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.

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.
