[QUOTE="Ruger, post: 699600, member: 1594"] Having modified the exhaust on my last two trucks as well as my Raptor, I think I may have something to contribute. I had a 1986 1/2 Nissan 4x4 with the 2400cc 4-banger. I took off the factory exhaust and installed a Flowmaster. When I went to the shop to pick it up I asked the proprietor how it sounded. He looked at the ground, shook his head and said, "It's loud." He wasn't kidding. When I started it up it sounded like a Space Shuttle launch. As I drove it home I learned that any marginally meaningful application of throttle could get me arrested. I called Flowmaster and they very kindly send me a resonator free of charge. That solved the problem, and I thereafter had the coolest sounding 4-banger 4x4 in north Alabama. My next truck was a 2WD GMC Canyon with the 3.5L 5 cylinder engine. I had ordered it from the factory with a manual transmission, and the thing was so over-muffled that I couldn't hear when to shift. I replaced the factory system with a Magnaflow cat-back system, and it really improved the sound and enjoyment of the vehicle. No drone. And here is the thread on the replacement of the factory Raptor muffler with a Magnaflow muffler: [url]http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f160/installation-magnaflow-12388-2011-6-2-supercab-26021/[/url] What I learned from the work on the Raptor is that there is absolutely nothing inherently wrong with the Raptor factory exhaust system. It's a good system, in fact. It doesn't drone, sounds beefy, and has a very pleasant rasp when you hit the throttle. I scared a Mazda Miata driver nearly off the road with it during a passing maneuver. The Magnaflow is a little louder, but is smoother and lacks the rasp at full throttle. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't. [/QUOTE]
