Ford Racing and Borla built a $995 exhaust upgrade for the Ranger Raptor that only swaps two rear sections — and skips the warranty entirely.

Ford wants to make your Ranger Raptor sound angrier — but it will cost you, and it won't fix itself if something goes wrong. For $995, owners get a more aggressive exhaust note and black chrome-tipped outlets measuring 102 mm across. There's a catch, though: the Extreme Exhaust from Ford Racing and Borla isn't a full exhaust system. It only replaces the two rear sections behind the factory pipes.

Don't expect more horsepower. Ford isn't hiding that fact. The new kit, part number M-5200-RRE, fits American-market 2024–2026 Ranger Raptor models. The pieces are made in the USA from 304-grade stainless steel, the tubes are bent without deforming the cross-section, and black chrome-finished dual-wall tips replace the factory matte-black resonated outlets.

Ford promises a sharper tone and a bolder-looking rear end. The installation instructions reveal the real scope of the upgrade better than the marketing does: a technician removes the left and right tailpipes, hangs the new ones on the factory mounts, and clamps them to the existing system. No welding, no touching the mid-section. That means the Ranger Raptor's stock active exhaust — with its Quiet, Normal, Sport and Baja modes — stays the backbone of the whole setup.

Now for the two unpleasant details. The kit carries no Ford Racing warranty. And it can't be used on California roads, since it lacks the state's emissions certification. In the other 49 states, Ford considers the part street-legal when installed correctly. The $995 price doesn't include labor.

The Ranger Raptor itself runs a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 EcoBoost making 405 horsepower and 583 Nm of torque. The new exhaust doesn't touch those numbers. Buyers are paying for sound and styling at the back — not for speed.
