So I kind of made a bunch of assumptions without clicking into the link. Another thing I noticed was that I automatically assumed this was Borla, since they partner with FP on many of their exhausts. But it isn't. Its unbranded, or "FP branded". Nope. You don't get to charge that kind of premium for an unbranded exhaust.

My money would still be on the Magnaflow if I could get one for south of $700. But the $900 they currently go for is still too rich for my blood.

As a last note, never get an exhaust replacement on a GDI 4 banger turbo that replaces the resonator. The resonator is what helps nullify that awful low rpm drone that makes your engine sound like a tractor on a cold start.

Are you serious? If you can prove that they are using your image in an advertisement, without your express permission, I’d definitely call a lawyer. You may be entitled to some compensation.

it’s one thing to simply post your image online. It’s another to post it as an advertisement for a product.


EDIT: nvrmnd. That's not an ad. Its an article. That's diffferent.
Oh it’s definitely my photo. I imagine I signed away any rights to photos when I signed up on here or they screenshotted it off a recent post of mine on Reddit.

Even when my hearing was good, I never liked the noise of a loud exhaut. The only exception were the straight pipes on my motorcylce, because folks hear motorycycles better than they see them.

My son-in-law had a noisy air filter on his F-150 and his wife made him take it off becau she couldn't talk going up hil or accelerating. Women civilize us.

FYI It’s the Ford Authority link I posted that has the article on the exhaust system and I pasted the pic from that article (it is not a bronco sport forum article)

How about new front and back bumpers that actually increase approach and departure angles and give more clearance so we can run 33s? Now thar would be good news!!!

Haha! I experienced the same thing when I put one on my f150 5.0. Man that thing was loud, especially pulling the camper. Took it off and sold it soon after. Happy wife....happy life....

You can use the money you get from selling your engine cover......and have enough left over to get a CAI as well! Win-Win! :crackup:
Yea boy, that's the ticket!

Now waiting for the engine cover to sell.

Running a special on the engine cover...anyone can buy it at $1150.00. I'll throw in the worlds smallest juicer too.

This was tested pretty thoroughly and found to be true in only very specific circumstances. Generally speaking, even the very loudest motorcycles cannot be heard inside a moving car with the windows rolled up if the bike is beyond 10m behind the car.

And so do helmets. Most bikers I would see (when I owned a motorcycle) with loud pips rode without a helmet. Never got that.
