OK! Please definitely include a lot of pictures of the installed exhaust when launched, I'm all for a high clearance model that doesn't have the massive tips and still sounds great.

I think a video as soon as possible to showcase the sound in each exhaust mode would be beneficial. [...]
Our release video will showcase the Baja mode vs. the quiet mode to show the range of the system. However, all modes are functional and retained.

We will update this post with a suite of photos to showcase the complete system and all available configurations upon launch.

@Christian Can you confirm that each mode will work properly?

Quiet, Normal, Sport, Baja, and each mode will progressively become louder?

And are you able to confirm that quiet mode is virtually drone-free? (I don’t see a helmholtz, so I’m curious how this was achieved).

All four modes function as they are intended. The valve behavior of Normal mode and Sport mode is ECU dictated and operates by choosing when the valved system opens, the size of the opening across a certain RPM range, and how long it remains open based on throttle input. Quiet mode keeps the system locked tight, while Baja mode unleashes the full potential.

We feel that our system sounds killer and we have taken full advantage of our T304L stainless and the thick-walled construction to create an epic soundtrack upgrade. Stay tuned for the videos on launch.

Thank you! Maybe this was a bit misleading / hard to understand in the initial description. May be worth tweaking the verbiage.

Looking forward to it!

I doubt it, least for me, if their is Hemi V8 Dakota TRX , and it looks as good as the full size TRX, I am 100% going to be jumping all over that. That will be a must have truck. No v8 , probably not , but am betting the SRT Dakota gets a v8.

I have all but given up on the Godzilla swap. Got my deposit back a couple weeks ago. I did ask them to let me know if and when they ever get their ducks in row, that I am still interested in doing it. But seems nothing has been happening lately with moving the needle on getting any of these built.

I did order a 27‘ TRX this week, ordered pretty much the same spec I had ordered back in 2020.
I have no idea when I will see it, order bank just opened up this week, and got the call, so I went ahead and placed my order since it seems my Godzilla RR is on a somewhat or seemingly permanent delayed status.
Dang, I was really wanting to see a Godzilla swapped Ranger Raptor. I went round and round wanting a supercharged Coyote conversion—and for the money I already spent, it wouldn’t take that much more just for the Coyote. Damn—I still bow and give props—Godzilla.

If there is ever a fully developed Ford engine swap program out there, similar to the AMW Hemi swap program is for Jeeps, I am still very interested in getting it done. Just nothing was happening Bronco or Ranger wise. Nothing meaning I was expecting by now to be seeing at least a dozen or so Broncos and maybe 1 or 2 Rangers done. Best I was ever able to find was maybe 3 total of the Broncos and seems a lot of the fine tuning is still going on with those, the first one has had another motor and trans put in it. Not sure why . Just knowing I am 12-13 hours away from the original shop that was doing those first Bronco’s. If something goes wrong, it could be a huge hassle and very expensive to ship it back and forth. I really need them to be well proven and dialed in with cranking these things out. AMW cranks their Hemi swapped jeeps out on the daily. And since AMW has their process really dialed in and perfected, it’s 15-20k cheaper then v8 swapping a Bronco or Ranger.

With Ram and Jeep bringing more and more factory Hemi v8 powered trucks to market. Likely a Dakota v8 coming in a year or two. Plus the Rumble bee 392 coming in January , which I am planning to order a 392 Rumble bee. I already placed an order for another TRX . I plan to keep at least 1 of my RRs around for sure. I do love the mid-size RRs a lot. But I want my v8s back one way or another.

I hear yah. I love the sound of a V8 at full tilt—a flat plane crank, supercharged, has a mind-blowing sound that turbocharged 6s just don’t quite have. Some sixes sound good(GTR 35 comes to mind).

It would be great if Ford had an in house warranted tuner division that did this. I think Hennessey and Roush are Ford warrantied tuber companies. Maybe they will make something

It sounds the best out of all the options in my opinion. I do think the 5" tips are a tad big at least in the pictures. 4" would probably be perfect.

I'd also like to see a picture of the high clearance option.

If I ever decided to spend the money on the exhaust it would be this one.

From what I have heard so far I agree it does sound the best of all the systems out there.

Looking forward to those next sound clips that show off the different modes.
I really want to hear that system in quiet mode.

I love that they have a tucked / high clearance tip option too.

I agree it's the best sounding system so far and will more than likely be the one I end up putting on if I don't jump ship to the V-8 Scrambler or Dakota. (I more than likely will be jumping ship, but I need details/info first.)

When we release I will make sure to update this post with pictures of the high clearance BashGuard option as well as additional pictures of the 5" tip options.

We will also be offering up some sound clips to help illustrate the system in action.

Stay tuned!
