Hat's off to you gentlemen! All the effort, time and sweat has certainly paid off, everything from the technical talk, the production value (serious level up Pauly) storytelling to the finished product. Should be very proud of yourselves!
I used to own one of these. Had it for 8 months. I loved it so much but got a 79 at a price I couldn’t say no to (brand new new shape V8, done 5” and coil conversion). But now I can’t unhear what everyone used to say to me, it sounds like a V6 commodore haha. Amazing car though still. You guys have made it sound good now 🎉
Big BIG credit to you boys! All the time, money and sacrifice you’ve given to achieve this goal that has taken up 12 months of your lives and you’ve done it! It sounds amazing boys well done!! As a raptor owner suspect an order from me very soon!! Congrats fellas 🍻
We saw your oder come thru at 6:01! haha! thank you very much for the support mate, we know you are going to absolutely love the full system, it is honestly outrageous. Being able to creep home in Quiet after being a pest is fantastic!
Never in my life have I watched such a long video about an exhaust system. Congratulations guys for not only designing and making an exhaust system that sounds so much better than stock but also gives a nice power bump. Congratulations too on making a video that certainly kept me and hopefully many others watching intensely. I honestly don't think I've been so attentive to a video since starting to watching close encounter of the third kind on pirate vhs in '78, and then placing my hand under the sofa and discovering my uncles VHS porn stash. Hmm😏 Mary Millington.
Definitely googled Mary Millington for research. Thank you for your kind words mate, that makes it all worth it when we just wanted to throw it up for sale as soon as it was tacked together. We wanted to preemptively answer everyone's questions, and show much much consideration goes into every component. Really glad some one enjoyed watching it. Thanks for watching it all the way thru!!!
To get rid of that weedeater sound and get it closer to sounding like a trumpet you've gotta equalising the lengths. That's what they did to the F8x M3/4 to get that 3rd order note synonymous with 6 cylinder engines. I know its hard to do with this chassis but it can be done
Currently have the newer Tickford turbo back system (not the manta made one). Whilst it sounds awesome and much gruntier than standard, I am a fool easily parted with his money and love this sound from yours. I had the FF tips when I first got my Raptor and love your work!
Hey mate! Interesting, we've only seen the Manta assembled units as yet! haha mate don't feel bad, we're the same as you! Thanks for watching and the support
Rob Herrod has explained that only a cat back system can be used on Herrod pack Raptors. They won't retune to suit the dump pipes and also won't cover any warranty issues that arise from having the full system. Think it's time for you to get an F-150 ECU and a proper tune mate.
@@hamoudy07 Yes I know about this and will probably go this way, as for the 150, not sure, Had V8's my whole life and I am really enjoying something very different. I have a Herrod tune and a process west air intake and piping kit, just need to do exhaust now and I am done
@powderskier5547 I don't think you understood what I meant mate. Using the F-150 ECU out of the Ecoboost V6 model allows the Raptor to be tuned as the factory ECU is heavily locked down. I will be going this route when I finish all the bolt on mods on my Raptor.
Loved the video guys. I think a large majority of folks would be interested in the mid pipe with tips system. Would you be willing to make a video showcasing that setup with the 3 different valve modes?
Hello guys at Fabulous, did an amazing job on the product but the the sound in the video is what it is in really. I have heard it in person which was just the resonator delete and it awesome so imagine the full catback so if you guys can make another video with better sound quality cause you product is awesome and the video doesn’t justify the sound. I’ll be ordering my soon thanks you guys again
Fuck Yeah Congrats and Well Done Nath and Team and The Team from Beaudesert You guy's Rock.. My 200 series has a 3 inch stainless system and I have never heard a Better sounding 200 series especially Now that I've had it Tuned 900Nm OMFG what a Note.. Godspeed Lads ❤❤❤❤
Hey mate, The Fabulous Fab units retain the OEM mounting locations, angles & sizes, so if your DM dump and front pipe bolts to the OEM mid section, yes! If you're not sure or want to confirm, feel free to send us an email at info@fabulousfab.com.au and we can arrange to check it out in person or with photos. Thanks for watching!
Awesome work guys sounds great 🤘🏾 Do you think there will be som turbo upgrades or increase the boost in the near future ?? would love to no..I reckon u could get that v6 singing
It’s cool what you’re doing but all you have to do is look at what the F truck is doing with the raptor they have to be equal length that’s the big thing with a V6 it would be super cool if somebody could make a trombone exhaust for the Ranger raptor
Really instead of an x pipe the exhaust coming out of the right hand side needs to build some length to make up for the extra distance that the left-hand side has to travel Ford does it by taking the right side exhaust and looping it around the left side exhaust with the exact difference in length between the two Making them equal length
It's not all the same. Unfortunately, we have a choice of 4cylinder turbo diesel or the V6 Twin Turbo Raptor but only limited to 300 units of the V6 for the entire Philippines. So good luck trying to source one here. I might just go home to the States and buy one there and ship it back to Manila.
My Herrod tune made 295kw at the hubs, a the time I thought that was a bit low, but I will be getting one of these exhausts for sure and btw it ran a 12.7 1/4
Hey mate! It always makes me laugh seeing what good 1/4 times these achieve in relatively stock trim for their size. Ah dyno's can be so situational, the idea of using the one dyno, one car, but in 3 different configurations was more to show the % increase we gained. We're looking forward to seeing a HERROD tune paired with our system! Thanks for watching mate really appreciate it!
The American ranger raptor and the rest are different actually. Not sure how different, but enough for a considerable amount of things to have compatibility issues
@wizzylizzy69 I appreciate that but I don't know what the factory BHP is at the wheels or if it's even measured at the wheels. So much vehicle info out there confuses HP and BHP. I'm assuming the uk version of 292 bhp was actually measured at the wheels so 360 is a great bump but if that's their version. Sorry just to... Because some brochures list 292hp and 237bhp whilst others list 292bhp 🤦🏻
@@wizzylizzy69 Yes sadly we get bent over every time when it comes to performance. 400 is one of the attractions of the Raptor, it rumoured that there may be a V8 in '25, a NA V8 would be a dream even over here, better sounding and easier to tweak. Thanks for the info though, appreciated. 🤝🏻 🍻
Search f150 spd trombone exhaust. it uses equal length for the sound we're used to hearing like nissan v6. The current gen 3 f150 raptor does this from factory.
Hey mate, we might need to subtitle Australian accents in future! Nathan blowing a diff added considerable months to the development timeline, we copped a lot of flack for how long the product was taking, and we liked to blame the guys who helped us make it, rather than Nathan blowing the diff. So it was just Nathan asking Jamie how come this project took 12 months as a joke.
Great video, awesome to hear about the development and engineering. Exhaust fit and finish look amazing. But I'm let down buy the sound. You stated you wanted to make it sound like a GTR. What also recently switched to sounding very close to an R35 GTR is the F150 Raptor with the 3.5 TT V6. Because of the "Trombone" Ford added to make the pre muffler and pre crossover pipes equal length. SPD Exhaust makes a Trombone pipe to be fitted on older 3.5tt F150 Raptors, and that pipe does change the sound tone to R35 GTR like. Your exhaust has a cleaner tone down low, than stock. But still hits a rasp point that doesn't sound good. Add the downpipes and that rasp point is all over the top end. You made a loud exhaust, not a great sounding exhaust.
The Exhaust is absolute quality and every bit of proper engineering parts and materials along with great fab work - BUT the sound is pure garbage - no fault of the exhaust.... but there really is no way to make a V6 sound good... the only way to get any real difference is going to be good turbo's seen a couple raptors with proper garret turbos and complete game changer on sound and note verse the choppy stock turbos
I test drove one from dealer ship had car dealer in car with me got to the airport carpark put in park we talked about the car then put in reverse went put in drive ohhh stuck in reverse......no shit the Car was towed back to dealer
Wow I’ll give it to you. You must of put just as much work into that sales pitch. Because in the end close your eyes and all you hear is a P plater in a VN commodore. Still sounds like crap and I’ll bet ya a dollar a Highway Patrol is coming down on that Baja exhaust like a ton of bricks !!!!!!
Exhaust looks unreal. But also, the quality of this video is something else. Great job team 🤠
Thanks mate!
Really good video,
Really good marketing,
Fuckn great exhaust!
Well done boys!!

