Since the gen2 raptor came out and spd released the 3” true dual downpipes I always wanted a set for my 2014. I contacted spd and was told they wont fit without heavy modification so came across a set for $200cad which was a no brainer and the challenge was accepted. Luckily one of my good friends works at a ford dealer so we compared the two truck in the air one evening.
The day before the exhaust 2 days before the exhaust shop appointment we decided to fit them and they fit. We couldn’t raise them full so the portion that goes along the trans cross member hung a bit lower then it. This was caused by the upstream o2 placement so to make it work we heated and bent the hangers on downpipes so they would fit in the trans hanger mount which gave the o2’s enough room until the exhaust shop. So it looked like a set of long tubes and it could of been left that way but i wanted it to fit like it should.
I took it to the exhaust shop and they repositioned the o2’s slightly, capped off the original o2bungs so the pipes can still be used on a new gen ecoboost. They loosened the downpipes at the turbos and were able to get them positioned where they should be and put new hangers on. From there they ran stainless 3” pipe with mandrel bends from front to back with no step downs it 3” the whole way with a magnaflow x-pipe and 2 vibrant 3” ultra quiet resonators. They also notched the rear bumper out on each side for the tips. I will be adding the humps like the new limited above the tips and body working the bumper to fit them.
Really minimal modification had to be done
Still have to go back once everything settles to have the final adjustments and all the piping polished up
If anyone has any questions feel free to ask or inbox me.
