Hey everyone! Greg from CARiD.com and welcome back to the shop.
And in today’s video you and I are taking a closer look at a performance exhaust system
for all of you F150 owners who want to get some more growl out of your EcoBoost engine.
It comes from one of the best exhaust brands in the business, and this is the Magnaflow
stainless steel Cat-Back Exhaust System, with dual same side exit.
So in this video guys I’m going to break down every single aspect of this cat-back
exhaust system from Magnaflow, including its materials, sound enhancement, horsepower bump, warranty,
and even installation, so let’s get started.
So here it is, the Magnaflow stainless steel cat-back exhaust for all 2015 to 2018 Ford
F150 trucks with either the 2.7L or 3.5L EcoBoost engine.
This system is perfect for the F150 owner who’s trying to get a few extra ponies out
of their engine, along with a performance-oriented sound.
Now let’s go ahead start things off by looking at the construction of this Magnaflow cat-back.
Now like I said earlier, this entire cat-back is constructed using stainless steel, but
not just any stainless steel.
Magnaflow uses 409 stainless, which works particularly well for exhausts, given its
high chromium content as well as its corrosion resistance.
So not only does it look good, but it also last the lifetime of your truck.
In fact, Magnaflow’s warranty is lifetime to the original purchaser of the vehicle where
the system was originally installed.
But we all know that the reason you buy a performance exhaust is for the increase in
both power and sound.
Magnaflow uses 3-inch mandrel bent tubing throughout the entire system for the highest
exhaust flow possible.
And that tubing goes right into their performance muffler for that distinctive Magnaflow sound.
Magnaflow cannot quote an exact horsepower boost, for this exhaust system they estimate that you should see about
a 10% jump in output.
Out of all their cat-back systems, this MF series is more on the moderate side when it does
come to sound.
It’s certainly going to wake up your EcoBoost engine, but it’s also subtle at idle and normal
driving, so you won’t have any nasty drone.
But when you do lay into it, you will hear that amazing performance grunt.
I would personally recommend this particular exhaust to any F150 owner looking for something a
little bit louder than stock, but also quieter than your full-blown race exhaust.
Alright, now that we have all these features covered let’s talk about the installation.
Let me start by saying this is an easy bolt-on application that you can do in your own garage
using basic hand tools.
I would say all said and done it should take you a few hours to get this bolted up if you’re
doing it on your back.
The trickiest part might be getting the truck up high enough to give you room to work.
The first step is removing your stock exhaust, which is just a matter of loosening the band
clamp after the cat, then removing the exhaust system from the hangers.
With that out of the way, install the muffler assembly to the cat, and then working your way to the
back of the truck with the over-axle pipe and then the tail pipe.
Keep all the connections loose at first.
With everything in place, make your clearance adjustments if necessary, then tighten down all the clamps.
Check for leaks, and then it’s time to get your truck out on the road and start enjoying a new sound
and feel of your Magnaflow Cat Back.
Well everyone that’s going to wrap up my review today of Magnaflow’s stainless
steel cat-back exhaust.
