I'm waiting for my 2018 Ruby Red King Ranch with the 5.0L Coyote engine. The Ford Cotus site shows it In Transit and I'm hoping to have it by Christmas.

I drove both the 3.5 and the 5.0 and they were very different trucks. I didn't like how busy the 3.5 felt. The 5.0 seems effortless, it just picks you up and sends you on your way.

I'll be trading in my 2012 Mustang GT convertible with 5.0L Coyote, so I am very comfortable with this engine.

Got my Flowmaster Super 10 put on yesterday in place of the factory muffler with a stainless pipe for the extra length. Man does it sound mean! I was talking to the guy at the muffler shop after getting it done and commented on how he had never seen or heard a Super 10 and how amazing it sounded. He also said that last week somebody brought in a brand new 2.7 Eco and put a Borla system on it and how awful it sounded. I got a chuckle out of that! He said the customer was happy but they were all laughing when he left!

I considered a Flowmaster Delta Flow 50. Do you have any drone around 1900 rpm's while at cruising speed? I would love to hear a video of yours if you can. I have a few clips in my build thread plus a 0-80 clip.

I will try to get a clip of highway after work today. Can't really hear it that much strictly cruising. But the minute it downshifts you can definitely hear it. I think it sounds great and love it. The wifey....not so much really. My 19 month old giggles when we zoom zoom from a stop sign! I think he's a fan!

Nobody in my house liked my full on CAI, headers, exhaust, and tune that I had in my Titan, but it made me smile every time I pushed the go pedal! Enjoy buddy!

That sounds just like my Borla on start up! LOL. I think with the 5.0 we cant go wrong with either Flowmaster or Borla. These trucks just sound so good with either!

I had a little different route. I won mine on ebay for a cost of $70 to me (had a ebay gift card for $25) and then $140 for install. Total cost of $210 for basically what others pay $800-900 for a cat-back system.

A guy near me had a lifted black Titan and that thing sounded so good. I bet you loved it!
