FAQ
What is the B939-C914?The B939-C914 is one configuration of the Thermal R&D 3 inch catback exhaust for the 2025 and newer Ford Maverick 2.0L EcoBoost, built with a turndown exit tip.
Does this exhaust fit a Maverick with a Gasoline Particulate Filter?No. This exhaust, including the B939 and B938 configurations, is not compatible with GPF equipped Mavericks and can trigger a check engine light if installed on one.
How do I know if my Maverick has a GPF?Check the Vehicle Emissions Control sticker under the hood. If GPF is listed on that sticker, this exhaust is not compatible with your truck.
Do I need to remove my spare tire to install this exhaust?Yes, on most trims the 3 inch tubing routing requires removing the full-size spare tire. Owners who want a spare can switch to a compact spare or carry a tire repair kit instead.
What is the difference between the B939 and B938 part numbers?The B939 and B938 prefixes correspond to different Maverick drivetrain and cab configurations, while the C914, C915, and C916 suffixes correspond to the turndown, single, and dual tip options.
Will this exhaust affect my Maverick's factory towing capacity?No. This is strictly a cosmetic and sound upgrade behind the catalytic converters and has no effect on towing capacity or drivetrain components.
Does this catback come with a warranty?Yes. Every configuration is backed by a limited lifetime warranty to the original vehicle owner against manufacturing defects.
Can I install this exhaust myself in my driveway?Yes, most Maverick owners with basic hand tools and a jack can complete the install at home, though a lift makes the job easier.
Install Instructions
- Raise the Maverick safely and allow the factory exhaust to cool completely before starting the install.
- Remove the full-size spare tire if your configuration requires clearance for the 3 inch tubing.
- Disconnect the factory exhaust at the catalytic converter outlet and remove the stock system from its hangers.
- Make the single required tubing cut on the new system as directed in the written instructions for your specific tip configuration.
- Connect the front pipe section to the factory catalytic converter outlet using the provided clamp.
- Install the muffler and tip section onto the factory hanger locations without fully tightening clamps.
- Align the tips so they sit level and centered in the rear bumper opening.
- Torque all clamps to spec, start the engine, and check every joint for leaks before lowering the truck.
