Constant exposure to road salt, moisture, and extreme thermal cycling degrades the OEM muffler casing. Internal rust accumulation destroys the factory baffles, leading to excessive exhaust drone, poor scavenging, and exhaust leaks that can skew downstream sensor readings and hurt fuel economy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis replacement stainless muffler is engineered to exceed factory tolerances with heavier-gauge materials and reinforced weld points at critical junctions. Designed as a true bolt-on unit, the internal baffling matches the exact acoustic and flow dynamics of the Duratec engine, ensuring correct exhaust gas velocity. It includes essential piping, the main muffler, and high-temperature gaskets to guarantee a leak-free flange seal without requiring any custom pipe bending or fabrication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003e2009-2012 Ford Escape\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003eDuratec (2.5L\/3.0L) \/ CD2 Platform\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStock Output\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003e240 hp \/ 223 lb-ft (Approx)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px;\"\u003e28792, 52508, 60005, 2103-480041, ZZD1-40-500B, 44924, 2103-480073, ZZDA-40-200, 54803\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2009 Ford Escape (2.5L \/ 3.0L) - NO HYBRID MODELS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2010 Ford Escape (2.5L \/ 3.0L) - NO HYBRID MODELS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2011 Ford Escape (2.5L \/ 3.0L) - NO HYBRID MODELS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2012 Ford Escape (2.5L \/ 3.0L) - NO HYBRID MODELS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2010 Mazda Tribute (2.5L \/ 3.0L) - NO HYBRID MODELS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2011 Mazda Tribute (2.5L \/ 3.0L) - NO HYBRID MODELS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Ford Utility Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered for the demands of the modern crossover, this direct-fit exhaust component restores the rugged reliability and acoustic refinement expected from the CD2 chassis, ensuring your utility vehicle handles daily commuting and light towing with zero exhaust restrictions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48292507943160,"sku":"DS-EXIGPK43U","price":359.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/exhaust-muffler-for-ford-escape-mazda-tribute-2009-2012-2-5l-3-0l-1.webp?v=1777393709","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/fr\/products\/exhaust-muffler-for-ford-escape-mazda-tribute-2009-2012-2-5l-3-0l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
