Hello I have 2003 ranger I think it's a edge due to the hood bumper and grill design. 3.0 4x4 someone had cut the cats off and the y pipe. I'm trying to replace the y pipe but all the ranger 3.0 pipe I try is smaller diameter at the flange and donut gasket. I could possibly drill the holes where it bolts to manifold to make it fit but the donut gasket still doesn't. From what I've read all the rangers exhaust should be the same but I've purchased 3 from the junk yard and had 2 sets of y pipes already they are pretty much all different in some way. Such a the way the curve and bend but everyone seems to have the same stamped manifold flange and same size donut besides this edge pipe it's actually a steel flange not stamped and has wider offset holes. Does anyone have a idea why it what other vehicle may have the same style that will fit.. Thanks

 

Looking online, looks like only 01-03 will work.

Are you sure you have a 3.0 and not 4.0?

 

do you need the cats? check your VIN info.
