Built specifically for the 2020-2026 Ford Explorer ST, Platinum, and King Ranch, the MBRP S52033CF axle-back exhaust replaces the factory rear section with a dual exit configuration finished by four carbon fiber tips, giving the Explorer a presence that matches its turbocharged performance.
T304 stainless steel construction. The mandrel-bent tubing uses T304 stainless throughout, resisting corrosion and heat cycle fatigue over years of daily driving and spirited runs. The material holds up in road salt environments without the surface rust that plagues mild-steel alternatives.
Quad carbon fiber tips. Four carbon fiber exhaust tips frame the rear fascia with a motorsport aesthetic that pairs naturally with the ST's sport-tuned exterior. Carbon fiber tips keep weight low while delivering a finish that stands apart from polished or brushed stainless.
Axle-back fitment keeps installation straightforward. The system bolts to the factory mid-pipe connection point, so no cutting, welding, or modification to upstream components is needed. Hangers align with factory mount locations, and the dual exit routing clears the OEM rear diffuser and bumper cutouts without trimming.
A deeper exhaust note on the 3.0L EcoBoost. The freer-flowing rear section lets the twin-turbocharged 3.0L EcoBoost express a more pronounced tone under acceleration, reducing the muffled character that comes with the longer factory exhaust path, without producing excessive drone at highway cruise.
