Getting my first Raptor, need some advice on performance add ons

Well said �� As well a lot of the things for sale are not specific for the raptor. As we have seen the delay on AFE cold air intakes and majority of the intakes available as of now are for the F-150 more so the new gen 2 raptor. Exhaust wise I haven't seen much but would say the SW down pipe on stock exhaust sounds great. I have a borla type s on mine and it's aggressive when you step down on it. You want low key then this is not the system for you it's fairly loud on full throttle.

Sage makes a good point. Get used to it stock before tinkering with it too much. Take advantage of Raptor Assault and then make up your mind.

Raptor 3.5 stuff is just starting to hit the streets. I think we just saw the first downpipes released, and there are a few performance tuning type products out, but I don’t think there’s a full tune out yet.

RE the exhaust. I like the truck, it’s great, but be careful with exhaust. The motor doesn’t sound brilliant as it is. There have been a couple users here who’ve done exhaust and been less than happy. Stainless works has put out multiple sound clips of their downpipes / exhaust combos. We’re not going to make this thing sound like a v8, because it’s not.

check out the gen 2 3.5 engine subforum for more info.
