2.3 axle back exhaust - anyone install?

Since this F P exhaust has more flow and HP?, does that require a Forscan change?

Short answer is no.

Does Ford Performance actually claim more HP vs. stock exhaust? If you parse the marketing language, I bet you will discover that none of these aftermarket mufflers claim that because none of them actually do the testing and engineering to make such a claim. These products are for aesthetics (sound, looks, etc.) Even if using one of these mufflers (or just deleting your stock muffler) reduces back pressure significantly enough to change the actual HP output of your Bronco, it will be only a few HP - well within the margin of your stock ECU tuning and not even as much as changing the anti-knock of the fuel you use (i.e. putting premium in your tank instead of regular 87).

Also, Forscan has no ability to adjust the ECU to "tune" your bronco engine for aftermarket modifications - you would need an after market tune for that.

I did the Borla Touring Climber cat-back for this reason. Expensive, but worth it.

I did the borla s type on my 4dr. 2.7. Well worth the $$ now it sounds as good as it looks.

Now I'm confused - ignoring any holiday discounts - for the M-5230-BR3SC - which is the Ford Racing exhaust for the Bronco 2.3L - how can Ford Racing being selling these for $393.30 and all the other merchants are selling these for $1,300 - $1,400??

Maybe they have a warehouse full and no one has been buying them so they are on clearance.

I'd jump on it if I did not already have the Borla 11973 Touring set up on my Bronco which I got for $960 shipped March of this year ... which at the time was cheaper than the one from Ford.

Inline versus V makes a big difference there I think in what you can get the sound to do.

The Subie WRX's can have a really nice throaty rumble ... for a 2.5L 4 banger turbo.
Probably has something to do with being a flat 4 / H4.

Not sure if these will fit right for those Broncos with a tow package
