Something I randomly thought of today is how good can you possibly make the 2.3L exhaust sound? I listened to some different ones on the Ranger and it still sounds like an import tuner. I like my vehicles to sound nice but think the 2.7 is the only way to make that happen on this Bronco. I need the 7 speed though so I guess it's pick your poison.

You're better off not hearing the 2.3 at all. Gonna sound like a 4 banger no matter what you do. As a matter of fact, better to have some aggressive tires to cover up the sound.

That's what I'm talking about. You are wise. I'll probably end up with a Black Diamond and switch to aftermarket 35s once the factory rubber wears down.

The factory rubber on the BD are 31.6 inch, so they may look wore down from the get go. I've already talked to my dealer about swapping tires before driving off the lot.

I did. That's how I know what it sounds like in the Ranger. Figured that was the closest comparison.

Yep, same here. Depends on what options I truly have access to when I make my build for the preorder.

Yep. I like the Roush with muffler delete the best out of what I've heard so far.

I know I'm getting old now...I want that thing to be quiet, but who can't resist the growl of a well tuned V8...
Maybe I'll just put in a killer sound system with V8 exhaust notes on loop lol

I'm in a good position as I will need to put new tires on my Tacoma next spring anyway, so I will put the Generals that come on the BD on the truck and buy new tires for the Bronco. The Generals are smaller than what the truck currently has, but I think I'll be using it less off road once I have the Bronco.

This ones not too bad. It’s the Flowmaster FlowFX Cat-Back Exhaust System for the 2019 Ford Ranger.
