How does the 2.7L Sound and Any Plans for Exhaust/Muffler Changes?

[Erock]

I probably shouldn’t say it... but man I wish folks would quit putting exhaust tips on vehicles... they don’t sound good... they don’t sound powerful... they’re just loud. Just my opinion, not trying to offend anyone.

If it doesn’t sound like this I don’t want to hear it.

It’s true though, they sound like ass.

I went to watch a Hoonicorn video to wash the sound of that F150 outta my ears.

Ford went the next step on the new 3.5 Raptor and built a "horn" in the exhaust to try and balance and improve the sound. I loved the 5.0L coyote sound, I love the 2.7 power and efficiency more. For me, my 2.7 (if that's what I actually get, pending commodity restraints) will stay quiet. I get loving the sounds of particular powertrains. I think we often equate sound with power too, so quiet "seems" less powerful.

Im into a 2.3 at this point im not too worried about sound as much as i want every bit i can squeeze out of it.

A slightly louder exhaust does make it easier to drive a manual imo as i dont have to look at tach.

Plenty of aftermarket options for the 2.7l on the F150. I disagree that they ALL sound awful. Ford is also offering ford performance options as late availability.

I personally don't love the overly loud exhaust systems out there, but something that sounds less turbo-ie would be my preference. The 2.7 F150 is very turbo sounding. Even the new 2021 that I test drove a few weeks ago. But I am bias to the v8 sound

For me, I want to change out to a dual exhaust for the aesthetic of it.

Watch the video on this thread. They Rev the engine on a 2.7l with the video camera looking at the tailpipe. Sound included. This was posted yesterday.

Unless it's a V8 (or bigger), any mods to the exhaust makes me think you've watched too many Fast & Furious movies, and thought they were way too legit

at the 3:00 mark or so.
That way the rest of you don't have to listen to the current pop-country.

The 2.7L will likely just be quiet stock like the F-150, sadly, I've not heard any good sounding 2.7L's with mods yet. I'd given up hope for the Bronco aftermarket exhaust. However with the new Raptor reveal, they made the 3.5L sound good, so it is possible, looks like it will take some equal length exhaust and some X pipe placement to the rear, but I'm assuming some aftermarket company will be able to copy the layout. I'd be happy if I can make mine sound like the new Raptor.

just say no

There are a lot of great sounding 4 cylinders and 6 cylinders out there. They all have carburetors on them and no turbos.
Keep your bronco quiet and let your driving skills and great looking rig do the talking.

I have a borla atak on my 335 and it sounds like Zeus' chariot when the taps get opened. why does this sound so damn ricey? oof.

Because an I6 can still sound good. A V6 never can. Well, the Jaguar 90 degree V6 sounds okay, but that's it.
