You Need to Hear this New Ford Bronco Exhaust

- I've kept my new Ford Bronco relatively stock for the last several months, but now, after putting on several miles both on and off-road and having out on some long overland adventures, it's time to start upgrading it. Today, I start by giving it a more aggressive sound, adding some departure angle clearance and increasing a little bit of the performance by installing a Magnaflow Overland exhaust system.

I don't have an overland vehicle but I really enjoy Brad's videos. He does a great job and I appreciate his enthusiasm for overlanding and taking care of the environment.
For any vehicle where you want great (and sometimes loud) sound but without the drone or annoying the neighbors in the morning, valved exhausts are a revelation. I have a Capristo with a remote control. Hit the button to open the valve and it sounds great even at lower revs. Switch to the closed position and it's very quiet, yet it has a little computer that will automatically open the valve above 3000 rpm if you really put your foot in it. Best of all worlds.
Agree, that's what I love about the 392, hit the button no the dash and instant extra grumble!
Your neighbors appreciate that option :)
wow how cool is that. probably be banned here in australia lol
Bla bla bla to many words

So Happy! You're doing more on the Bronco build..
Love the new Bronco, would like to see more content on this vehicle.
glad to see a bronco video. can't wait to see future videos
Perfect timing - just took delivery of my 22 Wildtrak and am researching. LOVE your content!
Brad, a 1:1 mix of dish soap and used anti-freeze makes an excellent rubber lube for hoses, tire beads, and exhaust hangers.
I really enjoyed this video. Gives me food for thought.
I was surprised how good the stock exhaust sounded. It's not fantastic, but its a lot better than I would have thought. The magnaflow is definetely an improvement though, I have one on my 4Runner and I LOVE it. You get some aggressive sound but no drone. I used to have a Flowmaster exhuast, which sounded awesome, but with all the highway driving I do, I couldn't stand the drone. Looking forward to what comes next on the Bronco.
That smile at the end says it all!
a shop with a lift is the dream of any that has ever turned a wrench on a vehicle......cant wait to see what else gets done to this!
Cool product! Looks sweet and sounds great!
Nice work, Brad, that's a lot of work under there.
I have built a 2021 f-150 for my little brother with the 2.7l in it and I will till you doing 3" down pipes with race cats is where the real power and sound adder is on this engine. Ford loves to coke the exhaust on their engines. The build as it is right now is 3" down pipes into race cats then merge into 4" exhaust with an axle dump. Blow off valve conversion and CAI and a 5 star tune. Making about 480 at the wheels and if he keeps his foot out the gas makes about 18-19 city and @75mph will easily hit 24mpg. Next on his list is the intercooler, cold and hot side pipes, and inlet feed pipes for the turbos. Once we have that done we can turn the boost up to over 25 psi and have some real fun. Truck is fun to drive but nothing will have to pucker up like braking the tries loss at 60mph when you WOT on the interstate HAHA.
Love the build
Nice sound and clean job 👍🏼
OMG. The hardware bins! That’s a lot of modifications!
About time you started working on the Bronco!!! I love my Wildtrack and been waiting to see what you are going to do to yours.
More to come!
Excellent project and excellent product from Magnaflow!
Thanks, pretty happy with this system.
I love my 2.3 sas badlands cant wait to see what you do to it. because of this and a few other channels im really getting into the idea of overlanding.
Hey Brad. I think we all have dreams of a post lift! A suggestion to make life on the creeper easier. Grab a pair of rhino ramps. They work great. Stable and safe. They’ll give you an extra 8 inches or so of room under the vehicle so you don’t feel so confined under there. 👍🏼
I hope I'm able to have a lift someday, but I'll look into those ramps. I had a pair I picked up from Autozone a few years ago, but they were terrible. Thanks!
Yuss more Bronco mod vids... all about it. I've considered an exhaust option but power-wise it's a very minimal improvement over OEM and I'm not sure a little sound difference is worth the $1k+ ish to me? Still feels more glam/fashion buy than a practicality move. I've kind of put it off, in my head, to when I need a new exhaust... then it's a good play but... idk... haven't sold myself on this upgrade yet. Being in Arizona I need to put my money into clearance right now... big rocks everywhere.
