**** poor exhaust tone/sound

MBRP is what I'd probably go with it's what I have on my 4 wheeler http://youtu.be/J4ccwmh1HxA

headers with 4 smaller pipes would make it sound better but what's the point, it's still a v6 just go quiet.

Actually headers are a no go.. this is a twin turbo with manifolds that have the turbo integrated. Headers are only for a NA V6 like on the mustang. Apples and Oranges. With The Turbos the Downpipe is the part you want to replace for the added power

HA HA... Well you did take it out of context since you ignored the second part. When hitting the bang switch big impact little noise is the motto

A while back everyone was saying they were buying the new Raptors and didn't give two hoots about the sound. Is all the new exhaust talk about changing the sound to be more like a V8, or is it for increased performance? Just trying to get my head around the sudden influx of exhaust jibber jabber. It's a true dual, 3" exhaust right? How do you improve upon that? I can see a less restrictive muffler, maybe, but the rest of this 'sound' stuff just doesn't compute......

My main goal is for tone improvement, any performance gain is just a bonus. The only caveat to the tone improvement is that I should not lose HP. HP remaining equivalent to stock is fine by me. After all, the truck is not a racer, but it should touch that happy bone when I turn it on.

Guys have been getting 450+ HP out of the 6.2L for years at a lot less cost.



And the sound is just what it needs to be.



The 10 speed tranny is the only thing giving that little V6 any numbers.

I sure would like to know what gear Ford used to put up the numbers.

I bet you put the 10 speed in a first Gen and it will do 0-60 in 2.7 seconds

I believe they used 5th gear as it's closest 1:1..per Hennessy. Take that for what it's worth.

I was just BS ing, the advertised HP is 450 and that is BHP (aka FWHP) what it puts down to the ground is another story. Dyno results will come and with what gear, that is going to be interesting.

All this talk about changing the way the new Gen2's sound. I just don't get it. A while back everyone was saying they were buying the new Raptors and didn't give two hoots about the sound.

It would appear the crawfishing has begun!!

I loved the sound of my GTR Exhaust, I wouldn't mind my raptor sounding like it..

Curious if a exhaust company will try and make one sound close to a GTR..

Raptor will be on this list...
