Never heard of it. Is it Dodges attempt from 2 yrs ago or a new model?

There is a little hope. Listen at 3:20

Sounds kind of mild for the super car price it will probably command. Needs to sound a lot meaner than that.

And I'd hate a truck that sounds like some Infiniti G35 driven by little gang banger.

So which after market co is going to jump into the "'17" Raptor with a real V8 engine conversion?

You can't make me like the sound of a 6. I'd think I was driving rice eater....

What a complete disappointment for me. I get it that the new eco-boost technology has some great numbers and performance.. Absolutely no doubt. However, It all boils down to presentation for me. You cannot beat the sound of the 6.2l engine. IMHO.. I have surfed over many a youtube video on exhaust set ups and far and away the 6.2l was the most aggressive and cool sounding of all trucks.. I have headers and borla exhaust on mine because of it. That sound is just the ultimate finish to an ultimate truck.. It really makes the truck. Simply put........ It is the final piece of the Bad ass dream truck . A sound that matches the performance and has put smiles on truck enthusiasts every time you step on the gas. I know mine does... Just utter happiness.

Having said that,, The eco-boost exhaust is the most god awful sound I have ever heard. To me, it sounds like a diesel or a hopped up John Deere lawnmower. Even with aftermarket exhaust added. It still sounds like crap and for the life of me cannot see myself being happy with that. The new Raptor is a nice looking truck for the most part, but I can't wrap myself around the thought of pulling up somewhere with something so badass sounding so lame ass. It just doesn't seem right.

The raptor has become an icon that has shaped a generation with its tough looks and sound. And now it seems that is gone, disappointing truck guys everywhere. You just can't beat the sound of a V8 and goes hand in hand with the Raptor... or any F-150 for that matter. I will never own an Eco boost.
not trying to call anyone out on your opinions but........

I hear ya. I'm in the same boat. Exhaust note, while not a deal breaker is still big deal...
