Maverick exhaust components - Yikes

MY 2022- With 16k on it- Exhaust just looking trashed- My 2004 Honda Element's exhaust system still untouched at 235k miles is in much better shape. What metal type by-product is Ford using ? LOL

Frankly....

Most manufacturers these days are going cheap on paint quality and rust mitigation efforts throughout their vehicles.

What is the glob top left? mud?

About how mine was looking at 32k when I cut it off for the MRT SideKick

Either mud or excess gasket fill from the factory -

Munro talked about this cost cutting on one of their Maverick videos...

How do you sell replacement parts? Make crappy OEM parts.

Mine. Cut-off @ 45K or so, been sitting on the scrap pile for about 7-weeks at this point. BUT, truck is a Texas truck, and the underside gets pressure washed every other wash...

Agree, not the best materials, but where driven is important in looking at underbody corrosion too.

Glad I cut mine off at 200 miles and installed a Thermal R&D stainless catback

Yep, made just long enough for the warranty to last.
That's how they plan on ALL of US buying new ones, evey few years..

For Those of US that keep them, for the duration.. It's the NEW Reality...

Maybe I should save mine for resale instead of cutting it up......
