Fake exhaust sounds with a 5.0?

[GEN14OWNER]

I've been modding vehicles for more than 25 years, but the sound of a quality aftermarket exhaust connected to a V8 power plant still makes me giggle.

I haven’t gotten around to upgrading the exhaust in my RCSB to let the Coyote howl yet (this summer) but there’s no mistaking what happens when I stab the throttle.

It’s a 5.0 in a little tiny F150 and if not for Traction Control, my truck would surely be a balled up heap of tangled aluminum and steel getting picked over by vultures in a wrecking yard by now!

“WHOA LISTEN TO THAT ECOBOOST EXHAUST”

The mean, the tough, the capable 3.5 HO EB Raptor exhaust - what were they thinking

No there is no fake noise. You are hearing a sport engine with dual overhead cams (32 valves) revving to 7,000 rpm. It does not sound like a pushrod V8 at all, more akin to an Aston Martin engine. Double the valves, way more rpm, different firing order. Much more power than a pushrod V8 too.
