Ford Exhaust System :: 2003 - Replacing Muffler / Removing Resonator?


Jan 28, 2010

I have an 2003 Explorer 4.0 and I am looking at replacing my muffler. Only problem is I don't know who to go with. I am looking for a mellow tone with minimal interior noise. I have been looking at Flowmaster, Magnaflow & Dynomax although I can't make a decision. I have heard how the 4.0 Ranger sound's on Magnaflows website(sound's OK) aside from all the horrible sound clips floating around that don't have good quality to listen too. I was looking at Flowmaster 50 series Delta Flow and there SUV muffler(a tad thicker than Delta series) but want some feedback on who/what to go with. Also, right before the tailpipe ends, next to the spare tire underneath, there looks to be what looks like a resonator if I am correct on the tailpipe. Can this be removed and replaced with new piping? Will it hurt performance or make the exhaust sound different?

Ford Exhaust System :: Position Of Muffler In The System Affect Performance?

Was just mulling over redoing part of the exhaust system on my truck. As it stands the original y-pipe is still intact but some bozo reduced the rest of the system down to 2.25 inch with an ancient glasspack for a muffler. Maybe he thought it would net some kind of benefit, maybe he was just throwing together parts from his backyard. Either way it's going, I'm planning to keep the Y-pipe but step it up to 3 inch with a Flowmaster chambered muffler and I just suddenly wondered if the position of the muffler in the system affects performance. If I put it directly after the Y-pipe the exhaust pulses would hit it sooner...

Ford Exhaust System :: Loud Pop While Cruising At 60 Mph - Muffler Blowout And Rough Engine

Yesterday, I heard a loud "pop" while cruising at 60mph. Pull into a rest stop and and discovered a hole in the muffler. The engine now idled roughly, but seem to smooth out about 2000 rpm.

Question for the experts: can the loss of a muffler cause the engine to run rough? It's a 460cid in a '77 F350.

Ford Exhaust System :: 1994 F250 - Replacing Exhaust?

I have been thinking about toying with my exhaust. I don't have a crazy amount of money. I got a 94 F250 with the 5.8 liter 351. Heres what I was thinking. Get rid of everything after the cat, and then run a single 3 inch pipe from the cat to a flowmaster 40 series, and then exit either right before the back tire or right after it.

Ford Exhaust System :: Removing Cats - O2 Sensor Will Be Effected?

I am getting my truck back today after all the work that has been done to it over the past 3 weeks, and well, I have always wanted to gut my cats, but have been worried to waste the cats buy gutting them and didnt want to cause a disturbence in the airflow by gutting them, so i figured atleast if i was aching to be illegal and gut them, the least i could do is just remove them, but my question is, will it mess the o2 sensors up? Currently the o2 sensors arnt connected to the cats at all, so my feelings is it wouldn't mess with the truck or would it? I was thinking of just removing the two cats in the true dual, and replacing the segments with pieces of pipe, would that be sufficient?

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2003 - Muffler Delete On Stock Exhaust Sound?

How will a muffler delete on stock exhaust sound? I don't want to remove the cat because I don't want it to be too loud. I want it to sound good but not too much whistle (considering my truck is a 2003 the whistle would be very loud) Should I just to a delete pipe on the stock exhaust, or do a cat-back 4 inch straight pipe? what will sound better? Also doing the cat back exhaust will cost a lot more.. but is it worth it? What I should do.

Prius (Gen 2) :: Exhaust Louder - Water Drip Out From Engine Side Of Resonator

Noticed a louder sound to my exhaust. Cuts out when ice shuts off. Haven't got a good look at the whole exhaust system from underneath but did see water drip out from the engine side of the resonator when the car was warming up. The sound is coming from about midpoint between the taiI pipe and the engine. I suspect the weld at the resonator junction is breaking. Is this common? 2008, Canada, 130000 km.

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Rattle In The Undercarriage - Exhaust Resonator Pipe Replacement?

I had my E in for service today to get her fluids changed and to replace her engine oil with Synthetic finally (second service for her).

I had noticed a rattle in the undercarriage for a few weeks now and assumed it was a common TSB for a heat shield that rattles. As it turns out, it is the resonator pipe that needs to be replaced (under warranty). I've never had to replace one before so hopefully it's just a one-off!

Otherwise, I can already tell she's happy to be filled with some wonderful Synthetic...

Ford Exhaust :: 2006 - Delete Cat Or Muffler?

I've got a 2006 6.0 350 with stock exhaust and am wanting to either delete the cat or the muffler, but not both. I'm curious how each would sound? For example, would deleting the cat make it louder than deleting the muffler, or will one make the turbo whine more audible than the other? Also, is there any benefit to deleting one over the other, performance wise? Oh, I'm not really looking for loud and obnoxious, but more turbo whine wouldn't be too bad .
