Default Any 6.2 owners in here??

Ive been reading a whole lot of posts on the new EB engine but not much on the 6.2. Just bought a 2011 platinum with the 6.2 and totally loving this truck so far. Want badly to put an exhaust system on this beast and a cold air intake. I can imagine how this thing will sound with just those two mods With that being said, anyone here done any mods to the new 6.2 and how do you like it? Whats a good brand for exhaust and intake? Also, how are yall directing the tips? Im thinking dual tips out the passenger side behind the wheel would be sweet.

can't help you there, but I just found out this weekend the 6.2 tops out at 100 mph. A V6 Toyota left me in the dust on the interstate. You got anything on that?

I am ordering a tuner and CAI today from 5Star. You can find a group buy offering in the Vendor Showcase section of the forums going on right now. It comes with an SCT X3 programmer and 3 custom tunes and a AFE CAI for $739.

I plan on exhaust mid next year so can't really offer any advice on that front yet.

Welcome to the forums and congrats on the new ride!

The limiter will be removed with the custom tunes. All current f150's are limited at 95 MPH I believe. Also the Toyota weights thousands of pounds less then a 6500 lb 150.

Here is the link to Mike@5Star's group buy if you are interested. There are a crap ton of forum members that utilize his expertise.

That is my understanding. As long as you revert the tune back to original you "should" be good.

You 6.2L owners are killing the earth you know

Warranty all depends on your dealer and Fords feeling towards your problem, it is their call. You don't like it, you can challenge them in courts. /THREAD

VIDEO!.

@OP
I'd love a 6.2 but the XLT is my limit in truck $. IMHO exhaust exiting just in front of the rear tires is the way to go.
