4" exhaust setup
Okay so I am building a 250 inline to put in a Ranger. Im just doing a mild build mainly concentrating on torque only. So basically what the exhaust system will be dual outlet headers to 2 1/4" piping to a resonator or glasspack. Now this is where my question comes in. I wound up with a bunch of 4" exhaust tubing and mandrel bends for a 18 wheeler, and it's aluminized. I was going to run to the muffler and then since the OD of the muffler is 4", I was going to make the tailpipe from the 4" and just weld it to the OD of the muffler. I figured it would be about the same as building a "dumped exhaust". I know I might loose a few ft.lbs. of torque but don't really think it will be much.
I'm looking for a real deep sounding exhaust note from an inline 6, okay I want this to sound like a cummins diesel there I said it ha ha!

Yeah, I know. I've heard some Jeep 4.0's with straight pipes or no exhaust at all and they sound pretty close to a Cummins, that is if they keep the rpm's down and at idle. Once you hit around 3,000 rpm's, you start getting that tell tale high pitch Detroit Diesel 6 cylinder sound. This will probably be as close to a Cummins as I will ever get. I just really don't need a truck that big for what I do, which is haul a zero turn around on a 12' trailer ha ha!
But it'll turn some heads considering it going in my 96' Ranger now instead of my older 80's Ranger. An I6 sounds totally different than a V6 and Ford never put an I6 in a Ranger.
I use this truck for daily driving and for work, I look at it like this. People spend thousand's of dollars building hot cars like Mustangs, Cudas, Camaros, etc. etc.. and only drive them 10 times a year, how cool would it be to drive that thing every day and make a buck or two while your at it.
And thanks for being a good sport with the answer and not bashing me about the size ha ha!