Cheers Brad, can't wait for the other Bronco vids
Thanks, great video!!
I really enjoy your videos and I have often wondered, with all the miles, dirt and mud you put your vehicles through, how do you keep them so clean? when you are back home, what is the process you use to clean your vehicles from top to undercarriage
It for sure sounds better👍
Sounds awesome!!
Wish we had this vehicle here in Australia, I'm sure it would sell very well. I remember the old style Bronco based on the F.100, my father, myself and brother all worked at the Ford plant. I remember my father bringing home the 351ci Ford Bronco, wow that was a beast. Love the sound Brad. Great vid, all the best from Down Under. 🚙👍
Sounds good being from a Mustang background I’m a huge fan of magna flow. But I put MBRP exhaust on my bronco because of the cost. However I was super pleased with the deeper sound from the exhaust👍🏽👍🏽
I do miss the rumble of my Mustang GT I had several years ago... so fun to drive!
Thanks for the vid! My consensus on aftermarket exhaust system videos are that they are very difficult to translate over video footage. I'm sure that there are several factors effecting this outcome. Nevertheless, for this type of application the benefits I can see with this are maybe in weight reduction and extra clearance. Most modern vehicles, including high performance vehicles, have very quiet OEM exhaust systems and/or are governor-limited to rev their engines beyond a set RPM when at a standstill.
I can probably get on-board with having a little bit extra tone over the stock set-up, but not much more over that. I don't think I would want a very loud exhaust on my off-road capable daily driver, but that's just me.
Great video.! (You had me at “less weight” and “tucks up under the frame rails”.) How much less does this exhaust system weigh over stock?
you can replace that cap with an additional tip for a little more sound, making it essentially a single in dual out muffler.
Brad just out of curiosity what are your oil change intervals like on your rigs? Before every trip? Every 5k?
Brad if you are retired navy. Just go to the auto shops on base. They are cheap and nice to use
Simple advise from an old aviation mechanic: But a tube of high-temp anti seize and apply it to the bolt threads on your exhaust system before reinstalling. Much easier to remove/replace next time. Although you have more spare bolts and nuts than Frankenstein!
Good show love it thanks
Nice. Brad 👍
Any chance you took video of the rear-view mirror install? That looks like a great option.
Piece of advice , next time , get some heat resistant manifold tape , put a layer on the inside fitting pipe at each joint , it will seal completely and rust on the joints will not impede you as much getting it apart. Also as far as putting the studs into the rubber hangers , use a C clamp when compressing against 90 degree angles.
Love the garage videos
Thank you, a few more garage projects coming soon.
I like that set up you got for all your extra nuts and bolts may I ask where you got it? Could use something like that in my workshop.
Sounds nice but too much so early without my coffee 😎😎👌👌👍👍🤩🤩😎😎😎
I hear ya!
that new exhaust sounds waaaay better
Sounds good
Good bin idea 👍🏻
It's saved me many trips to the hardware store over the years.
I have a question for you, i noticed your bronco has BFG all terrains even the trailer… just bought a zr2 and looking for a good set of tires to upgrade to and im not sure what to get. I want something that will last, and yet something good off road even in the mud but not nessisarily strictly a mud terrain as they dont last as long. I was looking into rough terrain tires as well. What is your tire of choice
Love magnaflow! What parts bin setup is that?
rocks and brush have a way of finding those clamps.
you should put a solo performance delete pipe on your power wagon. it's gnarly and I love it!
He lives in Commiefornia. He's very limited in what his benevolent overlords will let him put on his car. Some emissions BS.
So awesome 🤘❤👍
Sounds good 😎👍
this is a scammer. ignore him. Not the real OP
Thank you. Great video, as always! What was that canvas bag you had in the cargo area?
