I've only had my new truck for a couple days and about 400miles and my only gripe is how whisper quiet it is. Its a radical and lould looking truck and doesn't make ANY noise. The tires make more noise! Anyways I only have a 2000lb aluminum race jack for my sports cars so I don't think I can get the truck up any higher to get the exhaust off over the rear axel. I'm also having a REALLY hard time finding info about catbacks for this truck even on this forum other than 'this exhaust is really cool' with no install pics or youtube vids. I'm not all that picky I just want -No highway drone at 1800-2200rpm -More noise but has to be reasonable, no straight pipes as I live on a golf course -Most importantly something I can install laying on my back in my driveway with NO cutting, grinding or welding!
Just unbolt and bolt back on. I also cant find if there are any differences for the screw or scab since the exhaust would be longer but I assume the differences are infront of the cat and I know the 12' exhaust is different from the other yrs so do I need a 2012 because of specific mounts? Thanks for your help guys. I want to get it done this week before a big trip down to FL.
I have a suggestion for you. Look into Magnaflow part number 12388. It's a flow-through muffler that is almost exactly the same dimensions as that of the factory muffer. It has one 3-inch inlet and two 2.5 inch outlets just like the factory muffler, and it's only four inches shorter than the factory muffler but has an overall length of 30 inches. It will need to be welded in and a hanger installed, but the cost of installation will be more than offset by the price differential between the muffler only (MSRP is $194.34, but it can be had for $112) and the Magnaflow cat-back system for the Raptor (roughly $660). I have not done this myself, but I'm looking at it hard. It'll be quieter than the Magnaflow cat-back system too, because the 12388 muffler is longer than the one they use for the cat-back system.
I doubt that it will produce an in-cab drone if the cat-back system doesn't. Go to eBay, I bought my magnaflow for 481 bucks with free shipping. The kit was perfect and brand new.
Just look up raptor exhaust. The company is Gemstatehp. It's the one in the white box. They won't show you the front of it because they are selling it as a white box exhaust. But when you get it it is the magnaflow exhaust for the ford raptor, and it is in the original unopened box. The store has 1736 feed back with 99.8 feed back. I did the magnaflow exhaust, airaid intake and 5star tune.
Works and sounds great. What knd of car did they mess up? Thanks for the fast feedback but If I can't do it all myself I won't do it at all. Multiple multi million dollar shops have totally fucked up 3 of my cars and one did 35k worth of damage and that lawsuit finally settled. I am NEVER letting anyone touch one of my cars. I really like the idea of swapping just the muffler but I'm OK with spending 5-700 bux to get a full blown catback. Usually what I do is try to find the shop in town where people take their classic show cars and such.
Then I take it to those guys. It worked well on my cutout, the shop I took it to did really good work for not much money.

I get where you are coming from, but this is almost like the old seatbelt argument that one person died from wearing one so I won't wear one even though they save millions of lives It sucks you have had bad experiences but my last 4 cars, 2009 SportTrac Adrenaline, 2007 Mustang Gt, 2011 Mustang GT and 2010 Raptor have all had welding on the pipes and I've never had an issue. I welded in a 51777 at a local shop and had a custom 3' tailpipe bent that exits the rear of the truck under the bumper. Nicely hidden because I hate exhaust pipes hanging down. No drone at all and it has a nice rumble under WOT. Took a good look under it today.
I spent about 2hrs making a bike mount out of pvc and ill add that to my other thread in a day or two. Anyways, if it was a simple slip off like a normal exhaust on most cars instead of that huge curved pipe over the axel I wouldn't even ask for help on here and just done it in an hour or 2. So, the question is can you wiggle that curved part over and off the axel and get the new one back on it without the car being lifted up or in a pit? I'm worried about the clearance of the thing to unhook it. Alright Ruger, I think this is the exhaust your talking about.
No one gave me confirmation that there is or isn't a difference between older raptors and/or scabs vs screws for the cat back. I supposed I COULD cut the old one off and throw it away but i'd rather sell it for gas money instead. Once you got it off the new magnaflow was easy enough to wiggle around the axel? Do you or anyone have a pic or two of it installed?

If someone made a video of a how to on youtube i'm sure they'd sell more systems to us do-it-yourself'ers Ohh and to make sure, that exhaust is in the factory places not one of these 'infront of the tire exhausts'.

