Had my truck for 5 months before I was sent on a Govt funded trip to the desert for 6 months....wink wink*......I got home last Tuesday, so today the first round of mods start. The truck is having the suspension adjusted to Mid-Perch today...the dealership had never heard of it being done before (Not inspiring much confidence) so it will prolly take a few hours. Slapped my personalized plates on it today to "customize" it, and my Roush CAI and Exhaust are in Washington I believe being shipped up here. Hopefully I will have them within the next few weeks to put them on. Next mod after I save some money will hopefully be a front bumper replacement (ADD Venom Bumper). I will post pics and video for anyone interested. Also a question.....where is the best place to get a spray-in bed-liner here in AK (Anchorage)??? And I thought this truck was perfect as is stock.....damn this forum:happy107:

Welcome to the sickness. You're going to have a hard time getting Line-X in AK. Their dealer search tool isn't providing any official installers within 250 miles of your location.

Don't forget to get some Rigids.

Damn, If I had known, we could have done your front end adjustment at my place. Takes about 2 hours and you wouldn't have had to pay the dealership. Not only would I like to meet another Raptor driver in Anch but would like to shake your hand and thank you for your service.

Roush Exhaust - 2013 Ford Raptor - YouTube

listen to that....mine sounds just like this....as for decibel rating...it will start turning heads around 3K RPM. If you like the V-8 sound...the deep throaty sound...this is the one you want. It sounded better than the Corsca, Flowmaster, Magnaflow, ect...to me anyways...the only Mod that I might have changed...I might have the exhaust come out behind the tire like the stock set up, as opposed to straight back. The straight back could be an issue if you're going up and down hills or large bumps effectively grounding out the back bumper. For me this was the exhaust I wanted, and it was money well spent. And the CAI actually improved my MPG slightly...1.2ish MPG! I purposely downshift on the highway now...they will hear it! Eat that prius owners:flipthebird:

If you buy it directly from Roush it costs 650 with free shipping. If you go here http://www.summitracing.com/search/.../engine-size/6-2l-379/brand/roush-performance
it is $50 cheaper, and I am not sure on the shipping.....I like in AK, so I was screwed either way since Roush doesnt ship to AK. Shipping for me SUCKED!:893MrT-thumb:
