good question
Has anybody ever used one of these on a 1994 4.0?. It also does not have cats
 
Thousands and thousands of people have used mufflers on their 1994 4.0l Rangers. In fact, Ford installed one in every truck they sold.

I’ve got a 1994 ford ranger 4.0 with no cats. What is a good muffler for it? I belive mine is factory. No I don’t want it sounding like a fart cannon either. If that is all I’ve got then I’ll just leave it stock. Anybody have experience with this one?

Looks like a generic Thrush style. I don’t like them because they seem to rot fast around here. I went to welded mufflers rather than those crimped seam ends. Anymore I’m mostly Flowmaster 40/super 44 unless it’s a v-8, then it’s Magnaflow.

It's hard to get away from that ricer sound with a six cylinder. Even the ecoboost turbo sixes they have now sound like a ricer.

Ah okay. Should I just leave it be then probably

IMO barring very unusual circumstances 4 and 6 cylinders are best seen and not heard. :icon_thumby:

I don't know. My 98 had a single inlet dual outlet on it with dual exhaust out the rear. With no cats. Sound pretty throaty when on the gas. Not much difference at idle. It had a slight drone if I remember correctly but I was a lot younger so I just made the stereo louder haha.
 
Thrush is Walkers lower line now, I have a Dynomax Super Turbo behind the 351 in my Ranger. A loud muffler on a six cylinder sounds like a flatulent cow, a cat in front of a turbo muffler would act like a resonator and help with that.

Cologne engines sound really good with a Flowmaster flowFX. They're euro sounding (cologne is a euro engine) if you're into that sort of thing (I am).
 
On my turbo ranger I got a Thrush Welded muffler, I really like how it sounds, doesn't sound like a 4 cylinder (or at least not obnoxious), but the rotary muffler helps that... Over the years I've had to weld it back together a couple times from fatigue but it wasn't well supported for a long time and well it's been on there for 15 years now...
