I changed the muffler and it really doesn't sound that great. However I do like to hear the engine. The stock exhaust I could barely hear it at all. I also drove around the block with the muffler disconnected. Sounded horrible, was more of a whooooosh than anything. Definately no rumble at all.

The only time I hear the Ecoboost is if it's pulling hard under heavy boost - then it has this sweet low rumbling sound, but it's not coming from the exhaust. It's coming from the engine compartment, and you can actually FEEL it.
I've tried rolling the windows down with one of those sound walls next to me when it's working like that - the only noise that gets reflected back is the turbo screaming pretty loud. I wonder if that's what the other drivers hear as I pass them?

his warranty on the exhaust system will be void. But....The dealer has to prove that the part in question voided your warranty.

Ive had no problems with my Borla exhaust and Volant Intake..and my SCT tune. My service writer knows, hell I showed him, he also knows to NOT charge me for an air filter when I come in for oil changes.

while technically true, do you have the technical and law background to fight their lawyers AND engineers? trust me, engineers can be pretty resourceful when trying to prove a point.

It might make the turbos spool up a bit quicker and sound better...but...I know what you are saying.
I really think that it you only replaced the muffler/reasonator with an aftermarket and left the piping stock...they would not have a leg to stand on

Doesn't make sense, I've videod the boost going down the 1/4 mile & the truck controls it. Watch the attached, you can see it dialing the boost back before each shift, (1-2 & 2-3). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_Arxd3sS4w
