...won't even need them for your area!
There is room above the exhaust actually if it was AWD. Hard to picture - but those are in threads to see it.
You may mean the resonator - GPF wasn't going on the hybrid from the reports - maybe some states?
And I don't think of Texas as being one of them...
I’m sure the Ford Performance Exhaust would work fine. It is made for the the MY 2025 & 2026 that have GPF’s.
Almost all (all?) aftermarket catbacks mount well behind the CAT/GPF. Can’t imagine they would throw a code - but may be illegal in CA.
I think the GPF is just another reason to do...
Sad to say I have the GPF on my truck. Some of the exhausts on the market won’t work with it according to the manufacturers. They say it will throw a code. I contacted a few manufacturers of GPF deletes just like the O2 deletes on the market but no plans on making one for the Mav yet. I’m...
I would never do any engine mods between the throttle body and the CAT/GPF. Could be a warranty issue…
However, Catbacks & CAI’s are fair game. My catback is installed and the S&B CAI will soon be available. In production & soon to launch (Summer):
Amsoil is a great product.
I have used the oil and their filters in everything I own for over 25 years with ZERO issues.
I change the oil every year or 15k miles whichever comes first, numerous vehicles with well over 100k miles over the years.
Thanks for the data.

...and a little background on this truck.
This is one of the early 2025 Maverick 2.0 EcoBoost MPC engines produced before Ford started adding the GPF. The truck currently has 32,092 miles, so in my opinion the engine is still relatively new and just finishing its break-in period.
Oil history...
Yes, the catalytic converter is downstream of the turbo. GPF, if equipped, is downstream of the cat. Since a turbo extracts heat from the exhaust, the EB 2.0L will typically run cooler at the tailpipe than the naturally aspirated engine like the 2.5L Atkinson.
Either way - after an extended...
I wouldn't worry about driving at 70mph during "break in" at that speed you should be just under 2K rpms. You might try cycling through the different drive modes at 70 to see how the sound changes, if it doesn't then it's not an exhaust system issue.
...instead that I had to add a resonator to make it drivable.
You might already know that Magnaflow is known for its low key rumble. I’m going to consider replacing my still too loud & drony aftermarket setup with the new Magnaflow for the refreshed EB. They offer a system for with or without GPF:
No GPF.
I knew they were coming and checked underneath before purchase. Although I think they are a good idea for improving air quality for breathing humans - so I acted a bit self serving in my choice. Did not want the so called extra complexity & maintenance.
Maverick77, the OP, does not have a GPF. Like me he checked before purchase.
When I cut my exhaust (right about where the mystery hanger is) to install a catback - I was surprised that the long piece of pipe leading to the catalytic converter was unsupported.
Luckily it had a flexible mesh...
Maybe Mavericks with the heavy GPF will need additional support? Still need to add a new hanger connection to the unibody?
Those without the GPF but have the “phantom” hanger on the pipe only will be “collectible”:)
Sorry - didn’t realize I was preaching to the choir:)
My EB’s first 80 miles were driven by a “fetcher” too. Probably in Lobo Mode trying to drift it! Oh well, what can you do.
Hopefully your drone is something simple like tires that will quiet down after a bit of wear.
