Oh man, "Turbo Coffee!"
What a concept!

I guess there's all kinds of things we could "turbo":
- Be the first on your block to own a Turbo Toilet. Your neighbors will envy your ability to overpressure the sewer system!
- Turbo Beer - It'll spin your head!
- The Turbo Garbage Disposal! (Ceiling protection included at no extra charge.)

OK, you take my point. A "turbo muffler" is STMB.*

installed the stainless works full system. headers and full exhaust with turbo mufflers. i have a lift and you definately need it. took about 7 hours. instructions are pretty good. sounds awesome. have a airaid intake. drove it about 3 miles and the check engine lite came on. hooked up my scanner and found 2 catalytic converter inefficiency codes. also 2 oxygen sensor codes. cleared the codes. they came back in about 10 miles. dont know if i will need the tune to clear it up or not. truck runs a little rough at idle. guess i will contact the manufacturer in the morning. see what they say. they have installed them on other raptors. anyone else have a issue.

I have the 5.4. Installed the full SW system 1 year ago. I made my own CAI and draw my intake air from the SVT vent on the side of the vehicle... I have no rough idle. It took about 15k miles for the CEL to come on. Expected since the new high flow cats do not get as hot as the stock ones. I installed the 5star SCT tuner and the light now comes on intermittently...

yeah did not expect a cel lite on. rechecked my install a few times. nothing left off. did extend the o2 sensor wire on the rear o2 sensor. but on my scanner it is reading. havent read on any posts where anyone else has had this problem. but i am going to contact stainless works.

guess i should have went to the stainless works website first.. they explain exactly what is happening with my truck. they explain the codes i have and the fix is definately the tune, seems the high flow cats freak out the rear oxygen sensors. so the tune disables them. and the front is too slow to heat up. so guess i am off to the tuning store. kind of thought i would do it anyway. so i guess sooner than later. i must say this system does sound awesome. it is a true work of art. but a real challenge to install.

How loud is it in the cab? Is it annoying at any level? Can you talk on the phone? Did you do headers too in 7 hours?!

it is kind of loud. with the windows up it is not bad. but it does drone some. yes you can talk on the phone. it is definately louder than stock. it took me and one of my employees 7 hours. now this was at my auto repair shop with all the equipment needed. as in a lift. a variety of sockets and wrenches. dont think i would try this in my driveway. the stock manifold bolts are a mother. and you have to jack up the motor. take off the right motor mount, and starter. i pulled the front driveshat. made it easier. but the room to work is very limited. the front shock towers are in the way alot. but the benefits out weight the work to put them on. it just sounds awesome and the quality is top notch. but in my case i do need the tune. as i stated in earlier posts. good luck. if i did not have the facility i would have sought out someone to install for me.

Drone bugs me. I really like the exhaust in my GTR, it has a bypass valve with remote. I wish someone would do that with the Raptor.

beemerman....who did you get the system through, did you order directly from Stainless works or from one of the vendors on here?
