Ford Ranger Raptor: unleashing the EcoBoost, the complete exhaust system guide

The Ranger Raptor is the race-bred pick-up built for the road: Fox suspension, a 292 hp EcoBoost V6, a truly exceptional character. Its factory voice is decent, but the character demands more: our exhaust brings the sound up to the level of the chassis. Here, point by point, is how to choose the exhaust for your Ford Ranger Raptor V6, and what each option really changes.

The EcoBoost: the Ford turbo that responds instantly

The EcoBoost engine in your Ranger Raptor is a modern turbo with real temperament: sharp response, generous torque and an extremely popular tuning base in the Ford community. Its factory sound, calibrated to meet the standards, does not tell of that temperament: it is the first thing the community modifies, and for good reason.

The ROG exhaust gives the EcoBoost a full, snarling voice, with crisp crackles on the overrun with the valves open, and the factory discretion with the valves closed.

What makes up the exhaust on your Ford Ranger Raptor V6

Here is what the ROG exhaust replaces, and where the sound is shaped.

How the exhaust system is laid out From left to right: the engine, then the ROG cat-back with its valved silencer and tips.ROG cat-back: the complete exhaustEngine
Valves closed: the gases take the long way through the silencer and the cabin stays calm.Valves open: no more detour, the sound comes out unfiltered.Schematic only; the actual routing depends on the vehicle.

The cat-back is the complete exhaust system

It is everything you can see under your Ford Ranger Raptor V6, all the way to the tips: pipes, silencer, valves. Routing, silencer, valves: this is where the sound is shaped. The engine and the ECU stay as they left the factory.

Your Ford Ranger Raptor V6 in figures

What an exhaust changes straight away is the sound, the engine's breathing and the weight at the rear. For more power, add an ECU remap.

Published manufacturer and Stage 2 figures.

With or without an ECU remap, the exhaust fits and works. But it is an ECU remap at an approved tuning centre that truly unlocks your Ford Ranger Raptor V6, and that is what we recommend.

Let's be frank: the exhaust alone brings a moderate gain. The EcoBoost, on the other hand, is one of the best Stage 2 bases in its class: with an ECU remap at an approved tuning centre, the figures above are widely documented by a huge community.

Configuring your exhaust, step by step

3 choices, in the same order as the product page configurator.

  1. Step 1 of 3: Material: stainless steel or titanium

    For your Ford Ranger Raptor V6, the exhaust costs €2,490 in stainless steel and €2,990 in titanium.

    304 stainless steel

    2 490 €

    Weight
    Baseline
    Sound
    Full and rounded

    Durable, corrosion-resistant, with a rounded, full sound: the most popular option.

    Titanium

    2 990 €

    Weight
    Around 40% lighter
    Sound
    Metallic, crystal-clear

    For the same design, it weighs around 40% less than stainless steel. A more metallic note at high revs and a look all of its own, from brushed to blued.

    Both materials age well: 304 stainless steel copes with winter and salt, and titanium does not rust. Stainless steel or titanium: what really changes.

  2. Step 2 of 3: Valves: ROG remote or factory control

    Two ways to control the valves on your Ford Ranger Raptor V6.

    ROG remote

    ROG remote for opening and closing the valves

    The simplest solution: a control unit in the boot and a remote, open or closed at the press of a button, whatever mode you are in. A question while fitting? We will get back to you.

    Factory control

    • Only for vehicles fitted with factory valves
    • Controlled by the drive modes

    Does your vehicle have factory valves? The exhaust keeps their existing control: the drive modes operate the valves, as before, with no added electronics.

    On a long journey, what matters is the absence of drone at a steady speed. With the valves closed, the exhaust keeps the cabin calm; the show is still there whenever you ask for it. More about exhaust drone.

  3. Step 3 of 3: Tips: the visual signature

    Match the tips to the style of your Ford Ranger Raptor V6, understated or bold. A particular finish in mind? Send us a photo and we will look at it together.

The ROG sound signature on the EcoBoost

Our exhaust gives the EcoBoost a full, snarling voice: an assertive sporty tone, an audible turbo, and crisp crackles on the overrun with the valves open. With the valves closed, the factory discretion returns in full for everyday driving.
