Dual exhaust

[86ranger4.0]

I can get a f150 flowmaster dual exhaust for free. Just haven't had time to pic it up yet. Would it work on a ranger?

i dont see why it wont work with a little modification. off course all the hangers will not line up so you will have to weld in new hangers and maybe trim up the length and width. i mean hell its FREE cant beat that

Lets see... You will probably need to make it shorter and skinnier, do custom hangers, and do something custom to connect it all to your headers or whatever.

Sounds easy enough for free!

The only question is how big are the pipes? Bigger is not always better with something like this...

Taken right out of the tech library, I have a quote from Pat Kunz, who used to write Kunz Korner at www.fordranger.com

"Now for the ever controversial exhaust pipe size dilemma. Here's my recommendations, take it or leave it for what it is, bur for full duals stay with 2" pipe as long as you can at least 3 or 4 feet after the h-pipe then you can go slightly larger for the muffler etc, but stay 2.25 or under if possible (2.5 at the tip won't hurt though) but stay 2" or above. now for single exhaust I recommend 2.5" for any modified 2.9. 2.25" at a minimum, and if you split the single pipe the dualed pipes should use the size recommend for the duals meaning when you first do the split stay 2"s for a bit then you can go larger down the line."

Well, anything is possible with a sawzall and a welder.

He said either 21/2 or 2 1/4

From the pictures, I would say you want 2.5" coming into the cat (the single pipe) and 2" duals coming out. 2.5" duals coming out of the cat is going to be too big most likely. Bigger exhaust is good at higher RPMs, but its only going to hurt you in lower rpms
