The MagnaFlow BRE 106-0278 is a direct-fit, bolt-on replacement exhaust for 1987-1995 Ford F-150 trucks. The manufacturer sells it under the BRExhaust name as part of the MagnaFlow Group, and it is designed to replace the factory system, starting after the catalytic converter. It uses 2.25-inch aluminized steel piping, an OEM-location exit, and is engineered to replace factory part ZF1A-8421-AB. The goal is factory form, fit, and function in a corrosion-resistant replacement, not a claimed power gain.
Compared with a cheaper generic replacement, this kit's main advantages are compliance and packaging. The manufacturer states that it leaves emissions equipment intact, which keeps the truck emissions-compliant, and it backs the kit with a two-year, unlimited-mileage warranty. Five 2.25-inch U-bolt clamps are included, and the manufacturer says no bending, welding, or cutting is needed. Shoppers searching for a 1987-1995 F-150 direct-fit exhaust, a 106-0278 OE replacement, a ZF1A-8421-AB exhaust, or an aluminized cat-back for the 4.9L or 5.0L F-150 will find the core fitment details here.
No. The manufacturer's spec sheet lists the catalytic converter as not included, so the factory converter on your truck is what connects to this system.
The manufacturer states the kit leaves emissions equipment intact, which maintains emissions compliance.
No. The manufacturer states that no bending, welding, or cutting is required for installation.
The manufacturer says the kit is engineered to interchange with OE part ZF1A-8421-AB.
The manufacturer describes a multi-piece, bolt-on design meant for DIY installation around obstructions, with all components, gaskets, clamps, and hardware packaged together with installation instructions. Because the manufacturer's own listings disagree on whether gaskets and hangers are included, check the box contents against the instructions before you start removing the factory system. Confirm fitment with the vehicle selector before ordering.
