2000 Ford ranger y pipe help
So recently I started looking for a terrible exhaust leak. And I finally found it the cats and the y pipe is starting to fall apart and has a couple holes. Nobody sells this y pipe for a 2000 3.0 anymore. Any ideas for something that would bolt up? Don't mind if it's a off-road pipe with no cats just can't find anything everything is discontinued and idk if the 4.0 stuff would bolt up and fit.

Very strange didn't pop up I googled it for two days now. But if that's the case is there a pipe with no cats?

No. None without cats. There are for the older square bodies, but none for newer models.
1998-2000 are different from 2001-2003. I just replaced my y-pipe on my 2003 Ranger Edge 3.0L . I looked for weeks before biting the bullet on a brand new Walker y-pipe part number 50203. Runs so much better now, but when I pulled it out of the box from rockauto I was shocked at the amount of wri kles in the bends. I also coated it with high temperature VHT Primer and Aluminum spray paint because the welds will definitely rust later leaving them exposed to the elements. If the factory y-pipe was hogged out I'm sure it would flow better, but I kept in mind that trying to make power with these trucks is like hoping a penguin will fly if you throw it off a cliff. I'd rather take the old y-pipe to where I could get cash for the precious metals in the converters alone. The recyclers won't take chunks of the converter that were punched out. Only whole, unmolested.
