SUPER happy with our exhaust for the Maverick 2.0 AWD!
We wanted a full 3" system so it won't ever need to be upgraded again, we wanted something with NO drone, wanted to keep it on the quiet side, at least the same ground clearance as stock and lighter weight than the factory. Well we nailed it all.
This is the PROTOTYPE. The finished product will be bent in one piece, so all the weld joints and such that are seen won't be on the final product. This is how the process works, it's built in pieces to get fitment, then that prototype is sent off to our mandrel bender to be copied and bent for production.
The only change to what you see here will be the "tip". The production version will be flush to the rear bumper/fascia and not protrude past at all.
There is ZERO drone from this system. At any cruise speed it is silent, accelerating you can hear the exhaust but it has a super nice deep tone and not a tinny "import" sound.
The truck is equipped with two catalytic converters. One right off the turbo which has a pre and post 02 sensor and then a second one down stream under the drivers seat. We have retained both for emission reasons.
Like the systems Borla and Maganflow offer for the Bronco Sport, ours is also a "cut and clamp". So the only "hard" part of installing this will be cutting the factory system behind the second cat to slide our system on.
Our exhaust will be 100% 304 grade stainless steel, which will out last the life of the truck.
I've posted some videos of the system on the truck, idle/rev and a wide open pull from 0-80 mph.
No tuning so far and the truck is happy with all the mods. The truck here is running our catch can/oil seperator, 3" intake and our 3" cat back.
The system will take about 5 weeks from the time the bender gets this prototype. I plan to drive it a few days to make 100% sure I'm happy with the sound, there are no rattles and the computer stays happy.
I have no idea on cost, we have built it so we can break the system down into a reasonable kit to ship, oversized shipping adds stupid expense.
I haven't been able to dyno test it. All of our testing we do is back to back on the same day on our dyno. Because the stock system needs cut its hard to do a back to back swap and dyno test it the proper way. We WILL do that but haven't yet. I believe the best option for this is to dyno it like it is, then we will have to pull the truck off the dyno (I don't even like to un strap them for testing typically) swap the exhaust and re-load the truck to test again.
It looks like 0-60 is in the 6.2'ish second range in the video.
