Ecoboost Exhaust Layout

[SLVRBACK]

Anyone have a diagram or a picture of the entire thing?

I know it will be one pipe(downpipe) with a cat in it that eventually leads into a catback like the other models, but im curious about whats going on in the middle.

There was an underside pic posted within the last month or so of the EB exhaust.

Wasn't a nice "straight on" shot with the car rolled on it's side in a special jig like Ford did with the 2011, but a camera shot with the car parked that showed all the forward piping and where it split.

From what I remember, it splits to duals right after the Cat(s).

Does anyone have any idea on the number of cats and resonators?

Hope These Help

Hmmmm so a suitcase just like the 5.0. and my god that route looks very inefficient. I wonder what flexibility an exhaust manufacturer will have with different routing. Those 2 right angles look like power killers

This car is begging for a single exit exhaust. Putting a dual exhaust on a single turbo car is hilarious.

Putting a dual exhaust on a single turbo car is hilarious.

And a lot of unneeded weight.

Also I'm thinking the single into dual exhaust aftermarket exhaust with their poorly designed splitters are causing much of the poor sound of the Ecoboost. After looking at these shots the first thing I will be doing with EB once I get it and flash the Cobb tune is fabbing up a single 3". I've never built and exhaust that didn't have to go way up over an axle so this will be easy!

What would happen if you replaced the "suitcase" with a single muffler that then just dumped the exhaust under the car?

I thought I saw a SEMA picture of a GT with Side Exhaust get a more aggressive rear valence that got rid of the exhaust holes.

So Single exhaust, Single Muffler / Resonator or whatever, Dump it to the ground to cause a bit louder sound, fix the backend valence so it doesn't have any exhaust openings...... win????

Technically It would not be legal because the exhaust would be exiting under the passenger compartment and more exhaust gases would make their way into the car and depending on your state laws and inspections you may not be able to pass... But That being said I've run all kinds of dumped at the axle exhausts on my Z28. Right now I have a 3" Y pipe merged into a single 3.5" using a Flowmaster Merge and a Magnaflow Bullet type muffler with a Turn down exiting right at the axle. Its louder in the car but super light weight and simple. Actually I may just dump the Exhaust at the axle on my EB when I get it. Just a simple 3" ending at the axle but that may change when I get a downpipe in the car depending on how loud it is then.

You don't wanna do dumps. Had them on my 93 LX. Never again. CONSTANT drone, fumes always in the car, and it was just overly loud.

 

[PewterCam]

Tuning has come a long way and cars run super clean these days so fumes on modern cars (if it still has cats) are nothing like what you experienced on a 93LX. Also drone depends on the Mufflers and how they work with the engine and you could run the exhaust out the back and it will still drone if you have mufflers that hit that interior resonance frequency of the car.

Agreed. I've always felt that an inline engine only needs a single exhaust -- any more is just for show.

I'd be interested in a aftermarket single outlet exhaust, but would need a new rear panel ( just the black part ) with only one exhaust cutout ( and not just some cheap plate to cover the existing extra unused cutout ).
