With our first EcoBoost downpipe prototype complete and fitting on the EB perfectly, it was time to perform some product testing. We wanted to do so for two reasons. First, we wanted to see the impact on power output with a tune, our intake, and this new downpipe we developed. We have been watching the progress of the EB HP/TQ race on the forums, and we wanted to see what kind of numbers our car could put down. On top of this, we are also itching to drive this Mustang with a bit more power. Our second purpose for testing this component was to evaluate the sound quality of our 2015 Mustang EcoBoost downpipe once installed.
Dyno Testing
In some related news, we have a new toy to play with in the shop, a Dynapack dyno. We've already been testing this unit with our 2015 WRX and so far it is an extremely nice tool for our team. The necessity

It is quite an exciting week here at Mishimoto. Yes, that's right " our first prototypes of the Mustang EcoBoost downpipe assemblies have arrived and are ready for test fitting and some road testing! Our extensive 3D-modeling design work has paid off with some very nice downpipe prototype pieces. No more delay, on to the images!
First Prototype Images
Our first prototypes include both a catted downpipe and a catless downpipe. Each unit features a two-piece design for easy install, a slip-joint connection between the two pieces, and a V-band connection at the rear cat-back connection point.
We will start with a look at the upper portion of the downpipe that mates with the turbocharger. First, our catless pipe.

This piece features a couple interesting details. The ball-style flange is designed to emulate the stock downpipe and will mate perfectly with the stock turbocharger exhaust flange. Two oxygen

Mishimoto downpipe 3D model
It has been awhile since our last update on the Mishimoto downpipe, however I assure you it was worth the wait. We have had our engineers tackling a ton of awesome new products for the EB, this exhaust system included. We left off with an evaluation of the stock downpipe. Once that was complete we set out to design our own system.
3D Printing
Is Mishimoto going to print out an entire downpipe? Not entirely, but we do intend to flex the muscles of our new 3D printer on this particular project. If we have the technology, why not use it. After creating a model of our design in Solidworks, we began to print components that would require additional time to fabricate. This includes bungs, flanges, and bends within the system.
Check out a shot of our printer pumping out one of the bends on our design.

Opening up the exhaust on a turbocharged vehicle is a great first modification that can make a big impact on drivability, vehicle sound, and driver enjoyment. Typically, a vehicle will see improvements in horsepower and massive gains in torque output. Emissions and sound requirements normally restrict the size and efficiency of stock exhaust systems, which explains why big gains result from enlarging the piping and eliminating or reducing restrictions within the piping.
For this project, we will focus our efforts on designing and testing a new downpipe option for the 2015+ Ford EcoBoost Mustang. Before tackling our downpipe design, we will take a look at the stock unit pulled from our Triple Yellow shop vehicle.
