Im strongly considering upgrading my ranger's exhaust system. I have a 2008 xlt 2wd with a 3.slow liter engine.

My main concern is how a new exhaust sounds on a 3.0 ltr. My greatest fear is going through all the trouble only to find the truck sounds like a ricers fart can.

Gibson I hear is one of the easiest to install, and has a mellower rumble at low speeds and nearly none at high.

Flowmaster ive been told produces a very loud throaty rumble, even audible from within the cabin.

What do you guys recommend, if anything?

Thanks :)

 

i have a flowmaster 50 series on my 3.0 and i like the sound of it.

this video is almost 4 years old but you'll get the idea lol....my truck has changed quite a bit since then haha

there was a flowmaster on mine when we bought it then immediately had a magnaflow put on it....sounds good but you dont have that annoying resonance inside the cab like you get with a flowmaster.

 

Magnaflow ftw.

 

yes on the highway it drives me nuts but thats why i have a nice stereo system to drown it out haha
I need to get it re-run out the back of the truck because its dumped above the rear axle right now and its way louder inside

 

mines louder i think....

straights FTW

 

haha yeah i gotta update my PCM so i can run straight pipes with no cats and no CEL

 

I have magnaflow and it sounds great. Does not sound rice at all. Doesn't sound like a big block either though.

 

Do you have a 3.0 ltr?

 

Yes I do.

 

One of my chick friends said it sounded like a mustang HAHAHAH.

At a red light, a guy next to me asked if it was only a V6 HAHAHAHA.

 

Gibson is a good system, sounds decent, affordable (if you get the aluminized system) and easy to install in your driveway. The stainless system is the same, costs a little more, but will last until you get rid of the truck.

 

i have the 3.slow also, i got a flopro super V single chamber....it sounds badass...if you imagine like what a prerunner should sound like, this is it
