Default JBA Raptor Exhaust on 5.0L

Hey guys, I am new to the forum, I recently bought a Ford as my daily driver and was wanting to put an exhaust on it. I have tried using the search feature and havent found anything yet, but I was wondering if anyone had tried to install the JBA Exhaust for a Super Cab Raptor on to a Super Cab 5.0L? I have an exhaust similar to it on the 05' 5.4L, I will post a link of the one that I am wanting, if anyone can tell me what I would have to do to make it work if even possible, I would appreciate it.

Come on guys? Surely I am not the only one who wants a side exit exhaust like that.

I thought about it for a quick second but being a crewcab and having small kids I didn't want the exhaust right there.

That exhaust would probably sound and look cool, but it won't add any HP. The stock system is already a straight through design.

Very similar to Lightning exhaust. I noticed what made a L really loud was either high flow cats or removal of the cats. I put a stock muffler on with high flow cats and it was still loud. I would think with the stock cats it would not be too loud. Looks like a pretty good sized muffler. Still will be louder in cab due to exiting right behind the cab.

I wonder how much modifications I would have to do to make that exact muffler fit. I am not too worried about the side exit being overly loud, my current one on the 5.4L is pretty quiet cruising, WOT is a whole different story.

The 5.0 is WAY louder than a 5.4 with the same exhaust.

A Scab Raptor has a shorter wheelbase than a non-raptor Scab F150. You will have fitment issues for sure.
