Switched to side exit exhaust

[MidwestBoater]

Over Christmas break I finally made the change to side exit exhaust. I used (2) stainless band clamps,a stainless 16 gauge 45 degree bend, an adjustable stainless exhaust hanger, and a stainless 12" long 3" to 4" clamp on dynomax exhaust tip. I flipped the frame mounted factory exhaust mount around backwards to meet up better with the adjustable exhaust hanger. All of the parts were from Summit racing.

No more exhaust in my face while hooking up the boat trailer, no more exhaust in the cabin when the vent windows are open at highway speeds, and it has just a slight amount of grumble now, which actually sounds pretty good.

Also, be-warned that the OEM resonator/tailpipe assembly was a bit of a pain to get off, I ended up lowering the spare, removing the heat shield, and going at it with my air hammer.. I was careful not to damage it though so I can put it back on if/when I sell it or trade it in.

My 2007 Expedition came with a side exhaust.

Many of us have 15-17’s, that have a single rear exit straight out the back. This is for us. Thanks for the comment...

Sure. I marked off the parts that I didn't use for this.

Awesome! Gives a good roadmap for the rest of us!

Now to look for a Black Tip that is the same, and I will get mine on order!

This is the one I plan on using but will likely do a VHT high temp overcoat.

I have had all the parts in my Amazon wish list for awhile now. Just no spare cash to toss at it.

thanks - just ordered the parts. been wanting to do this for a while!

This is awesome! Thanks for the detailed info. Going to do this soon.

Did mine this morning. Waiting for the hanger to come in the mail and I’ll wrap it up.

An elbow with a 60 degree bend would be better than the 45 imo, but they are hard to find.

Update on sound/noise difference after this mod. I cannot tell any difference inside the truck (at least from the drivers seat). It does have a slight rumble at idle that I can hear from the outside as others have mentioned.

Maybe work on installing the fake engine noise generator the F-150s have?

I will take no natural sound over that crap! I have it in my Edge. I can turn it off via FORSCAN but it turns off noise canceling also.

Haha there you go!

I did it for the cosmetic difference as the stock setup was truly an engineering afterthought.

I just did this today. Thanks for the parts list. I still have to adjust it a hair after some heat cycles, but this is what I did:

Looks good. Never even thought of someone doing this. We are planning to buy an EcoBoost EL next year and will definitely keep this in mind. I always thought they looked odd with the single outlet in the back.

No I took the rear resonator off at the clamp and did a 45* into a corsa style tip

Now I see, Cell phone screen made it look like the Muffler was there. I like that look now that I see it on a bigger screen!
