Full-Race 2011-2016 Ford F-150 3.5L EcoBoost Formline Turbo Manifolds
Make More Power. Avoid Costly Repairs.
Full-Race Formline® Turbo Manifolds for the GEN1 3.5L EcoBoost.
The Full-Race Formline® Turbo Manifolds are a direct replacement for the failure-prone factory exhaust manifolds on the 2011–2016 Ford F-150 EcoBoost. OEM cast iron manifolds are known to warp, crack, and leak under high exhaust temperatures, leading to performance loss, annoying chirping sounds, and expensive repairs.
Formline® Turbo Manifolds address these OEM shortcomings head-on. Crafted from advanced 347 stainless steel, they’re built to withstand exhaust temps up to 1740°F (950°C) without warping or cracking, delivering unmatched durability for heavy towing, spirited driving, and everything in between. And unlike 304 stainless, which is often used in motorsport applications, 347 stainless offers even greater resistance to high-temperature fatigue and corrosion, making it better suited for the long-term demands of the EcoBoost platform. Plus, the ½" thick flanges also provide improved strength and sealing over the OEM’s thinner ⅜" design.
But we didn’t stop at better materials—Formline® manifolds are engineered for serious performance gains. A 32% larger outlet perfectly matches the turbocharger inlet, while individually optimized 30mm runners reduce backpressure and improve turbo efficiency. The result? Faster spool-up, increased horsepower, and stronger torque throughout the powerband.
These manifolds are a 100% bolt-on replacement that utilize factory mounting points. No cutting, drilling, or custom modifications required. Every set also includes our A286 Inconel Stud Kit, eliminating the common hardware issues that cause leaks in OEM setups

Features & Benefits
Cast from premium 347 stainless steel—an alloy trusted in jet engines and refinery equipment—offering exceptional heat resistance and durability up to 1740°F (950°C). Outperforms both OEM cast iron and 304 stainless.
Warped flanges are one of the most common causes of exhaust leaks. ½" thick flanges (vs. OEM’s ⅜") provide a stronger seal, resist distortion, and prevent exhaust leaks over time.
Features a 32% larger outlet (34.5mm) that perfectly matches the turbo inlet, plus individual 30mm runners per cylinder to reduce backpressure and improve turbo response.
Installs easily using factory mounting points—no cutting, drilling, or custom fabrication required.
Unlike other manifolds that struggle with turbo fitment, Formline® manifolds are engineered to seamlessly fit both OEM and larger turbochargers, offering better compatibility and enhanced flow for upgraded setups.
Formline® manifolds include A286 Inconel studs and nuts—a high-strength alloy originally developed for jet engines. These studs resist stretching, corrosion, and fatigue, ensuring long-lasting, leak-free performance under extreme conditions.
Improved exhaust flow directly translates to increased horsepower, torque, and faster turbo spool-up for better engine response and performance.
We stand behind our manifolds with a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
Installation Notes
Designed for the GEN1 3.5L EcoBoost engines, Formline® Turbo Manifolds bolt right into the factory location. No custom fabrication or specialized modifications are needed.
Important: The passenger side lift bracket must be removed to allow the Formline® manifold to seal properly.
Note: We recommend professional installation if you're not familiar with engine work or if you're installing on an F-150 with upgraded turbo setups.
With OEM turbos, the compressor cover heat shield may contact the manifold. This thin shield can be gently bent away to ensure proper clearance. Installation with Garrett PowerMax™ Turbos will require aftermarket wastegates, which are included.
