or over the axle dump. kinda of considering behind the step, but have true dual lightning on my 1999 f150 and want to mix it up(and did the straight duals and didn't like it). You may have convinced me with your video though.
