The 3-inch mandrel-bent piping replaces the factory restrictive bends to improve exhaust gas velocity across the full RPM range. A single side exit tip routes the exhaust cleanly to one side of the rear bumper for a sport truck look. The S5281BLK installs on factory hangers with no cutting, welding, or drilling required and ships ready to bolt on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-inch T409 stainless steel mandrel-bent piping for maximum exhaust flow throughout the system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArmor Black coating over T409 stainless steel for matte black appearance with corrosion and heat resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle side exit configuration routes exhaust cleanly to one side of the rear bumper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo-cut, no-weld, no-drill bolt-on installation using factory hanger locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstalls in under 1 hour with basic hand tools for most applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with 2015-2020 Ford F-150, all cab configurations and bed lengths with matching fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eS5281BLK is covered by MBRP's limited lifetime warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFitment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eYear Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMake\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTrim\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2015-2020\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFord\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eF-150\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eXL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, Raptor, Limited (2.7L EcoBoost, 3.5L EcoBoost, 5.0L V8)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eS5281BLK\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMBRP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSystem Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCat-Back Exhaust\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePipe Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 Inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePipe Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eT409 Stainless Steel, Mandrel Bent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eArmor Black Coating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExit Configuration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle Side Exit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInstallation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo-Cut, No-Weld, Bolt-On\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2015-2020 Ford F-150\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMBRP Limited Lifetime Warranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUPC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVerify at time of purchase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x MBRP S5281BLK 3-Inch Armor Black Single Side Exit Cat-Back System\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory hanger connection hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstallation instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the MBRP S5281BLK fit the 2.7L EcoBoost, 3.5L EcoBoost, and 5.0L F-150?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMBRP offers multiple S5281BLK fitment variants for different F-150 engine and cab configurations.

Under wide-open throttle it produces a loud performance sound. Drone at highway cruise varies by engine and is generally moderate on the EcoBoost engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the Armor Black finish hold up to heat and weather?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMBRP's Armor Black coating is formulated for exhaust system heat exposure and outdoor weather cycles. The finish resists standard heat discoloration and corrosion better than unpainted stainless.
