Detailed Product Description

The AP Exhaust 700247 muffler features a baffled design that helps reduce exhaust noise to levels comparable with original equipment (OE) standards. Its oval-shaped body measures 20 inches in length, 10.5 inches in width, and 4.06 inches in height, making it a direct replacement for the exhaust system on Ford Freestar and Windstar models. The aluminized steel construction provides resistance against rust and corrosion, extending the muffler's service life under typical driving conditions.

This muffler includes a single 2-inch diameter inlet pipe located on the left shell and a matching 2-inch outlet pipe on the right shell, ensuring proper exhaust flow and fitment. The muffler configuration is labeled as "Ll," and it is part of the Msl series, designed for regular grade applications without a heat shield attached. The unit is not tunable but maintains sound levels consistent with factory specifications.
