what size exhaust would sound the best???????????????

What size exhaust would sound the best form cat back on a 1993 ford ranger 4.0? 3? 2.5?, nice deep throaty sound but don't make it sound like ass, and of course duals

 

[07rangersport]

Don't go any bigger than 2.5. I would go 2.5 into the muffler and dual 2.25 out with like 3.5" tips. Thats just me though. But def. don't go bigger than 2.5

i wouldnt waste my money on split duals. they add the weight, cost, and complexity of duals, but still sound the same as single.

id go with a good 2.5" mendral bent single system.

Sounds pretty good but still has a v-6 twang to it--try NO muffler with drilled out Harley mufflers at the end of the exhaust pipe for a 289cu.in. v-8 sound(or just follow Wicked's advice & save urself a lot of work)....

Single in single out 2.5 inch setup running through the stock exhaust location with a good muffler works out just fine.

I really like the idea of a single 2.5" routed where the factory exhaust is now. A nice subtle chrome tip 3" or so tucked neatly so it doesn't hang down far...

But you want duals, so a 2.5" inlet/2.25" dual outlet would sound nice. Run it straight back and tuck it up neatly. A lot of people run flowmaster, but it won't give you the V8 sound like most people hope for. I have heard the borla mufflers, and I really like the exhaust note they emit. I use a flopro muffler and love it. Its a deep powerful sound and I get a lot of compliments on it. check out www.flopro.com

how much do the flowpros run. and what type do you have on yours

I'm running 3 inch custom mandrel bent single through a flowmaster exiting out behind the pass. tire (factory location). With the 3 liter V6 it has a nice rumble at idle and is pretty throaty throughout the rpm range. Alot of people ask if I'm running a 5.0 but I guess it sounds pretty good. The only problem I found with this setup is it throws a code (insufficient exaust back pressure) and sets off the check engine light.

 

[Wicked_Sludge]

your running too large of a pipe for your displacement and RPM. your loosing bottom end performance with that setup (as well as confusing your EGR system).

 

[GoGoPowerRanger]

Whats strange is I have a very good launch and low end power, way better than that 1.75 stock exaust. I was thinking of dropping it down to 2.5 inch though mainly to keep the Hondaricers from wanting to race all the time and getting pissed when they can't keep up.

 

[Wicked_Sludge]

stock is 2".

i guaranty your loosing torque with that large of a pipe. hit the dyno, you'll see

3 inch is definitely WAY TOO BIG.. 2.25 or 2.5 should be fine. I have 3 inch on a worked 350 and if I didn't go with cats it would have been 2.5.

I have 2-1/2 inch pipe with a 2-1/2 in/out cherry bomb glasspack on mine, it needs a flowmaster
