Customer Reviews

SW Exhaust on 25' Explorer ST
Verified Buyer — Steven Wisniewski |
Absolutely perfect sounding exhaust for the Explorer ST — not obnoxious, or V6 raspy like other popular brands. Highly recommend taking it to a professional exhaust/muffler shop for installation otherwise be prepared to work fitment/adjustment challenges (at least on a 2025 model) for the DIY customer. Stainless Works customer support was awesome! They quickly helped me resolve a fitment issue I had when installing the adapter pipes going to the OEM downpipes. Overall, the exhaust sound, quality, and customer support are all top notch.
