Depends on how you look at it. It is after 12 pm

You are seriously limiting your potential.

Same here, no alcohol in the morning.

Wake & Bake works just fine for me.

I just took off a Flow master axle back FX dual black tip. Looking to go with a high clearance. I’ll put it up in the appropriate section.

Save your money. All aftermarket exhaust sound terrible on any turbocharged four or six cylinder.

There are plenty of cars with turbo 4 or 6 cylinder motors that sound amazing with the right exhaust. The Bronco simply isn't one of them. So many of these exhausts sound fantastic on cold starts but absolutely horrible under any sort of throttle over 1500rpms. Between the ones I've tried and the one's I've heard videos of either hwre or on YouTube, literally nothing sounds good when you actually step on the gas

No Ecoboost has ever sounded good. Good engines, awful sound. Even the ~$700k Ford GT sounds like an old Uhaul truck from a Northern state with a salt-rotted exhaust. My toddler recently farted through a cardboard tube and it sounded exactly like an aftermarket Ecoboost exhaust. The most I would pay to reproduce that sound is 2 cheese sticks and his juice cup spiked with fiber supplement.

My honest advice is... don't buy an exhaust for an Ecoboost.

Ok, full humility here... 20 years ago, I thought SLP Loudmouths on a New Edge Mustang GT was the epitome of a "good exhaust sound." We've all done something similar. After a few months, I recognized that the angry elephant sound wasn't actually cool, and most people that heard it were not impressed whatsoever (in fact, most were annoyed and just didn't have the heart to tell me except one particularly angry fellow who threw his coffee at me while I was at a drive-thru). I sold it and swapped it out for a milder chambered exhaust and was much happier. Fast forward two years, and I had a built engine, blower, angry cams, the works. It sounded insanely good by comparison, but nobody except auto enthusiasts who liked Mustangs enjoyed it. I honestly think that most people equate the short term novelty factor of "different" with "good."

I did a rough country muffler delete on a 2.7. Too farty in higher rpm's and too much drone in lower rpm's. I had a vibrant performance resonator installed in addition to the muffler delete and no more fart or drone. It's never going to sound like a V8, but I'm happy with it and have had raptor owners tell me it sounds better than baja mode.

Trying to upload a video for sound clips, but keep getting an error message

Walker muffler use to sell high flow muffler's .They were real quiet and made my car a great sleeper.Wish more manufactures would do that..

@LPJunior can you provide a link to the resonator? Also, are you getting higher gas mileage? I’m getting almost 2 MPG improvement with the muffler delete so far over the last 1000 miles.

No improvement in MPG due to increase in exhaust noise increasing amount of pressure placed on the gas pedal, and only utilizing sport mode.

Where did you have them install the resonator at and do you have anymore clips?

It's pretty much right under the driver seat. No other clips at the moment

Is there a reason for that location vs the rear where the muffler was