Great video!
Thanks a lot mate!
great effort guys s2
Going to have to buy a raptor now so I can fit this exhaust

Good on ya lads
Thank you for watching and for the support mate!
It sounds so much better! Reminds me of a GTR R35
I'm not sure that's a good thing either 😅
@@PlaydohDookie depends
Not close to a gtr. a ford explorer st with an exhaust sound closer to a gtr with a higher pitch note and more equal v6 sound
I’ve got the same wheels, and I’m so getting dem tyres
They look great don't they!
Great job!

Enhanced wet fart V6 petty sound. Nice job!
why did you guys not make the downpipes equal length into the the x pipe. thats the only thing still holding it back. would sound significantly better
When will these drop? Sounds so goo
Available for the US?
You guys owe me a 10second car
You fried those piston rings, not us!

If this eliminates the mang. Im in 😂
Mang very much eliminated!
Beings a modular system, Will the front section bolt right up to my Dynamotive dump pipes (i already have your rear 4” tips)
If it bolts to the oe system then it will yea.

haha! It makes us smile driving it every day now! Thanks for watching and the support mate!
Headers?
No issues whatsoever fitting this to euro spec raptors that have petrol particulate filters?
What lights are those on Nels car? 52:53
Awesome work guys sounds great 🤘🏾
Do you think there will be som turbo upgrades or increase the boost in the near future ?? would love to no..I reckon u could get that v6 singing

Exactly the right way to do it. I guess not many fabricators know this.
Any idea how much to ship and import costs into Thailand
will there be one for the 2.0 NextGen raptor ?
How did you break an axle?
You lads gonna sell the full exhaust system ?

Where can we get our ECU’s tuned ?.
Or do you have a F150 ecu??? ???

how much boys
$7900!!!
plus 1k fitting. Almost 9k is crazy money!!
The American ranger raptor and the rest are different actually. Not sure how different, but enough for a considerable amount of things to have compatibility issues
