Sorry for the huge pics. I resized them on Photobucket but for some reason they resize didn't apply when I posted the pics. No clue.
Anyway, I had the Boss @ the local dealer Mel Hambelton Ford a few months ago to fix some transmission issues. The car was there for 3 or 4 days waiting on parts. I finally pick the car up from the dealer, drove the few miles home and don't drive it again for a week or so. When I did drive it again, I noticed a terrible exhaust leak. Wasn't really noticeable when I picked it up from the dealer but on a cold start, wow, was it noticeable. I take it back and leave it for the day. The service writer calls and says they need to order a part, come pick the car up and they will call me when the part is in. Not sure why they needed to order parts but oh well. I pick the car up the same day and the exhaust leak is worse than it was when I dropped it off!!!??? If I had to guess, I'd say the tech hammered the hell out of the bolts hoping to seal off the leak and f'd something else up! After a few days, the part comes in and it gets installed and everything is fine. At least that's what I thought until last night......
my 2013 has only 1340 miles and has never been up on a lift without me standing there... mine looks very similar... my guess is it was designed to eliminate resonance...
They look like that because the same part is used on both sides. One needs to be flushed down for ckearance . The other us just the same part upside down. Its not an issue.
