A tremendous amount My son & I both think it sounds a little deeper now, but unfortunately I don't think it's any louder. You just can't please me, as one of the reasons I put the BORLA on was to quiet it a little, but now I want it a little louder However, I am not sure if it's in my mind or not, but I swear the truck feels "peppier" now. Either way I am glad I got em on finally, as I am hoping that next year I'll be installing a Roush Supercharger & everybody knows, more air in means more air out

You're gonna whole hog eh? That would be the ultimate mod for me, I'd really like something like that on a 5.0.
One guy@OCMike , just did that on his '18. There's a few others too, but I'm most familiar with his. Looks like it moves right along.

Well Friday was a big day for Ruby, I dropped her off at the shop to finally have the 3.73 Gear's & a Detroit TrueTrac installed
That same day UPS arrived with her new RAPTOR Steering Wheel & unfortunately, 28 expensive new Valve Cover Bolt's.... Pic's to follow

OE Sport Wheel, nice but.....



Of course a RAPTOR Wheel seems better....



The Raptor Wheel's material even matches my Seat's...

Can’t go wrong with the Raptor wheel upgrade. One of my favorite mods. Although the air bag gave me fits.

What did you use to pop it? I also had a lot of trouble re-seating it properly. Jeez, I'm such a hack.

A long shaft Phillips screwdriver, which fit snug inside the 3 holes of the plastic shroud. A nice firm push in each one & it popped right out, one at a time. As far as re-seating, I just placed the airbag where it goes, then used both hands to evenly push it into place & again, it popped right in place

What did you have for a gear, 3:55? How do like the 3:73? I know you've gotta feel the difference.
