2016 side exit exhaust (rear muffler delete)

[nonsense]

Looks so much better than factory. That's something that's bothered me about the ecoboost Expeditions from the day they released. The factory exhaust looks like a really cheap backyard hack job, and your backyard hackjob looks better than factory

That looks great J Ski.

Looks good bud

Dammit...seeing how yours turned out is making me consider this mod as well . Excellent job

Any drone at all since removing the resonator?

We take long highway cruises in the summer and that's my concern. I don't want to hear any extra noise in the cabin.

 

[JExpedition07]

No drone on my 5.4L and I don’t have a resonator

I'm so considering doing this. Get out and drive that thing Jski and give us some feedback. I have to be tinkering with my rides all the time and this is the perfect little project for the upcoming weekend

Ok so took it for a drive today around the city and up to 60mph. Only sound difference was at start up and WOT. Nice throaty sound, not that Honda Civic crap. Several people have already asked me what kind of exhaust system I have and are surprised when I tell them what I did. I hear my tire drone more than the exhaust at highway speeds

 

[J Ski]

Haven’t done a cold start yet so here’s one from this morning. Love how this thing sounds now

Love the design. Resembles my '07 OEM setup. I did something similar on my '02 Explorer because it melted the tires of a bicycle on a rear carrier. Just a 90° section welded on and cut back in increments until it looked good.

Any way to do this and retain the rear muffler you can see? Not sure I want any "growl" out of this truck, I get my dose of that with intake and exhaust on my little S2000. I kinda like the limousine drive in the biggie where I can actually hear the radio!

So you want a side exit but still have that rear muffler?

Your 07 didn’t have a rear muffler, just sayin

Nice job, and interesting to hear. I prefer a quiet ride, but what you've got there is kind of nice. Nice of you to take the time to post all of this for us....

Sounds like a Buick Grand National - the turbo 3.8 V6 from the 80's. Nice!

I too am interested in doing this. Can you post a video of either revving it up when parked or a 0-60 run?

I will after I get over this stomach flu I’ve got

Can you do a video of it doing a burn out or a 80-160 mph acceleration, or maybe some midnight drifting to see how it sounds?

Do it! Do it! Do it!
