It definitely does not have the sound of a 6.2... or any v-8 for that matter. To each their own though.

You know why it doesn't sound like a V8??? It isn't... Glad you are intelligent enough to point that out. Don't you have a hole to drill in someone's intercooler?

I think that look is people rolling their eyes as they wonder why a Baja truck sounds like a Honda Accord with the muffler cut off.

Having your post liked by Sasquatch speaks volumes around here

Regardless, Ford has a TON of work to do in regard to the sound of these small engines. Sadly, dodge has done a good job with the V6 exhaust in the charger/challenger. There is a trick to this that Ford has not figured out.

If you add the wing to the rear of the truck, it lessens the "noise" you are referring to.

There are people experiencing drone with the borla system. Ford performance and Corsa I haven't heard any complaints yet. I'm holding off on a system until I know for sure. Downpipes only for a bit.

I installed the Corsa muffler and like the sound. I haven't heard the Borla system in person, but it sounded really raspy to me in the videos where the Corsa exhaust does not. The Corsa S is moderately louder than stock with a nicer note, but nothing extreme enough to upset wives or neighbors. I can't wait to hear a Borla in person.

The atak is crazy loud definetly something to consider, if you rev the engine you will be pulled over. I work in law enforcement , i would say as long as you are not reving at a light you will be ok but if you start opening up the engine you will have sime trouble. Honestly if i had knows how loud the atak was i would have went with the s type. The atak sounds as good as our old 6.2 harley davidson f150. The v8 nonsense had been put to bed with borla and their exhaust solutions.



Interesting you say "if I had known...", because I feel BORLA did an excellent job with their videos of each version to give us a very good comparison. When I heard the ATAK, I said "no way". But your testimony will help others who don't trust that demo video; Thank You.

Why do you keep going back to the v6 vs v8 argument? I dont care what you think.

It's not an argument. It's strictly a fact. A V6 will never sound as good as a V8.

And don't post nonsense on the internet if you don't want people to comment on it. :flipthebird:

You know it's weird because today i was driving and did not find it as loud, maybe it's just the intial comparison with the stock muffler. I took a video I will post it up later today. I will definetly drive with the Atak the entire summer and then make a decision. You guys can chime in when i post the video

yeah, small perfect **** will never be as fat as big ****.

Saying a V6 will never sound as good as a V8 is so subjective it hurts to think about it.

Your opinion means only what value you give it. I couldn't care less about your need for V8 sound and how you and many other bash a vastly superior truck for it's V6 sound.

It's not subjective, though. It's scientific fact.

And I've never bashed the new truck. Not once. I've just made factual statements regarding its exhaust note.
