Mike, What year did Ford change the 4.0 Ranger to OBDII? I am thinking changing Shelby over.. Would there be any benefit in doing so? Mine doesn't have an EGR so would that be an issue if newer 4Ls have one? I am thinking OBDIIwill make it easier to turbo charge?

They changed over in 1995 with the dash change. The only real reason i would run OBDII would be for the more advanced PCM codes. I think you would probably get an EGR code, and as for turbocharging I don't know which one would be easier.

I talked to Ryan, plan on meeting up with him for coffee or something on the way down. That would be a pretty killer get-together with the crew though

Well I got sick and tired of my trucks stock sound. Went for decent modified side dump exhaust. Went from 2 cats to one, and butchered up an F-150 Limited Exhaust for the tip and the angle. There are only 750 of the 2008 Special Edition Limiteds in Canada and I got to hack the exhaust from one up for my Ranger

I need to put a couple more hangers on. But the sound is killer.

Can you tell it's spring thaw?

So far I'm really happy with the old Ranger Interceptor.

i got the same exhaust set up! love it! sounds better without a pipe leading out to the side!! lol but i love the tip exiting there! its got a growl to it but still sounds good with the 4.0L!

I originally had both cats and had the muffler on the factory pipe, it sounded really good until I put the tailpipe on. Then it got quiet. The single cat large pipe was actually something one of my co-workers kept telling me to do right from the beginning In the end I'm glad I kept one cat, I know a guy that took them both out and it was a little buzzy for my taste. This set up sounds good and looks pretty sweet too
