After several suggestions from others, I had true dual exhaust installed on my Raptor yesterday with an X-pipe up front and dual mufflers. The specifications are as follows:

True Duals with 2.5" piping
MagnaFlow Tru-X pipe
Dual MagnaFlow SI/SO mufflers
Tailpipes over the axle and around the 35" spare (Hidden)
4" Diameter Double Wall Stainless Steel Tips

I have grown tired of the big tailpipes straight out the back and I have never liked tailpipes coming out the side in front or directly behind the wheel. I asked the shop to hide the tailpipes except for a small amount of the tips. They used the factory rubber mounts and they even added one of their own on the driver side at the rear. The workmanship of the pipe bending and welds is very good.

They may have tucked the tips up a little too far, but I will let you guys be the judge of it.

Should I leave them the way they are or should I ask them to expose another inch or two of the tips?

Thanks,

PS. I will post a sound clip as soon as I charge my Flip camera.

 

It really looks good and I like the fact that you didn't do what every body else is doing. I am waiting on my 2011 fx4 to come in and I wanted to do something different myself. I think it is really sharp just the way you did it. Looks great!

 

I like it how it is. I say keep it. Looks clean and sharp that way.

 

Sound clips please, thank you



BTW. Leave it, looks great. That's almost exactly how I had mine done on a previous expedition. Loved it.

 

SEXY BEAST leave it the way it is

 

sexyyyy is right. beautifulllll beautiful ride

 

I say leave it. Beautiful truck too!

 

Looks good just how it is, I wouldn't change the exhaust at all.

 

Beautiful truck man, and the exhaust exit looks really really really good!

 

That looks Perfect! How does she sound though? That engine must be LOUD

 

Great looking truck and keep it, looks cleaner

 

i really like this!

 

Now thats a bloody nice truck

My tips are 45d out back, everyone has their own preferences and mine are flush with the body, you can definitely see them from behind, but are tucked enough for off roading.

Gotta a take a pic sometime of mine, but enjoy the exhaust!

 

Thanks for all the comments!! I really thought I wanted the tailpipes to be a little lower, but everyone else seems to disagree. The owner of the shop said they would gladly change the tips to any position and I could take a few days to decide.

I have not used my Flip in a while and it is having a problem charging, so I may be delayed in getting the sound clip. It is louder than my 5.4L with the same type of exhaust, but maintains the deep tone of true dual MagnaFlow mufflers. There is no drone in the cabin at highway cruising speeds.

Looks great man! Keep them the way they are.