Glass Pack Muffler
Body Length: 8″ Body Length: 16″ Body Length: 22″ Body Length: 18″ Body Length: 26″ Body Length: 12″ Body Length: 30″ When Cherry Bomb first introduced their glasspack muffler 45 years ago, little did they know it would become one of the most popular sound reduction products ever to hit the market. With the majority of automotive retailers selling this product all across North America it has become a household name among gear heads. The glasspack comes in several different forms but the principle still remains the same. Compact Size Right out of the gate the Cherry Bomb Glasspack sets itself apart visually with its unique compact design. The exterior resembles more of a than your traditional bulky muffler. The key to achieving such a small size comes from their straight-through construction that emphasizes performance.
Exhaust is able to travel a linear path rather than through a maze of pipes and baffles. This cuts down on the amount of materials and space required. As a result, it weighs less than 4 pounds and is considerably smaller than most mufflers on the market making installation relatively simple ( Did I mention it is reversible?). This allows it to be installed on a wide variety of vehicles so long as they have the correct inlet and outlet size (available from 2″ to 4″).
Popular Cherry Bomb Glasspack Muffler Sizes:. Muffler Construction Seams are mig-welded along an aluminized steel body for durability. The noise dampening comes from a ring of fiberglass packed inside the center, hence the term glasspack. The resulting sound is louder than the norm with a unique deep tone immediately recognizable by hobbyists and enthusiasts. For those who prefer something a little quieter, purchasing a longer muffler will do the trick. Even if you’re not currently familiar with the sound, there is no mistaking the shape and trademark bright red finish of the Cherry Bomb glasspack.
Cherry Bomb Warranty One important consideration potential buyers should be aware of involves Cherry Bomb’s warranty. Most manufacturers have some form of warranty against potential defects on the workmanship but this information appears to be lacking both with online retailers and the main site. To some the unclear warranty may be a deal-breaker. Whatever your priorities, the Cherry Bomb is definitely one to consider.
If you’re a buyer who doesn’t want to spend an enormous amount of money and are shopping around for something that will turn heads and won’t break the bank, this Glasspack is right for you. From Fiats to Hondas and even motorbikes, the Cherry Bomb is here to stay.
This might help. I'm not a huge fan of the Super Turbo mufflers, but on a non-turbo car they seem to work okay. More than likely you can just get a generic muffler of the proper type from Summit, etc for cheaper.
You just need to crawl underneath the car and look at what is on the car for pipe, including the diameter of the pipe, and how you want to route the new exhaust. Then go and look at what it available online in that pipe size and take the measurements of the mufflers you're interested in back to the car and make sure they will fit. Once you find the one that you think will fit, order it and the necessary clamps and pipe along with a tip and you're in good shape! NYG95GA wrote: I use a generic glasspack on my Sport Coupe, in the same location as the stock muffler, and it sounds very 'non-rice'. I also have an inline resonator in the tunnel, and a hiflow cat after the TTI longtube header. It's throaty, fairly loud at WOT, but has no raspiness at all.
Anything is better than a fart can! Had the same one mine, from inside it sounded good(well for what it was), at high rpm it got a little nasty sounding, but it sounded way better then my 240sx with a fart can and the glass pack weighs alot less then the stock muffler. This is a case where size does matter. I have found that smaller motors and 4 cylinders need to use cherrybombs that are 2.25' or less. Any larger and there really is no appreciable benefit. It is like running a strait pipe.

For the MR2 I use 2' diameter as long as I can get. I have also found that if you use the ones that have the flanges installed with an offset it really seems to help with little or no HP loss. I am sure that this is because you are directing the exhaust / sound in to the packing instead of blasting it strait through. I had this offset setup on an MR2 of mine for several seasons and it was great. Literal bolted a 12' piece of 2' pipe to the stock selector put it to the offset cherry bomb and put a angle cut 30' tip on it to keep a stock look.
We also use the strait through Cherry bombs on our other cars and they can be very loud. I once fabbed up a system that used two cherry bombs in line on a Honda. Kiem the offline viet hoa full. This worked very well.
The reason for two was that we did not have enough pipe but we had a second cherry bomb. So in it went to get it running. Not optimal when dealing with weight but I liked the resulting sound. One of the best sounding Set ups was on my 85 RX7. I had the stock cats in place but the muffler exploded so I removed it completely and put a strait pipe and a duel tipped Anza unit on.

It had the nasty raspy British sports car sound up to about 4500 but still very quiet. Then all of a sudden at 4500 it would make your your ears bleed. It was a hoot to blip the throttle in a parking garage. Sent people running and set off most every car alarm As for other systems we have tried.
Vortex makes a decent performance unit but for the $60-$80 they want for it I can get 3-4 Cherry bombs and they really don't seem to be effective on the high pitched 4 cylinder motors. I think they are optimised for 8's as we put it in the truck and it really seemed to work well there. Another good muffler I found was the Walker 'performance' direct bolt in replacement for the Escort GT muffler. I used this in a X19 with great results.

Perfect mix of sound and flow as well as fitment. So to summerize; four cylinders seem to need 2.25' diameter or less Cherry bombs be effective The longer the Cherry Bomb the better and the offset cherry bombs seem to add an additional sound deadening that does to seem to eject HP. The down side of the cherry bomb was that all I seemed to get was 2-3 seasons on the race car then they either blow out the packing of the interior mesh rusts out.

It uses the stock pipes, resonators, cats etc. Just cut off the muffler and replace.
I needed two short 1.75' pieces and a HF expander tool to get the pipes to match the stock location. I bought 2 19' 1.75' i/o cherry bombs with the offset angles on them, welded a piece of angle iron across them to hold them at the right distance from each other and use as a hanger fixture. I cut off the old muffler first and just placed them there and marked where they needed to be.
Made the small pieces and expanded them. Tacked it and then took off the catback to weld it properly out where I could roll it around.
