I put the knock-off 6.2L emblems like the raptor has on my doors. Also, yea I have that giant sticker on the front windshield saying Dearborn...what is that about?

Well the ecoboost has the emblem on the doors and the 5.4 has the flex leaf on the tailgate and the 5.0 has the flex fuel badge on the tailgate as well. That's how I distinguishe the few

I have my 6.2 labeled. It came with one on the drivers side door but not the passenger side so I had to add one.

No Flexfuel denoting 5.0L version nor obviously EcoBoost badging.
Nothing whatsoever, which is the only clue on what's underneath the hood...

I also put those 6.2L badges on. Looks factory, unless you know exactly that ford never put them on... Oh also on my truck I left the factory resonator in when I had the borla muffler welded in. Also had them weld on a chrome tip instead of that cheesy factory clamp on one... Not a fan of that.

So I have been driving the truck around for a while now and this is exactly how a truck should drive! The bilstein 5100 are perfect. The ride is firm but not harsh and very controlled. 100x better than the factory shocks, which were very soft and allowed way to much movement. That little judder is completely gone! I love the look as mine sits now on the 1.5" setting on the fronts. This gave me 3/4" rake to it. Just what I wanted!

The borla muffler I had welded on is perfect. No need for the catback for me now. And for under 200 with the muffler and nice 70+ dollar chrome tip I had welded on too and the labor. Sound is perfect. Zero drone! Exhaust sounds great. Man the 6.2L is a deep deep sounding motor. My old 5.4 wasn't near this deep with the borla on it. I kept the resonator as well on both vehicles.

I don't like the drone noise that comes with most aftermarket mufflers. On the outside they sound great, but that drone noise is terrible.
