MagnaFlow: Unleashing the New Ford Bronco

The New Bronco Ponies Up

The MagnaFlow Tech Center has been getting acquainted with Ford’s recently revived off-roader, the 2021 Ford Bronco. By combining the utility, capability and charisma that made the older Ford Broncos into icons, with modern day technology and comfort, the folks at Ford have created a new family of Broncos that are truly worthy heirs to the legacy of their forebearers.

While the original Bronco enjoyed broad popularity and led to Ford selling more than a million units over the course of its 30+ year run, its legacy is still felt to this day. The Bronco has appeared in numerous films and TV shows, even long after it was done being produced. Notable big screen credits include the likes of Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991), Speed (1994) and No Country for Old Men (2007), to name a few. Of course, the Bronco is equally well known as the vehicle O.J. Simpson was riding in when he was being chased by the LAPD back in 1994. It’s estimated that approximately 95 million Americans watched the chase on live TV.

Now, 25 years after its initial run, the Ford Bronco is back and better than ever. The new 2021 Bronco has been designed to evoke the classic styling of the original, with the team even going so far as digitally scanning the design chief’s 1976 example to use as a reference for the new vehicles. See, the 2021 Ford Bronco family now includes two distinct models: the Bronco SUV and smaller Bronco Sport CUV.

To reflect the generally urban lifestyle of Bronco Sport owners, the team at the MagnaFlow Tech Center felt an addition to their Street Series line of performance exhaust kits was in order. This new Ford Bronco Sport exhaust system is compatible with both the 1.5L and 2.0L engine options. It features 2.5-inch mandrel bent main piping that passes through an NDT resonator and a straight-through muffler before ending in a dual exit layout with 4-inch diameter black chrome finished tips. NDT refers to MagnaFlow’s No Drone Technology, which utilizes techniques such as quarter-wave passive noise cancellation to keep unwanted sound to a minimum at cruising speeds. This tech, in concert with careful kit design, creates a system that generates the awesome, deep, powerful exhaust tone that MagnaFlow is known for, while keeping sound to mild levels in the vehicle’s interior. All this means a moderate boost to your rig’s exterior exhaust sound while keeping interior volume at comfortable levels conducive to being stuck in traffic or steady cruising on the highway.
