Ford Explorer Exhaust Installation Process

Steeda Auto Sports keeps it straightforward with this Thermal Ford Explorer exhaust install, showing just how easy it can be to upgrade your vehicle’s performance. Here’s a quick breakdown:

• Prep Work: The team starts by removing the factory exhaust system, a process that requires basic hand tools and minimal hassle.
• System Fitment: The new exhaust system slides seamlessly into place, with the team highlighting the precision of the design. The mandrel-bent tubing ensures a perfect fit without the need for cutting or welding.
• Final Touches: Once the system is aligned, the hardware is tightened, and the installer confirms a leak-free seal. They also mention the importance of proper hanger placement to avoid unwanted rattles or vibrations. 

The installation couldn’t have been easier – it’s a perfect upgrade for DIYers and enthusiasts alike.

Exhaust Upgrades Improve Performance

After the install, Steeda Auto Sports puts the upgraded Explorer to the test, showing just how much of a difference this system makes on the road. The results speak for themselves: Key performance gains include:

• Horsepower Increase: +12 HP
• Torque Boost: +18 lb-ft
• Weight Savings: Shed 10 pounds compared to the factory exhaust system.
• Sound: A deeper, more aggressive tone that matches the Explorer’s bold personality without introducing cabin drone.

The Explorer ST ran a 5.4 0 to 60 before the new catback exhaust and 0 to 60 in 5.23 afterwards; this is a 2/10 of a second improvement over the factory exhaust.

This exhaust system not only sounds great, but it also delivers noticeable power gains across the board.
