Cold Start on my heavily modded 2019 Raptor… thoughts?

So I’ve got AMS downpipes, Borla ATAK exhaust, and Borla Black Chrome tailpipes on my 2019 Raptor. Thoughts on how it sounds?

Man, these trucks just don’t sound good with aftermarket exhausts :joy:

They sound alright until people start straight-piping them. Basically what you’ve done here.

Yeah, I feel like only the Gen 3s with the trombone setup sound halfway decent when it comes to EcoBoost engines.

Makes you appreciate the work Ford put into making the Gen 3 sound better. But in the end, it’s all personal taste.

@Shane
Ford struggled? What do you mean?

I bought a used 2020 Raptor with a Borla ATAK already installed, and I gotta say, I kinda hate it sometimes. It’s super loud on cold starts and really ‘blatty’ when under load. The idle when it’s warmed up is decent though, and cruising isn’t too bad. If I had bought it new, I wouldn’t have paid for this setup, but I don’t hate it enough to swap it out.

@Kai
I think there are exhaust setups for the Gen 2 that include the trombone. If you’re going to replace it, maybe try one of those?

@Kai
There’s nothing worse than an obnoxious cold start lol.

@Kai
Yeah, I’ve looked into some options, but I don’t hate it enough to spend the money. If it had come stock, I definitely would’ve picked something else though.

Honestly, it sounds like cake farts.

Well, it’s obviously not a V8 lol

That sounds like one angry lawnmower.

Very angry :sob:

Just an exhaust isn’t really ‘heavily modded’ though… nice truck anyway!

Check my earlier post, I’ve got a full list of mods there.

Looks like you’ve got a lot of bolt-ons. Nothing too crazy though.

@Winter
What else could I do? Other than bigger turbos, injectors, or fuel pump upgrades.
