Exhaust 2026

[BLucas86]

I unfortunately have the GPF exhaust, BUT that said I do want to delete the large main muffler and throw an Xpipe or Hpipe on there for a little sound. I see sensors up at the GPF but wondering if doing anything this far “down stream” would throw a code or not… I can go to any old muffler shop and have it done if not Any advice is appreciated

It would not. Deleting the resonator really isn’t going to change the sound much. If I were you, I’d just do a muffler delete and call it a day for now.

Ya I want to delete the large main muffler and leave the tail pipe mufflers alone.

Personally not a fan of the MRT muffler delete system sound. Too loud for me.

Also maybe trying to compensate a bit for the GPF, and hoping maybe a giant muffler delete can assist with the current extra exhaust restriction.

That is a resonator, not a muffler. You’re not going to gain much sound with that and more get more unwanted frequencies.

I mean I’ve heard the MRT H-Pipe on the 2022 from their website and thought it sounded perfect. Almost like you’d expect it to sound from the factory instead of having to overcompensate with the lame FENG.

Different strokes for different folks. Some people like loud, others like mild, and not everything is for everyone. But you have to also factor that as of now there are no aftermarket solutions to the 2026 with the GPF system and I’m trying to find a semi-legitimate solution to this GPF exhaust system strain that reduced HP/TQ by 15…

That said, I am curious what “unwanted frequencies” your referencing.

I replaced the resonator on my mustang with an x pipe. The sound got raspy. I then installed two small race mufflers as resonators and the sound was awesome. Still like that today, did it in 2020.

Anyone tried ANY type of exhaust on the new GPF system? I was speaking with MRT and they think any mod that increases flow (resonator delete or muffler) will trigger the sensor and give a CEL

Like I said already, two people have done the Livernois exhaust and MBRP muffler delete without problems on their GPF cars.

2.5 Inch MBRP kit on my 26 with GPF, no issues.

Crazy cuz MBRP & MRT have both stated they do not have any available systems for a 26 with GPF. MRT using data off the Maverick said it wouldn’t work for the Explorer based on their findings. MBRP just replied today saying they don’t have anything either. Very weird.
