In this video I bring you along as I swap out the exhaust system on this 2015 Ford Escape. I do the intermediate pipe, the resonator and the muffler. Not a bad job but you definitely want to do this one on a lift.
-Enjoy!

Do you recommend a oil bath under there so her car don't disappear in a year or 2 or even paint the muffler and pipes get few more years out of it for her
Eric, have you looked into Magnaflow exhaust systems?
the large flange is for harmonics
AP and Walker. Back in the 60's and 70's, those were the systems my Dad installed at his shop in Franklin Massachusetts. And like you, those systems didn't last more than 2 years. Salt and sand corroded out the car (before aluminumized exhaust systems and body parts), so maybe 6 to 8 years with a car or truck and time for a new vehicle.
Good one Mr. O. Nice to see Mrs. O and of course your dependant..the cat.
That large flange is probably large for this particular vehicle but that flange blank is probably used for many other applications. They just drill the holes in different locations for other applications. Its done this way for lower cost by utilizing the same flange blank for many different applications.
What no deer meat dogs ! You need to Ohio.
I want to approve of Mrs. O's cooking with cast iron cookware. I use an enameled cast iron dutch oven for cooking omelets and find it gets my omelets done quite well. Cleaning enameled cast iron is easy. You are a great family guy. Your videos are essential viewing for me. That is a good exhaust pipe replacement, too. I am learning how it is done from you.
Eric, the car shota are super cool. We have three and they own the house.
What's wrong with the anti-torch people. How else are you gonna be able to flambeau your venison steaks?
I likeum burt you do to don't lie Mr o
If I promise to leave a comment on every video I watch, will you use something sharp when you need to remove plastic from parts?
Good job ford sending that crap to NY wth cheap cheap people
The hot wrench makes that so much easier. Need to do my wife’s
Torch haters don’t know how to use a torch!
2015 and new exhaust? Wow
40+ years ago had a body shop torch thru the wiring harness removing the pickup truck bed bolts. Half azz repair twisted wires together and hidden under electrical tape and didn't say anything. I only found out because the fuel gauge didn't work.
I used a torch many years on exhaust but the last few years those cordless Sawzalls made cutting pretty easy
Erik a HUGH difference between having the knowledge and skill to use a torch and sitting in front of your computer telling some one how to use a torch. Learned torch use at 12 years old, and have not yet burned down anything that I did not intend to burn, over 60 years with a torch!
Come on up to Rochester for some Nick Tahoe meat sauce,
Enjoy your lunch Eric. Thanks for the video
Turn the camera off a shoot some self tapers on the heat shield….
