Summary
2020-2023 Explorer non-hybrid vehicles equipped with a 3.0L EcoBoost or 3.3L Duratec engine and 2020-2023 Aviator non-hybrid vehicles equipped with a 3.0L EcoBoost engine may exhibit an exhaust rattle requiring replacement of the left or right exhaust flexible pipe (5G203). The updated part locates the flexible joint portion of the pipe closer toward the catalytic converter than the originally equipped part. This is due to a design change with these replacement components which will not cause any functional issues with the vehicle.

Steelsoft Heavy Duty Worm Gear Hose Clamp Assortment Kit 14 PCS(5/16 to 2-3/4 inch),All 5/16"HEX,Adjustable Stainless Steel Hose Clamps for Fuel Line,Automotive,Garden
- Non-Stripping: The band of our hose clamp kit is thick and non-perforated. Most typical hose clamps are thin and perforated which's easy to deform and strip the perforations if the screw clamp is over-torqued. The buckle bottom is welded into one-piece housing for higher tensile strength. These hose clamps are heavy duty to provide superior clamping force for solid & safe seal!
- Hose Protection: As our 4th picture, the rolled-up band is to prevent metal edge cutting into the soft hoses(silicone, pvc or rubber). This is a safe design to eliminate hose damage when final torquing, especially for fuel line gas line, heater and automotive projects.
- Non-Perforated Solid Band: Our non-perforated band is virtually impervious to over-tightening, deformed and stripping. The thicker metal is less vulnerable to stress cracking, so the life of metal clamps can last longer. The embossed band also protects the soft hoses from shearing or extruding ("cheese-grater" makes you hard to remove the tubing clamps out of hoses).
- Non-Metric Sizes: The slotted screw HEX head is 5/16". Compared with other metric size adjustable hose clamps, our hose clips clamps were engraved clear inch sizes on band for easy and fast identification when using. This hose clamp set include 7 sizes: 2 PCS each of 5/16 to 1/2", 3/8 to 5/8", 1/2 to 3/4", 5/8 to 1-1/16", 1 to 1-5/8", 1-1/4 to 2" and 2 to 2-3/4".
