Full-Race 2021+ Ford F-150 & Raptor 3.5L EcoBoost Formline® Turbo Manifolds – Part #A0146A / A0217A

Description
The Full-Race Formline® Turbo Manifolds are precision-engineered to fix the weakest link in the Gen3 3.5L EcoBoost system — the factory exhaust manifolds. Built from 347 stainless steel, these manifolds replace restrictive OEM castings that tend to warp, crack, and choke performance once heat and boost rise. By improving exhaust flow and durability while retaining OEM fitment and emissions compliance, they deliver more horsepower, torque, and reliability without sacrificing drivability. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty, this upgrade transforms the way the 2021+ F-150 or Raptor breathes, responds, and performs under boost.

Key Features

  • 40mm port-matched outlets for smoother, unrestricted exhaust flow.

  • Precision-cast 347 stainless steel construction rated up to 1740°F (950°C).

  • Balanced runner geometry for improved exhaust velocity and faster turbo response.

  • 15mm uniform flange design prevents warping and exhaust leaks.

  • Retains factory-cooled EGR system for consistent performance under load.

  • Includes premium A286 Inconel studs, nuts, and gaskets.

  • SEMA Certified 49-state emissions compliant (excluding California).

  • Direct bolt-on fit using factory mounting points.

  • Compatible with both OEM and aftermarket turbos.

  • Covered by Full-Race’s limited lifetime warranty.

Benefits

  • Increases turbo efficiency and reduces backpressure for faster spool-up.

  • Delivers dyno-proven gains up to +120 WHP and +151 WTQ when tuned.

  • Enhances midrange torque and throttle response for a more responsive drive.

  • Prevents heat-related fatigue, cracking, and leaks for long-term reliability.

  • Maintains emissions compliance while boosting overall performance.

  • Peace of mind with premium materials and lifetime warranty coverage.

FAQ

Click the question for more information


•Why are Formline® Turbo Manifolds better than OEM or other aftermarket manifolds?
The stock manifolds are cast from low-grade material that can warp or crack under heat and boost. The Formline® design fixes those weak points with 347 stainless steel, 15 mm flanges, and port-matched 40 mm outlets for better flow, faster spool, and long-term reliability.
•Are these manifolds compatible with stock and upgraded turbos?
Yes. The Formline® Turbo Manifolds are fully compatible with the factory GEN3 3.5 L EcoBoost turbos and were designed with future upgrade potential in mind. The flow path, outlet geometry, and port-matched design provide the headroom to support higher boost and airflow once aftermarket turbo options become available.
•Will I notice a performance difference after installing these?
Absolutely. Expect faster turbo spool, stronger midrange torque, and smoother power delivery, especially under sustained boost or heavy load. In back-to-back testing, results showed +120 WHP and +151 WTQ over stock when tuned.
•Are the Formline® manifolds emissions compliant?
Yes. They’re SEMA Certified and 49-state emissions compliant in accordance with the EPA’s tampering policy. Testing at an EPA-recognized lab confirmed these manifolds do not increase emissions or affect OBD functionality when installed as directed. They are compliant for use in all 49 U.S. states, excluding California.
•Are these manifolds the same as the ones used in the GEN3 Formline® Turbo Kit?
No. These are two different setups. The GEN3 Formline® Manifolds are a standalone bolt-on upgrade for the 2021+ F-150 and Raptor 3.5 L EcoBoost. The GEN3 Formline® Turbo Kit uses a different manifold setup specific to that complete turbo system and isn’t interchangeable.
•Will I need to make any modifications to install the Formline® manifolds?
No modifications are required. Formline® Turbo Manifolds are a direct bolt-on replacement for the 2021+ Ford F-150 & Raptor 3.5 L EcoBoost OEM manifolds. They use factory mounting points and include all necessary hardware, meaning no custom fabrication or specialized modifications are needed.
•Do the manifolds retain the cooled EGR system?
Yes. The Formline® manifolds are EGR-compatible, preserving the Gen3’s cooled EGR function for improved knock resistance and engine safety.
•Do these manifolds include hardware?
Yes. Each set includes an A286 Inconel Hardware Kit — the same alloy used in aerospace and supercars. These studs resist corrosion, don’t stretch, and maintain clamping force under high heat.
•Will this affect my vehicle’s warranty?
Aftermarket parts can affect warranty coverage. Review the vehicle’s warranty agreement or consult the dealer to understand how these upgrades may impact coverage.
•What models are these exhaust manifolds compatible with?
These manifolds fit the Gen3 Ford 3.5 L EcoBoost V6, found in:
  • 2021+ Ford F-150
  • 2021+ Ford Raptor
•Do the Formline® manifolds come with a warranty?
Yes. Each set is backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty against manufacturing defects.
