    Looking for input and opinions on exhaust....

    So I know that the 2011-2012 6.2L HDs come with a factory "performance tuned exhaust"... The first question I have is whether or not there is any difference between these exhaust systems and a factory exhaust system of the 6.2L Raptor. The reason I ask is because there are SO MANY more Raptor aftermarket exhaust sound clips online but very few HD clips. So I guess if I knew the HD and Raptor exhausts ARE the same, I would be able to have a better idea of the clips I've heard versus what will actually be going on my truck in the near future. Any knowledge/input/opinions are definitely appreciated... Thanks!

    Yeah, I've heard a few clips from different manufacturers on the web. I was just hoping to hear some personal experiences from some 6.2 guys. All ya'lls input is appreciated though! Trying to stay away from bad interior drone. I love the Sync handsfree.... But definitely want to liven up the tone and open up a little flow. I don't know if it's just going to be a muffler swap for now or a whole exhaust. Decisions, decisions....

    And I may be mistaken, but aren't the Raptor 6.2 and the HD 6.2 the same motor? They make the same power numbers at the same rpms anyways.....

    probably same motor, the thing to check into would be the routing of the exhaust. On the older trucks the HD and lightning received unique dual exhuast from the exhaust manifolds back, while the normal f150's had Y pipes to single exhaust after the manifolds.

    The raptor and HD I would assume would have the same exhaust routing, but that would be one place where they may differ which would have an effect on how a particular brand/model of muffler would sound.

    Thanks Kevin! I was having a very similar thought to that last night. Guess I just need to find a way to see a factory Raptor exhaust setup.... Hmmmmmm....

    Well, I ended up talking to a guy on another forum that works at a Ford dealership. I asked the same questions on said forum and this guy was bored and at the dealership so he went and looked. An hour later I had my answer. The mufflers on 6.2L HD trucks and 6.2L Raptors have the identical part number... So yeah, same muffler, same motor, same routing, same sound. Just in case anyone else had ever wondered... LOL! At least now I can listen to Raptor aftermarket exhaust clips knowing the factory exhaust systems are the same. There just aren't many 6.2 HD clips out there... Mostly Raptors...

    Right on man! And I appreciate the compliment too. I also had a guy another forum that works at a Ford dealership confirm it by actually going and looking at the part numbers and they were the same mufflers for sure. Is yours 2 wheel drive or 4? And congrats on your purchase!
