Installation Notes and Tips

For 2002-2005 Ford Explorer applications, the OE system was a welded assembly, and AP Exhaust notes that all parts identified in the system should be replaced. Verify the vehicle year, make, model, and rear exhaust configuration before installation. Because this part is a tail pipe replacement, inspect adjoining exhaust components for corrosion or damage so the repair is completed on a sound system. AP Exhaust 44885 is a direct replacement part for the listed vehicles.