Thank you! It's just my recovery kit: trailrecon.com/overland-vehicle-systems-recovery-kit--2.html
You should check out the skid plate setup on Lite Brite's Bronco🤙
Are you concerned at all about the mode selector on the Bronco being completely electronic vs the Jeep where it is manual? My understanding is if it fails on the bronco it defaults automatically to 2WD. Not a good scenario if you are out on the trail when it breaks.
Did you start the Bronco after you took off the stock muffler? I wonder what it sounds like when you delete the muffler. 🤔
What does MagnaFlow claim on the performance gains? I see the Flowmaster American Thunder axle back kit claims gains of 19 Hp and 19 lb-ft. with their Outlaw axle back kit claiming gains of 15Hp and 16 lb-ft. in the 2.7L
“I can feel you coming” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is there a video of back of your bronco with the slide out ??
Have you guys ran the transamerican trail already?
Is there any drone at 65+ speeds?
I have a 2-dr 2.7 badlands and looking to add more rumble…don’t mind having it louder during aggressive acceleration but trying to avoid any cat-back kits with noticeable droning.
Could I go overlanding in a 2016 ram 1500 lone-star edition?
It sounds better but I like the V8 rumble of your 392 better. I think I will order a MBRP system for my power wagon.
Agree, it's tough to be the sound of a V8, but I'm happy to have given this V6 a little more rumble.
The magnaflow direct fit muffler for the power wagon has a good sound. Put it on mine a few months back.
Loved the video! How long was the whole installation process for you?
If I wasn't fumbling around with a camera while doing this, I could have knock this out in about an hour. Very easy install.
You live in California Brad. Does modifying your exhaust like this mess with getting your vehicle smogged to register it?
I don't even have an exhaust to do but i want a hangar tool. At least then if i have a chance to go back in time i can give it to the past me.
I know my hearing is not great from my long years in the Marine Corps, but i could slightly hear a difference, not much, but it did sound a bit better.
So did you sell the powerwagon?
got the MF rockcrawler exhaust on my Gladiator, tailpipe is nicely tucked away..great sound on that Bronco now...extra style points for the og Vans
LOL! Those are my garage shoes!
Got a link for that GMRS antenna?
How high are your ceilings? A two-post lift is about $7k installed. Worth every penny, IF you have the ceiling height.
Oceanside!
Brad, great channel and content. I need your advice being a Jeep and Bronco owner. I am on the fence on gas mileage between a 4 cilinder or 6 cilinder Bronco. I will use it everyday in the city, and sometimes (every 3 months) off road. Which one would you recommend and my concern is that the 4 cilinder will be a gashog due to the weight of the chassis and tires.
If youre going sasquatch then 2.7. though the 2.3 is not bad with 35s and the 4.7 gears on the squatch.
If youre going to run 33"s or less, the 2.3 will give you the best real-world mpg and will perform great. I work in power train/nvh testing and development at Roush/Ford. Ive driven quite a few Bronchi 🤣. I also have a sasquatch OBX 2.7. I get 18-19mpg on trips 70mph and 19-20mpg 65mph. Mid grade fuel.
It's my dream someday to have a garage.
You make it look easy.
It's a pretty easy install overall.
It's just a few bolts. If you live in Southern California as he does there's no rust to worry about. Unbolt the old, bolt the new in.
@@TrailRecon great, I will bring my bronco right over hahaha
Sounds good. But there's no replacement for displacement.
Here’s me thinking your Bronco is going to sound great, l was disappointed when l realised it wasn’t a V8. A Bronco isn’t a “real” Bronco without a V8. Your new exhaust sound is just a little bit better than the stock system though. What motor is in your Bronco?
I don’t trust hose clamps to connect exhaust tubing, even if they are stronger than average hose clamps.
"Oh yeah, yeah yeah yeah..." (insert Tim Allen manly grunts here.)
You said 9k miles… does work like this blow out any warranty? I’m always so paranoid about warranties. 🤣
I went with Corsa in my two door.
How big your bronco engine
Hey Brad!
I love the channel and just joined (in addition to the subscription I've had for a long time).
I would LOVE to see a conversation about which Bronco is the best foundation for an overloading build. Do you have opinions on that?
