I want to install a pair of JBA Cat4Ward shorty headers (stainless steel) on my truck, but I don't know which set to get, I am unsure if I have an EGR and if I do which side it is on. Does anyone know?

2008 Ford Ranger XLT - Extended Cab
4x4
4.0L V6 SOHC
5 Speed Automatic

 

sounds like your about to waste your money if you think these are going to make your truck any faster.....

 

Post up some good pics of the engine bay and we can tell you!

 

I'm not doing it for power, I am doing it for sound and look:

 

Yes, your 2008 4.0L has EGR and the EGR tube is on the driver side exhaust manifold.

 

What's with the two air filters?

 

^ What Bob said.

This is your EGR valve for future reference:

 

I pulled that cone off about a day after i put it on, i really have no idea why i left it on lol

 

For sound and look, its not worth it.

1 you can barely see them with the hood open.

2 They sound more like an exhuast leak then good engine noise. Mostly because the tube thickness is way less then the cast manifold thickness.

These engines just don't flow enough air to get a good rumble going.

 

If ya want sound, go with an MBRP cat back.
Best low rumble exhaust I've heard on these 4.0's
