[QUOTE="ZaneMasterX, post: 892810, member: 14823"] I have no idea why any car manufacturer would think its ok to pipe in fake engine noise, it makes zero sense. I really hope someone figures out a decent work around for the fake noise other than pulling fuses. Better yet Ford should have an option in the radio settings to turn the fake engine noise off. I have listened to a bunch of EBs on youtube with upgraded exhaust and there are some that sound OK. I didnt say great because most still have a raspy, tuner/euro sound to it which isnt ideal on a truck like the Raptor. I think if some manufacturers got a little more aggressive with the exhaust they could get some good throaty noises that would go well with the next Gen Raptor. My 5.2 Jeep didnt have any engine notes or exhaust notes when it was stock. You actually couldnt tell it apart from the straight six because it was so tame. Once I put on a custom Kolak 3" high flow cat, flowmaster 50 series, and 3" mandrel bent pipe to a 4" angle cut tip it gave it a great deep tone that it needed. It drones a bit on the highway but its a trail rig now so it doesnt matter. If Ford or some other exhaust company got a little more aggressive and opened it up I think the EB could sound decent. I say decent because it wont sound as good or authentic like a v8 but I think it could get better than what it is now. [/QUOTE]
