Magnaflow is the only option available now. Borla says coming soon.

Waiting on Corsa

Sucks to wait but makes perfect sense why I couldn’t find much for exhaust for the Braptor.

I'm waiting on AWE or other also....

 

[JetG]

Any idea on potential release dates?

If you're looking for an exhaust upgrade and a performance upgrade, we have high performance catted downpipes from SPD Performance available here at Apollo Optics!

Many of us are waiting for dyno results for these. I'm reasonably sure why this has not been reported - because the gains are negligible or in the noise level vs. run to run (same thing basically). I hope to be proven wrong.

I saw that above and read this article

Gains on the stock tuning will be minimal like seen in the video above. The platform is really tuning limited right now. If we don't ever get real custom tuning, the performance gain per dollar on downpipes is going to be minimal.

The dyno chart above is from SVT Performance, who did in house testing at 5 Star Tuning with the GESI catted option. If you do not go with the GESI cats, you can expect a little less power, but also saving about $800. So there are gains to be had, but as other folks have mentioned, the platform is relatively tuning limited.

That said, neither of these are CARB approved and cannot ship to you in San Diego.

Additionally, despite the fact that these power gains are low, they're still higher than what you'll be getting from any aftermarket cat-back exhaust. The only cat-back available right now is from Magnaflow (which we also have in stock), is $3599...the SPD downpipes give you a nice bump in sound and a little power for less than half the price at $1699.

I have listened to their raptor, its ok, but I am use to loud performance exhausts and the bronco is not getting there lol. I am holding out for an undisclosed non cat version I do agree until the tuning is there, doing FMIC + DP isnt terribly effective atm other then running cooler.

Thanks. However, dyno results here are on a tuned Raptor, not stock. And gains per dollar are outright terrible. I'd also expect run to run variability to be close to the amount of gain.

11 hp/$2800 dollars = 0.004 hp/$

Whipple Tune:

.06 hp/$

Or 16 times, yes 16 times better.

"Debbie Downer", I know, this was supposed to be an exhaust thread not downpipes... Maybe that's splitting hairs, maybe not.

Best of luck on that one haha!

I'll agree the gains aren't great, but they are there nonetheless. But I digress.

The reason I posted the downpipes on this exhaust thread in the first place is because the goal of a cat-back exhaust is more sound. The downpipes will achieve that goal, while also providing a slight boost in power, for less than half the price of the only other option on the market.

Magnaflow Cat-Back Exhaust: $3599
SPD Downpipes: $1699

We carry both of them, I'm just here to provide options.

Appreciate the info Nick… I’m waiting a little longer but this winter #someonetakingmymoney for new exhaust, intercooler, tuning, down pipe etc..
