Has anyone just taken the stock muffler out and put a Flow master, cherry bombs or Magnaflow on an EcoBoost? Can't imagine it sounding too bad.

 

There are a ton of clips on youtube. I'm not endorsing any of these. The issue with any turbo is that the exhaust is always muffled by the turbos themselves so they end up sounding like a turbo only louder. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

 

It is true that the 3.5 Ecoboost is a potent little package. The generation that will be going in the new Ford GT was developed by Roush/Yates Engines in partnership with Ford Racing for the Daytona Prototype class of the now IMSA TUDOR racing series. They boys at Roush/Yates Engines personally told me, that IMSA would only let them "dial in" 600 HP to the tune....but that they ( Roush/Yates ) had dyno tested it reliably much higher than that. The new 3.5 Ecoboost in the Raptor is said by Ford to have more HP and torque than the 6.2.....so I'm going to guess that the Ecoboost in the new Raptor will come in with at least 450 HP...maybe a bit higher and 440 torque.

 

Sounds absolutely horrible.

 

It sounds just like my current 2002 4.2 with Flowmaster mufflers.

I definitely does not sound like a V8 - at least in this video.

 

I agree. I love the torque curve of the turbo motor, and I probably won't be going back. My only complaint as well is the sound of the V6. I just wish Ford would have produced a V8 Ecoboost for their trucks and the Mustang. The 3.5 is proving that it doesn't need to be a high displacement V8, so something in the 3.5 to 4.0 liter range as a V8 ecoboost would have me trading in my '13 in an instant.

 

The Ford GT has EFR turbos on it. They are seriously dialing back the power to keep it as low as 600Hp. That is an 850Hp set of turbos on the engine. I'm guessing GT owners will be able to fix that 600Hp flaw with a $400 tuner.

If the Raptor ends up having EFR turbos, then look out.....

 

It might have EFR turbos.

Ford Engineering Boss Confirms New F-150 Raptor Makes 450 HP

 

The 800Hp and change might be for LeMans racing GT.

 

The race car is 600 Hp, at least it was last year. Still doesn't change what those turbos can do.

 

Fords V10 exhaust note doesn't sound that great, but the engine as we know it produces respectable power.


I suspect the new Raptors dual exhaust tips are there for a reason other than looks.

 

The ecoboost is a V6. So guess what.... Its gonna sound like a V6. It's been 5 years people.... Its 2015 and still every topic about the ecoboost will have 3/4 posts complaining that they don't like the way it sounds.... Like how much more can we beat this dead horse

 

Here's another video of the Raptor... Enjoy!

 

Well I do like the large tow hooks in the rear. What I don't like the the insane amount of plastic on the outside of the truck. If one is going to take it in the woods for deer hunting and hits a tree just right, its going to shatter and will be expensive to fix. Going to need a brush guard or large steel front bumper to protect it. I'll predict that starting price is going to be $47,500 up to $70,000 with everything.

The truck doesn't sound like it'll have the ESOF for 4x4 and 2x4, almost be an active/inactive transfer case where it'll go in and out and transfer power to where its needed. Way more complication than I would like. Think a simple transfer case or making it a capable AWD truck would have been easier. I know its for standards.

Did anyone catch that the guy said that the new frame is a bit thicker than the current 2015 or did I hear that wrong?

 

V-6s and V-10s with loud exhaust systems just sound "industrial" to me.
