My credo
Its probably better to be self deprecating than self defecating.
The entire manifold back exhaust on the truck could really stand to be replaced.. does anyone know off the top of their heads what size flange I need to get started? Just gonna diy myself a simple stainless setup. The entire exhaust has been replaced in the last few years but.. salt belt + aluminized steel don't mix.

Is this for a older 2.3 or your new Ecoboost?

If it's a older style engine, looks like you will need a pipe with a flare, much like a brake line. Here's a picture I found of it. Can you flare a pipe? The exhaust shop may be able to flare it, but they may not like messing with stainless.

It's for a 2.3 in a '96.


So something like the above link should work correct? I just measured the pipe that comes off the header and it was a hair over 2".. 2.15 or there abouts.
