New GPF-Compatible Exhaust for the Ford Maverick EcoBoost

New GPF-Compatible Exhaust for the Ford Maverick EcoBoost

The Ford Maverick has revitalized the compact truck market, and as manufacturing evolves alongside strict emissions standards, the recent introduction of the Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF) on newer models presented a new hurdle for the aftermarket exhaust industry.

Is Your Maverick GPF-Equipped?

If you're not sure of your engine type, or if your Maverick utilizes this updated technology, the easiest way to find out is to pop the hood and closely look at your emissions sticker. If the sticker explicitly mentions "GPF," you have one, and this new Thermal R&D system is just the upgrade you've been looking for to wake your truck up.

Made Exclusively for GPF-Equipped Mavericks

Factory Gasoline Particulate Filters (GPFs) inherently restrict exhaust flow and mute your vehicle’s natural exhaust note. While many aftermarket brands settle for bottlenecked performance and compromised sound to navigate this, we refuse to cut corners. Our engineering team went back to the drawing board and rebuilt this system from the ground up, designing them to work around the GPF.

Instead of just slapping an adapter onto our existing Maverick setup, we built an entirely new system uniquely dedicated to the GPF platform. If your Maverick has a GPF installed, you'll get the same streamlined bolt-on installation process, the same uncompromised performance, and the exact same aggressive sound as the non-GPF models.

Maverick GPF Exhaust System Specs and Options

Our all-new GPF exhaust systems, custom made for the 2025+ Ford Maverick models equipped with 2.0L EcoBoost engines, are officially available and shipping today.

  • Pipe Sizes: Depending on your specific horsepower goals and tuning needs, piping diameters are available in 2.5” and 3” configurations.
  • Models: AWD, Lobo, Tremor, and FWD fitments available.
  • Fit: Bolt-on system, no cutting or welding required - since the front pipes connect after the catalytic converters, emissions equipment stays untouched.
  • Tips: To completely customize your rear end, we offer 5 tip options, including black ceramic coating.

Why Thermal R&D? Deep Tone. Zero Drone.™

When you choose to upgrade with Thermal R&D, you're investing in our proprietary Drone-Free True Helmholtz Technology. This advanced acoustic design means our exhaust systems reliably deliver a rich, aggressive exterior growl without ever creating the annoying cabin drone that plagues inferior systems. You can finally have a high-performance exhaust and still comfortably converse or enjoy music at highway speeds. Unlike the competition, you get Deep Tone. Zero Drone.™

Additionally, every single Thermal R&D system is proudly made using precision mandrel bends and premium T304 stainless steel:

  • Marine-grade stainless is highly resistant to intense heat and vigorously stands up to corrosion in the harshest climates.
  • Mandrel-bent designs are a step above the cheap exhaust systems that use crush-bent tubing, an outdated process which pinches the pipe and ruins exhaust flow.

Whether you're driving a new Maverick or a unique model that other exhaust companies may consider too niche, Thermal R&D is here to bring you uncompromising sound and performance. We proudly back all our systems with a lifetime warranty, so buy with confidence and order online today!