Thanks and keep up the great work!!!
Charles
Thanks and welcome to the channel! The Bronco is a great vehicle, but not sure it's the best... open to discussion.
@@TrailRecon Hey Brad!
Thanks for getting back to me. I would love to have a discussion (or even see a video) about plusses and minuses of the key candidates. I currently drive a 2010 FJ Cruiser, which I love, but it's getting a little long in the tooth and doesn't have a lot of oomph on the highway.
To my mind, the candidates would be Bronco (which model), Wrangler/Gladiator, Defender, Tacoma or.... Rivian? Since I don't do any substantial rock-crawling, mudding or fording... and I _do_ go on long roadtrips (CO to CA or NC at least once a year) highway manners and comfort are pretty important too.
What's the best way to dig into that?
Thanks again for such a great channel!
C
The Bronco does sound better than before. I would like you to compare it with the 392. BTW. Did the new exhaust on the bronco improve anything else besides the sound? Thanks for your content, as always it is great information and entertaining.
Thank you for watching and apologies for the late response but...the Bronco is gone. Just wasn't loving it.
Really..! Can you tell us about your decision making process?
Hey Brad. How is the 10 speed around town. Does it hunt excessively for the proper gear. Is it smooth shifting? Tks
I haven't had any issues with it. It's pretty smooth and most of the time I don't even notice the shift.
The 10 speed is fantastic in town, freeway and on the trail - you don't even think about it, which means it's doing exactly what you want it to do.
Thank you guys.
nicee carrr sir 👍🙏🏻🙏🏻
And just how many "mechanics" words did you have to use that we didn't hear?? (grin) Hard acceleration it sounded like a throaty race car, but like you said at 65 just cruising it sounds nice and quiet. Now for the BIG question..... What does Regena think of the sound? Until next time... Travel safe.
Quien es mas macho? Brad w/TR!
didnt do a straight header OR straight pipe sound test? wow, skipped the main step in doing an exhaust at home
Was that a facing movement when you'd grabbed all the needed tools? lol
Sounds the same to me?
I miss the Rig Review videos
Anyway you would like to let us know what vehicle you like best. Ford or jeep ?? Chevy needs to get in the game and make a blazer convertible they are always last time the party but when they get there it’s usually a show stopper but I’m sure they’ll never do a topless Chevy blazer
It's tough to beat the 392, but both vehicles fit different needs I think. Agree 100%, the Blazer could be a great vehicle if done right. The current one just looks like another mom mobile.
GM loves nothing more than to completely miss the mark. The Wrangler, Bronco, and 4Runner are printing money. Their manufacturers sell every one they build for full price and even have a waiting list. GM's response to the ultra-hot 4x4 market? A $100k 9000lb electric Hummer and the once-storied Blazer name slapped on a restyled Equinox. They could have easily engineered a removable roof 4x4 SUV on the Colorado frame like Ford did with the Ranger.
Why does the top look like you just pulled it out of the bottom of a cloths hamper and threw it on the bronco?????
Those are Flex Era 4s, no? I believe you said they were Flex Era 3's in the video.
He most likely meant Flex Era 4's.
Are you a lumberjack? How do you work with those bulky gloves?
I was Paul Bunyan in a past life!
Still doesn’t sound like a good ‘ole 428 SCJ or 427 side oiler or 429 BOSS 🤤
What is the rear view mirror you have? Did you do an installation video of that?
I would love for my rear view mirror to be a camera. When I have my soft top down it is essentially worthless. Would love to be able to look at it and see what’s behind me. Thanks, Robert
Does it sound any different on sport mode?
Went to "text me on telegram", subscribed, and not sure what to do after that. No videos are available.
Sorry for the late response but I do not have a Telegram account. I've been letting CZcams know, but it's an imposter account.
Brad, be sure to check out Lite Brite. They just made multiple mods to their Bronco, some of which were new and developed on their car. Absolutely worth taking a look
👍👍
It's no 392 that's for sure!
Try using your hanger spray on the nuts. 😄
this is a scammer. ignore him. Not the real OP
