I think I've read most of the posts here on exhausts sounds for the 2017's, and I'm new to the forums so this is probably in the wrong spot. I recently moved from a decked out/supercharged 2014 Raptor that was totaled by someone, thanks random guy in AL, to a new 2017 Raptor. I added the 5 star tune, and installed the Borla X Pipe/Muffler bolt in, as there isn't much else to do right now with these. The low RPM's sound good, decent low growl.. daily/highway driving sound is good, but hard acceleration or with the Perf 5 star tune (so its high RPM in the neighborhood) definitely is fast and furious. Yes its a V-6, but I'm switching back to stock this week unfortunately. So for any of those debating it, I'd leave it stock until you hear one in person.

As a FYI, the 5 star Tune does wake the turbo's up. Daily driving they barely spin up until its tuned, so its a nice perf improvement, and it sounds cool. Good luck

However, imo the g2 does everything else better so I'll sacrifice one category to have the better newer truck.

The V8 is coming much sooner than that. Folks buying these ecoboosts will be mad when they see what will be available. I promise you that it doesn't have intercooler condensate induced misfires or cam phaser rattles.
