VRP Valvetronic Exhaust Ford Raptor 3.5L 2017-2022
Select the year of your Ford Raptor:
Improving the sound of the Ford Raptor 3.5L EcoBoost is something every owner wants in their truck. Unlike the older 6.2L V8, the twin turbocharged engine just doesnt have that growl Raptor owners are looking for. Some exhausts try to provide this improved sound with having straight open pipes but all this does is cause immense drone for a daily driver. VR Performance has come up with the best solution for a catback exhaust on the Ford Raptor 3.5L EcoBoost.
To provide Raptor owners with a louder, more free flowing tone when they want it, or have a comfortable cruise on the highway, the VR Performance valvetronic exhaust is the answer. Vivid Racing has been manufacturing and distributing valvetronic style exhausts since 2009. Valvetronic refers to the ability with a flip of a switch or press of a remote button, an electronic valve is operated to change the direction of the exhaust flow. With turbocharged vehicles, you really do not need any restriction. In fact dumping the exhaust right out of the turbochargers would help produce extremely fast turbo spool and increase torque and horsepower. However driving around like this would be obnoxiously loud.
The exhaust has been designed in-house here in Gilbert, Arizona using 3D scanning and modeling techniques. A prototype was built and tested on our own 2020 Ford Raptor with over 10,000 miles of use. The exhaust is made of 304 stainless steel that has been meticulous TIG welded and then bead blasted for a unique finish. The exhaust bolts up to the factory downpipes allowing you to use our system with other components. The complete catback is made of 2 parts with the first section featuring the valvetronic component. From the downpipes, we connect using a OEM size 2.75 inch slip fit connector on the passenger side and donut gasket on the right. The piping then changes to 3 inch for the best possible flow when the valves are open. When the valve is opened, exhaust gases will come right out of the center merged down tube offering an intense sound. When the valve is closed, the exhaust flow continues on to the secondary high flow muffler to keep the sound tame but improved. This muffler connects with slip fit connectors using 2.75 inch piping. The exhaust system is designed to use the OEM rear over axle tip sections. If you are feeling spicy and have an aftermarket rear bumper, you can make some simple turn downs for that trophy truck style!
The valvetronic system is controlled with an electronically controlled valve. This requires running a wire from the exhaust valve, up into the cab of your truck. It is the owner's preference to use the included 12 volt accessory plug or you can wire this directly into ignition power on your fuse box. The valvetronic kit includes 2 remote keyfobs to open or close the valves at your discretion. Each kit includes necessary hardware for installation.
Features:
- Designed using 3D Scanning and Modeling
- Stainless Steel Construction
- Electronically controlled valve to go from Quiet to Loud
- Sandblasted for a unique finish
- Features 2.75 to 3.00 inch piping
- Modular design to work with OEM downpipes and rear section
- Easy Installation
Fitment:
- Ford Raptor Gen 2 2017-2022
Notes:
- You will probably ask but the wiring does not work with Ford OEM upfitter switches. Factory Ford switches are off or on where the electronic valve requires a 3 way switch to work.

What Is VR Performance?
VR Performance is, as the name suggests, the performance division of the Vivid Racing brand. Under the VR Performance line, we offer everything from blow-off valves, shift knobs, and brake lines to lowering links, springs, headers, and complete cat-back exhaust systems. Everything you could possibly need to amp the performance and riding quality of your vehicle is available through the VR Performance store. Born from a passion for going further and getting the most out of our vehicles, the VR Performance line will unleash the true potential of your ride in terms of aesthetics, power, and functionality.
VR Performance Lowering Links
VR Performance is well-known for its high-quality lowering links, which work with your vehicle's factory air suspension to seamlessly lower its ride height. The lowering links are fully adjustable and replace the stock ones which control the air ride. By changing the linkage length of the air ride sensors, this gives you a much more desired ride height in all modes. Best of all, these links snap right in place of the non-adjustable ones and fit in seamlessly for a simple installation process that is also easily reversible. These durable metal lowering links give your ride the perfect lowered look without that pesky wheel gap and delivers a smooth performance with the OEM system. Boasting a rigid construction, this product was made to withstand the elements of both daily and more spirited driving to deliver maximum performance for a long time.
VR Performance Exhausts
VR Performance's latest release of cat-back exhausts is nothing less than exceptional. We offer a series of titanium and stainless-steel variants for a wide range of makes and models. Our highly sought after Valvetronic exhausts are designed to specifically increase the sound and performance of your particular vehicle. Crafted from high-quality materials, these exhausts feature brilliant robotic TIG welding as well as smooth bends to deliver optimal flow and power gains. And, thanks to the cutting-edge Valvetronic design, your OEM valves are reused so you can change the tone of your vehicle with just the push of a button. Electronic valves are placed on the outlet of the muffler which control the sound so you can go from mild to wild in seconds. When closed, the exhaust flow goes through the single outer tip which is quieter. However, when the valve is opened, the exhaust goes straight out to deliver an exhilarating tone that demands attention.
