Has anyone straight piped there 2.7 Ecoboost yet? I've tried searching some videos on youtube and cannot find any 2.7 ecos yet. Just a bunch of 3.5s. I'm sure they sound pretty similar but maybe a little different? I'd love to hear the 2.7 straight piped from the turbos back.

I'll be getting a new truck this November and still can't decide between the 2.7 and 3.5.

If you want an impressive exhaust note after installing a muffler/catback, buy the 5.0. If you want 470tq and a 10 speed transmission, buy the 3.5 after the prices settle for the 2017.

Its not that i want an impressive exhaust note really. Id just like to be able to hear that turbo spool a bit more. Thats why i was looking for 2.7 straight pipes from the turbos back but not many people have done it... I think im going to go for the 2.7. Lease it for the 2 years and if i like it ill just end up buying it.

It would be stupidly loud and lots of drone at pretty much all speeds.

Look at the Borla offerings:

I don't think it would sound good.

^^^Agreed. Save your money, buy a tune and tires.

That sounds quite terrible lol... I think I'd rather tune and go for a cold air intake and get more of an engine/turbo note that way.

thebreba

Agreed.

Ryan...

The intake should give a bit more turbo spool noise for sure.

The S Type Borla doesn't sound *too* bad in my opinion, but at $1k+ a pop it's a bit pricey for me.


You could always look at popping on a Flowmaster/Magnaflow/Borla muffler on there for a bit more noise at 1/4 of the cost of a full catback system. Shouldn't sound too raspy and at least you'll be able to hear your truck over the Camry next to it

Vent your blow off valve to the atmosphere instead of back into the intercooler, stage three motor sports sells a kit, lots of turbo noise with this mod.
