    I haven't been out on the highway much, but I've taken it to 60mph around town. I'd say once speed levels out, it's just as quiet as my stock was. I've got a couple hour drive tomorrow to test it out. I also have an after market CAI on too.

    You can't see the 100W race siren / air horn on the other side. That airhorn function is the same they mount on patrol cars, and when you get stuck behind someone texting at a light, the authoritative tone it emits moves people's asses quick. I disable the siren functions unless I'm working a race though.

    Boom...picked up the radio station immediately after reinstalling OEM antenna. Tossed the new one. Waste of $$.

    I do not recommend.

    Picked it up from the shop today. New 5100s front and rear installed with an alignment. Definitely a lot better now. Ride is much better. Even handling and braking.

    I will try not to call them "Raptor" lights anymore. But I need a name that's better than "I'm dealing with my LED addiction" lights.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xukaj1f6dTE&list=PLLAcz5tobGrI9zClanPWMWmD0SdYQIDlV&index=7

    Also, I've owned 3 Fords in my time. I like the looks of the Raptor, but our Tacos will still be running a long time after those are gone.
