are you serious dude????
few weeks ago, I added the full exhaust on the ecoboost and it sounded like complete shit. no rumble/roar in it and it was embarasing stepping on it too.

Coming back to Houston tomorrow, doing
-Rims/Tires
-Exhaust
-Leveling the truck
-Tint
-HIDs.

I saw a couple of Raptors up here in TO. It looks like a normal pickup from a distance. I only noticed it was a Raptor when I was 2-3 cars lengths away from it.

Oh and forgot to mention, with in an hour behind the wheel

Was an honest mistake but this midget face a-hole wrote me a ticket without even saying a word. And then talks about it and I told him what happened and he says that he already filled out the ticket , otherwise would have let me go.

Congrats! I love the raptor as well. Great looking truck and so dominating when you see it on the road next to other trucks.

Are you involved with EVS? I think they had a night meet at 2K12, correct?

This thread has the silver raptor on the lot 2 miles away from me screaming at me every time I pass.

curious to see what the mileage is over the long haul. is it noticeably noisier than the fx on the hwy? If I got one, I think i'd wait for the 2013.

It's extremely quiet on the freeway. About the same as fx.
Not sure about the miles with the new tires , they're about the same size and same brand.

Got a lot done today , pretty much everything that was on the to-do list
Exhaust
Tint
Front lift
Rims/tires
HIDs

Here is a quick video of it
As far as the exhaust goes , I deleted the resonator and replaced the muffler with Magnaflow.

So many Raptors.. btw.. I know a guy that is starting a business installing twin turbos on the Raptor with tune. I talked to him a month ago as he was just getting the cap to get it going. He's a big gear head.. owns a ten second regal TT and a procharged SRT8 Jeep. I doubt you'd be interested, but if you are, I'll get you his info.

I just realized that between the Raptor and the Viper, you have 18 cylinders, 14.5L, and 911hp. FML.
