Hey all. this is my last resort, I have spent way to much time looking for this. Are there any performance headers that actually FIT on a 2001 2.5L 2WD ranger available to buy that will be a direct oe replacement. I'm even up for a little fabrication. I hear the early 2.3l can be used but not sure which years that are compatible with my particular year of 2.5L. Thanks in advance for all the help!!

 

the 95-97 rangers had a tube header from the factory it'll bolt up to the head fine, not sure if the egr is different on the 2.5 but i'm sure it wouldn't be that bad to bolt on.

Any of the 2.3 exhaust will bolt onto the head of the 2.5 (they are the same engine, just stroked). so the performance headers from the mustang guys would work. Not like its gonna add much hp anyway to the motor.

 

thanks for info...yeah i'm not trying to get a ton of hp out of a 4 banger just figured if i'm replacing the rest of the exhaust mine as well replace that too. thank again for the tips.
