INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR 2010+ TAURUS 3.5L
ECOBOOST DOWNPIPE
Thanks for purchasing a Stainless Works Downpipe for your 2010+ 3.5L Ecoboost V6.
We have gone to great pains to make sure that our exhaust systems fit and sound great.
Please follow these steps to ensure that your installation goes as planned.
1. Stainless Works recommends the use of Hi-Temp RTV sensor safe silicon gasket
maker as an option to or in conjunction with the use of factory gaskets. The
recommended Oxygen Sensor Safe RTV is either Valco All-in-One Aluminum or
Permatex Copper P/N 101BR available at NAPA, Autozone and other retailers.
2. Disconnect the battery before starting work on the exhaust system for your
vehicle. Reconnect the battery when the job is completed.
3. Your exhaust system can be installed by a weekend warrior but the use of a lift is
recommended for ease of installation. If using a jack, the vehicle must be placed
on a level hard surface and jack stands are required for safety reasons.
