MBRP 2.5" T409 Stainless Steel Mid-Pipe Kit for 2020–2026 Ford Explorer & Lincoln Aviator 3.0L

Upgrade the mid-section of your exhaust system with the MBRP S5280409 2.5" T409 Stainless Steel Mid-Pipe Kit. Designed for the 3.0L EcoBoost V6 in the Ford Explorer and Lincoln Aviator, this kit replaces the restrictive and failure-prone factory mid-pipes with smooth, mandrel-bent T409 stainless steel tubing.

  • Heavy-Duty Flex Joints – Replaces weak factory joints to prevent leaks
