Bigger muffler?

[pablo94sc]

I noticed that the exhaust can drone a bit with anything but quiet mode turned on at highway speeds. In the past, installing larger mufflers and resonator on my car lowered the frequency of the exhaust and reduced drone to almost nothing. Can that be done on our raptors without losing the adjustable exhaust? I have zero clue where the adjustable baffles are located, or if there is even room to install a slightly larger muffler(s) under there, so figured I'd ask here first.

Maybe install some magnaflows where the rear small mufflers before the tips?

If there is room, that's what I'll likely do. The center muffler (resonator) might need to be a bit larger as well. I got my old supercharged v6 to have a deep, throaty growl at WOT. It took a little "finesse" to fit the larger resonator in the trans tunnel, but it really made it nice and quiet when cruising.

Fyi - looks like the active exhaust baffles are after the resonator, so it should be doable.

Please keep us updated. I'd love to deepen the sound to something resembling a V8

That probably won't happen.

I don’t understand. Why not just put it in quiet mode on the freeway?

Still drones a bit. It's an ok sound, but it could be better.

If you change them out, post your results.

I plan on it. Here is a link to something in AUS that looks promising, and shows we can get a deeper sounding exhaust.
