Overview
Upgrade your 2020–2024 Ford Explorer 2.3L EcoBoost with the SPD Performance 304SS Catted Downpipe, engineered to deliver measurable gains in performance, drivability, and exhaust tone. Featuring a true 3” mandrel‑bent design, this downpipe increases airflow, reduces turbo lag, and lowers exhaust temperatures — all without requiring custom tuning.
SPD’s unique flex‑section placement addresses the well‑known vibration that occurs between 1000–1400 RPM on cold starts and during acceleration/deceleration. By relocating the flex sections closer to the engine, the system absorbs engine harmonics before they amplify down the exhaust path, protecting your components and delivering a smoother driving experience.
Precision Engineering for Better Performance
Built from premium 304 stainless steel, this downpipe provides long‑term durability and corrosion resistance. Each unit is hand‑welded, includes factory‑style turbo and exit flanges for perfect fitment, and comes with all necessary hardware for installation.
The high‑flow 400 CPSI catalytic converters maintain emissions functionality while maximizing exhaust velocity — without triggering check‑engine lights under normal operation.
Note: EPA-approved federal catalytic converters are included, but customers are responsible for confirming compliance with state and county emissions regulations.
