Wounder if we could make the Raptor sound more like GT40

None, the GTs heads are different, different cams, and MUCH shorter exhaust.

Compare a stock SBC to a SBC with heads and cam and tell me the sound difference.

True, it all starts at the motor. That GT motor is a lot higher revving to I believe. It’s making another 200HP, so many internals are quite different I’m sure. Ford can’t just be boosting the hell out of it and expect it to live a long life.

Buyers probably put on less than a few thousand miles a year, and probably don't "race" them. It's not like they are going to have to warranty a million vehicles. Repairs/warranty is built into the price tag. The few guys that go blow something up, will get it repaired under warranty.

What do these muffler tips look like?

They look like cigars, hand rolled on the thighs of Cuban virgins.

Not a GT40 sound but I like how this exhaust sounds it has a mild roar specially when off roading which makes driving much more fun.

And I do run SPD Dp's and AFE intake.

Completely custom? No sound clips of it?

Yes after the down pipe.

I hope this helps but it does not do the exhaust justice.

I installed some QTP electric exhaust cutouts between the stock resonator and the muffler and can actuate them with a small remote. You can change the tone by opening and closing the butterfly valves. My favorite position is 3 seconds from closed but you can hear the tone change as you open them. Sounds bad ass and the best part is I can close them when I‘m done messing around. I would not want to drive on the freeway at 70 mph because you would hear too much drone at lower rpm. You open them up when you want to drive not cruise. I really think this is the best of both worlds. I have heard to many stories of people removing their aftermarket exhaust systems and understand why when just cruising with them.

it took my muffler guy about 30 minutes to cut and install on the rack. I took care of the electrical.

Does it sound like a V8 no! Does it sound like a kick ass V6 yes! Especially when tuned.

Ok, when I get back home I’ll pull one off the computer and post it.
