• Description:

  This genuine Ford muffler center bracket is an exhaust support that positions and isolates the muffler and connected exhaust piping beneath F-150 pickups, holding the system in alignment while absorbing vibration so it does not contact the body or driveline. Ford lists this bracket in multiple mounting positions across the exhaust system, and it fits a wide range of F-150 trucks from 2011 onward with the 2.7L, 3.0L, 3.3L, 3.5L, and 3.7L engines. The bracket works with the exhaust hangers and rubber isolators to carry the weight of the muffler and tailpipe; owners need it when the original bracket is rusted through, cracked, or bent, when the exhaust sags or rattles against the underbody, or when a broken mount lets the muffler hang low and vibrate. Road salt, corrosion, and impact damage are common reasons this steel bracket fails. Ford catalogs this component as a Muffler Center Bracket within the F-150 exhaust group. During installation, support the exhaust so it does not strain other hangers, bolt the bracket to the factory locations, and confirm proper clearance between the exhaust and the body and driveline before lowering the vehicle. As a genuine Ford OEM bracket it matches the original mounting points and geometry so the exhaust hangs at the correct height and stays quiet, with no fabrication needed.
