As they did for the current S550 generation of the Ford Mustang, the go-fast experts at Roush Performance have created an active-valve exhaust system for the 2015-2018 Ford F-150, allowing drivers to exercise control over just how much growl is coming out of their trucks with the flip of a switch. The Roush Active Cat-Back Exhaust is listed at $1,899.99 on the company's website, and will fit any non-short-cab 2015-2018 Ford F-150 powered by Ford's 3.3L Ti-VCT V6, 2.7L EcoBoost V6, 5.0L Coyote V8, or 3.5L EcoBoost V6 - so long as it isn't a Raptor.
The kit comes with a toggle switch that installs in the cabin for immediate switching between fully-closed and fully-open valves, allowing the driver to quiet down the exhaust note for late-night and early-morning drives through the neighborhood, or uncork it for spirited romps on the freeway. Even with the valve closed, drivers will notice a nice, throaty exhaust sound that's more aggressive than stock, thanks to a Roush-designed high-flow muffler. Gasses exit through a pair of 4-inch stainless tips with the Roush logo etched in, and the tubing is made of T-304 stainless, so it ought to last.
Just in case, the cat-back exhaust kit comes with a limited lifetime warranty.
Above, you can hear the difference for yourself, as a Coyote-powered Ford F-150 demonstrates the sound of the Roush Active Cat-Back Exhaust with the valve at first closed, and then open. For more information, or to place your order, visit RoushPerformance.com.
The giveaway has conjured up tremendous interest.
More fallout from a recent supplier plant fire.
Another quarter, another record for the commercial division.
Albeit, one using a different battery chemistry.
As is the case with the existing model.
