Upgraded Exhaust Manifold Kit For 2015-2017 Lincoln Navigator 3.5L Ecoboost

This Upgraded Exhaust Manifold Kit is designed for 2015–2017 Lincoln Navigator models equipped with the 3.5L EcoBoost engine and uses all 11 stud locations for a more secure, even seal against the cylinder head. It replaces factory manifolds suffering from a design flaw where OEM stud locations are underutilized—the cylinder head has threaded holes for 11 exhaust studs, but the OE manifold only utilizes 8 of those locations. Made from high-silicon molybdenum cast iron, these upgraded manifolds are significantly more resistant to thermal warping and cracking, with exhaust runners port-matched and redesigned to increase flow by over 30% compared to stock manifolds.
