Explorer ST.
F-150 EcoBoost.
5.0 Coyote.
Maverick 2.0T.

Ford’s been putting out some really fun platforms lately and we’ve been lucky to build systems for all of them.

Different vehicles, different personalities, but all built around the same idea — better sound, better flow, and real daily drivability.

Got a little sound clip coming from one of these 👀

The Explorer ST was built to be the performance SUV Ford always promised. The factory exhaust just didn’t get the memo.

That’s where we came in.

The 2020–2026 Explorer ST finally gets the aggressive, refined tone the twin-turbo 3.0L EcoBoost deserved — without the drone that kills the daily commute.

✔️TRUE Helmholtz Technology
✔️Deep, refined EcoBoost tone
✔️2.5” downpipe-back — starts at the turbo, not the cat
✔️No drone. No compromise.
✔️Direct bolt-on fitment

The 2.5” downpipe-back takes it a step further — picking up where the catback ends and unlocking the full system.

Composed on the highway. Commanding when you get on it.

The Gen 2 Raptor was always a badass truck.
The factory sound just never matched it.

That’s where we came in.

The 2017–2020 Raptor finally gets the deeper, more aggressive tone the twin-turbo EcoBoost deserved — without the drone that ruins daily driving.

✔ TRUE Helmholtz Technology
✔ Deep, refined EcoBoost tone
✔ True 3” performance flow
✔ Direct bolt-on fitment

Smooth on the highway. Aggressive when you get on it.

Boosted 4 banger energy ⚡️

The 2022+ Ford Maverick EcoBoost hits different when it actually sounds right — tighter, deeper, and built for real driving.

✔️ TRUE Helmholtz Technology
✔️ No drone
✔️ Real 3” flow
✔️Clean, controlled tone

Not trying to be something it’s not.

Just bringing out what’s already there.

Who’s running a boosted 4 banger? 👊🏼

400HP… and it whispered 😭

We fixed that.

The 2021–2026 F-150 5.0L finally sounds like a V8 should — deeper when you step on it, calm when you’re just cruising.

✔ TRUE Helmholtz Technology
✔ No drone
✔ Real 3” flow
✔ Single exit, clean setup

No rasp. No headache. Just actual Coyote sound.

Be honest… your 5.0 deserves this or nah? 👇

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“The Thermal R&D Maverick Lobo exhaust is a solid choice if you’re looking to wake up your vehicle without going overboard. The build quality stands out right away clean welds, durable materials, and a design that feels like it’ll hold up well over time.

Sound-wise, it strikes a nice balance: deep and aggressive under throttle, but not overly droney during normal cruising, which makes it livable for daily driving.

Performance gains aren’t night-and-day, but throttle response feels a bit sharper, and there’s a noticeable improvement in overall tone compared to stock.

Installation is generally straightforward for a bolt-on system, took all of 20 minutes.

Overall, it’s a well-rounded exhaust that delivers both style and substance without being obnoxious. Went with the turndown option, gives a great OEM appearance.” – Mark (Verified Buyer)
