What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

[downforce137]

today... extended rear brake lines, and flushed all the brake fluid with Motul RBF600 ..

Im not super happy with this, as it looks like it they might touch the driveshaft under compression.. i dont really have a way to bump it out, so i guess i'll keep eyes on it.. steel braided with kevlar should be ok for some driveshaft rubs though, and close to 5 inches away at ride height... also, i ziptied them together after these pics.. prob bend the axle side bracket up a bit more too...

Gotta fix that exhaust hanger tomorrow and then break it again this weekend

Get to know me better, you will realize I am a bigger a-hole than first thought.

I was told they would need my truck for a week, diagnose, get the repairs approved by the ford extended warranty and I said **** that, I'll do it myself. I ordered the parts needed for the repair and I'll hopefully do it this weekend.

No doubt, best decision of the day ! More, best decison of the month !

I notice you made your own "delete end pipe"(clearence exhaust) I know there is the KHC , but not cheap and you can't put the spare tire , so I need to go to something like you bc I really don't like the OEM dual exhaust end look ... What about noise and smell of smoke in your case ?

It's a bit louder, especially in the back seat.. cutting and welding was required to flip the pipes over and then sawed them off after I put the muffler back on. I changed to a corsa resonator delete for a bit more sound.. it's not crazy loud and I don't notice any smells..

Sound would be my biggest concern, don't want it to drone.

i dont think its very droney, but its def louder.

but also my gen1 had longtubes, and a MBRP dump exhaust..i consider that pretty loud but also not obnoxious

How long of a brake line did you go with? I installed a +2 and hope that's enough.
