New Catback Valved Exhaust Install Sound Clips vs resonator delete / tips (on 2024 Ranger Raptor)

[dbagdbag]

debating going to a TTRS or RS3 because of the 5 cyl. I will say the inline 6's sound way better than a v6 though

I am still considering the fab 4 tips, just still struggling with insane cost for a couple exhaust tips.
‘That $900 price tag for tips just seems about 3-4 times higher than it should be. I just don’t understand why those tips are so expensive. Plus I am concerned about how removing the resonators will affect the sound level. I do tend to like a v6 to remain quiet.

The sound comparison wasn’t exactly apples to apples. I had already removed my resonators when they installed the Milltek exhaust. So that is what yours would sound like removed, the before. Also yes the weld's I did look like doodoo. There is another video of them driving it, let me find it.

Milltek makes quality stuff...

Wait is the spare retained or has to be removed?

Great info.
Thanks !

Was there any footage of your prior setup, only less the resonators running in quiet mode?

Should have put a bigger resonator in instead of whatever that tiny muffler is. The new open exhaust sounds terrible.

I just seen your post where you put RV mufflers on something. I've got 4 of these factory resonators if you want to add them to your RR?

I don't get the need for vehicle to be loud.
If it's fast and has power I'd much rather not draw that attention to myself.
Def. don't like the Jerkoff's hitting it in residential areas late at night.
Waking me and the kids up. Like last night for instance.
Might be extra salty about it today.

Ranger Raptor Milltek Active Exhaust Teaser Video

Sorry, I couldn't get it to upload, even compressed it. Had to make a youtube channel. Says it will be available at 1:30 EST.

I live in the middle of nowhere on a few hundred acres and still have my raptors start in quiet mode. I get it. I'm not trying to make people run it in Baja mode, just posting a video of a different exhaust option, and sound. It also comes with different color tips which has been a big topic. You need this video, it will make you feel better. Up Cooking Breakfast WoooWooo

I see the website says that its 3" tubing, does anyone have a measurement of what the stock size is? I'd be interested in seeing if there's any performance gains to be had with the system since thats the main source of power difference between the RRaptor and the BRaptor (at least that's what Ford claims)

I'm interested to see what you plan to do about the white running lights. Amber running lights would really help the appearance of these trucks.

Give me a little over a week and I'll share. It might look great or might look terrible, I'll be the guinea pig.

Good eye. First one to notice. Didn't have to be removed, but I lost about 100lbs by removing it.

I really doubt this is true - exhaust mods from cats back on turbo cars have very little HP impact. If you did downpipes and removed cats and then tuned, you’d see a difference…but catback, I doubt it.

I think Ford slightly detuned so Braptor had the higher figure…at the price premium, I get the business decision!

Huge overseas. They've had a US/North America presence for past couple of years.
