Dual Exhaust - Options...?
hey lately ive been thinking about installing a dual exhaust system into my 08 ranger. just wondering if anyone has any suggestions?? or pictures? also could this interfere with a suspension lift later on down the road?? thanks

What kind of sound are you looking for loud, quiet, or medium? I have a Borla pro X/S muffler SI/DO, and it isn't that loud. I love it. I used to have glass packs and they were just to flippin loud for me.

Yeah like Mike said, Borla & Magnaflow are close in sound...nice quality deep tone, quality exhaust systems.
Flowmaster is a good choice too if you like loud. The 40 series is pretty dang loud on the rangers, but it sounds dicent. Then you got the guys who run glasspacks, straight pipes etc...Lose MPG, HP and the respect of the local PD I Myself have Magnaflow SI/DO 2.5'' Stainless with Magnaflow 4'' rolled 15* tips. Sounds incredible!! |
Not exactly....
To answer your question, no but you'll need to see about relocating your gas tank to run duals. Magnaflow and Borla are High quality exhaust systems and some are close to each other in sound. As far as Flowmaster goes it really depends on which series you get and you'll need an H Pipe for proper mounting. It shouldn't interfere with a suspension lift because alot of Guys and Gals do that during a V8 swap to get additional clearance for that paticular purpose. The Glass Packs will be crazy loud and are damn near illegal. Plus, once they burn out you'll have strait pipes and that will burn your valves up rather quickly (Fuel Injection especially). The flowmaster american thunder 40 series is what I have and compared to what was on there it's quiet. Stick with your stock pipe size which is 2.25 inches in diameter. For the money Flowmaster is tuff to be on a budget. Magnaflow aint bad price wise, but bring the bank for Borla or Bassani. They are by no means cheap.

Sorry about...
Sorry about that being so long. The part that really determines your exhaust sound is the Valves and Camshaft. Plus your engine needs some back pressure to retain your HP levels and Fuel MPG's.

Heres a clip of my truck mostly stock with a dual setup out the back...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NF042...eature=related I will be tossing up a new one here whenever the weather stops being rainy enough to set my camera back up.. Since the recording, I've put a bunch of stuff into the engine.. including headers, cold air intake, and a couple other mods here and there. Hopefully, I may be able to tomorrow, news is showing the weather clearing up a bit =) |
I've got a Gibson Extreme Dual Exhaust and I love it, its more on the medium sound but its got a nice deep tone to it. And it looks great on the truck.

Uh why don't you tell that to the 20+ members on here running duals?

Oh not true duals with 2 mufflers, the Rangers don't have enough room. You can run dual exit pipes though.
|
1 into 2 simulates duals, but I want tru duals but can't find anyone willing to do the work with the exception of the guy that's doing the V8 swap for me. Maybe I should speak to him.

Lets start by killing the myths.
"Straight pipes rob HP" Not true at all. I don't know who told you that, but you should club em. Cherry bombs do though. "A little backpressure is a good thing" Not true either. Backpressure is NEVER a good thing. Scavaging is. (where one "puff" of exhaust sucks the next "puff" out of the pipes( Much like a big air siphon)) That came from my neighbor who has been building high preformance gas and deezil engines for over 30 years. So I trust it. |
Do you know if cherry bomb mufflers rob hp at all? im not talking about the glasspacks. I am considering getting a cherry bomb cat back.
