Wonder is a good exhaust will help the sound?

I've watched the vids and really don't dig that v6 sound. I wonder if an aftermarket exhaust will help? Anyone know the redline? If it revs high enough, good sound might be avalible. But if it's low reving, I have my doubts.

I honestly wish they would have used a V8. That flat crank 5.2L V8 would sound amazing in a Raptor. Maybe a 2018 option? (Wishful thinking on my part.) This great body design screams V8!

Will no V8 stop anyone from buying a gen 2 Raptor? I doubt it, but it might. Can anyone explain why they went with a V6?

Torque, this a heavy truck, that 5.2 v8 has less torque than the outgoing 6.2. They weren't about to make it less powerful for sound. To get over 500lbs of torque in the 5.2 it would likely need forced induction, you've then got an engine that only works for the raptor and specialty mustang. R&D costs don't justify the market opportunity

Looks like redline is around 6200.

Just turn up the radio...problem solved.

Not likely. It will just amplify the already unpleasant sound.

I am selling some exhaust whistles, anyone want one?

it won't, probably the one time i'd actually suggest staying stock or trying to tone it down. the 3.5L is a solid platform, but no exhaust in the world could make it sound right. i trie on my FX4, always sounded like crap at WOT, idle wasn't horrible, but also wasn't a very clean sound.

Easy Fix

If you want the best sound go Gen 1

If you want the best performance and technology go Gen 2

The End
