Installation Instructions
Verify aFe 49-03041NM.
- Read own February 2018 ONE-page manual, all written steps including TWO steps numbered 5, and full diagram. Confirm actual 3.5 L EcoBoost and 145/157/163-inch wheelbase. Cool exhaust, wear eye/hand protection and support vehicle/exhaust safely.
- Remove original exhaust UP TO CATALYTIC CONVERTER, from REAR of truck working FORWARD. Preserve original factory hardware and rubber isolation mounts. Keep new clamps loose until full assembly is installed and aligned.
- Lay out selected parts. Use 05-42025 muffler-delete tube in place of generic shared-manual muffler assembly; no muffler or decorative tip is supplied for NM. Slip the appropriate clamp over expanded end and install mid-pipe#1 using provided hardware; exact fixing service size/count is not printed.
- Select longer-wheelbase tube only as applicable. Mid-pipe#2 is 05-42634 in the diagram: use it UNTRIMMED for 163-inch wheelbase; test-fit and CUT 6 INCHES OFF for 157-inch wheelbase.145-inch configuration does not use this longer-wheelbase extension. Written step 5 instead prints 05-44634 , conflicting with own diagram 05-42634 ; verify supplied tube identity before cutting. No target remaining length or additional cut is invented.
- Install ONE-PIECE over-axle/tailpipe using ORIGINAL isolation mounts. Retain the selected plain tailpipe exit; do not add a decorative tip from shared tipped alternatives. Align exhaust and tighten all clamps FRONT to REAR.
- Maintain manufacturer-recommended 1/2-1 inch tailpipe clearance from body panels. No numeric clamp, front-flange, hanger-clamp or tip torque is printed. Re-tighten ALL exhaust components after 50-100 miles. No battery-disconnection, sensor relocation, valve, coding or installation-welding procedure is supplied; original converter remains.
No actual flow or dyno chart is linked for this exact selection. No numeric horsepower/torque/EGT gain, fuel-economy improvement or cabin-drone guarantee is independently established. Generic retailer 322 HP and 28 lb-ft claims are not accepted as measured gains. NO separate decorative tip is selected for the NM no-muffler/no-tip configuration; generic tip shown in shared manual belongs to the tipped alternatives. Own diagram 05-42634 versus written 05-44634 tube identity difference must be resolved against supplied hardware before cutting. Primary no-EO wording does not authorize converter or sensor deletion.
