These OEM silencers force exhaust pulses through dense internal baffles and restrictive internal chambers.

Eliminating the bulky rear canisters reduces weight behind the rear axle, decreases backpressure, and smooths gas flow for improved exhaust velocity. Fabricated with corrosion-resistant T304 alloy, integrated mounting brackets, and polished exhaust tips, this kit bolts directly to the factory mid-section without requiring ECU tuning or causing Check Engine Lights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePair of axle-back exhaust pipes with tips\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMounting hardware as included with the listing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px; min-width: 300px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e2020-2026 Ford Explorer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e3.0L EcoBoost V6 \/ U625\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStock Output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e400 hp \/ 415 lb-ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eReplaces OEM Part #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eB-EXT-MD102\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2020-2026 Ford Explorer 3.0L (ST, Platinum, King Ranch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions \u0026amp; Fitment Warnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the U625 Explorer?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 2020-2026 Ford Explorer equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003e3.0L EcoBoost\u003c\/strong\u003e engine. \u003cstrong\u003eDoes not fit 2.3L EcoBoost I4 or 3.3L V6 hybrid powertrains.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this axle-back muffler delete require an ECU tune?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo PCM recalibration is needed because this kit installs downstream of all catalytic converters and factory oxygen sensors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Ford Caliber\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered for high-output Ford EcoBoost utility platforms, this 304 stainless steel assembly withstands rigorous thermal stress, road salts, and towing demands without cracking or degrading.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68046626554104,"sku":"DS-E4IGEONGT","price":376.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/axle-back-exhaust-for-ford-explorer-2020-2026-3-0l-1.jpg?v=1794267226","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/fr\/products\/axle-back-exhaust-for-ford-explorer-2020-2026-3-0l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
