my 2017 raptor exhost system upgrade

Qatarsub, do you have any plans for your stock downpipes? There 3 guys (myself included) in the process of doing Raptor exhaust upgrades to XLTs...

I get a good amount of compliments on the sound of the ATAK with X-Pipes. I still much prefer the rumble of a V-8. If you are going to act like your truck has a lot of horsepower, you might as well make it catch peoples attention with some sort of noise.

Under stand what you mean buddy.

The thing is we never act having lots of horsepower because we do have them. And to get people attention is by me having v6 beating up the v8 you are talking about.

Man come on only v8s act like they have loots of power and then a honda civic with 4 cyl beat the hell out of them.

Cheers bud

Yeah yeah yeah we know you like the sound of your v8; you can listen to it as we (v6tt) go by. Can we please get past the v8 is a better sound argument? It is so old now and really no one gives 0 *****.


Nice build so far! Keep it up!

Qatarsub- You didn't by chance make a video with just the DPs and adapters installed. In my previous car (Nissan GTR), I had heard many just did catless DPs and Y pipes and left the factory exhaust. I found the sound was nearly perfect. loud when you got on it and quiet enough I didn't wake up the neighbors every time I started it.

Trying to determine if I would be happy with just that seeing your gains are almost always going to be from the DPs and hardly anything comes from the cat back exhaust.

I liked the factory sound best. All these aftermarket bits just make the Raptor sound like a diesel tractor.

The text at the end made me chuckle... “even way much better”
