Ok, I have a 93 Ranger with the 4.0 and its time for a new exhaust system. Anyway, I have decided to just buy a muffler and have my local exhaust shop do all the work. I have narrowed it down to these mufflers.

1. Magnaflow round 2.5" in/out (stainless) $69.99
2. Dynomax Ultra Flow round 2.5" in/out (aluminized) $73.99
3. Moroso spiral flow 2.5" in/out (untreated steel?) $46.99
4. Flowmaster 40-series 2.5" in/out (aluminized) $59.99
5. other (you guys suggest) ***up to $75***

I will have a 2.5" single aluminized pipe ran after the converter with a single stainless exhaust tip exiting after the passenger rear tire.
PLEASE DON'T SUGGEST GLASSPACKS BECAUSE THAT'S JUST GAY!

 

DYNOMAX 3"in/out Y'pipe To DUALS
sounds nice on my 5.4 F-150

 

I'd go with the Magnaflow or Flowmaster on the 4.0.

 

nothing but pipe
the cat will keep it quiet and back pressure

 

I had a thrush trubo muffler on my Ranger and it sounded good and was cheap.

 

I need a muffler no straights even with converter. This is a daily driver...and NO DUALS thats just gay on a V6.

 

Oh yeah... a turbo muffler has a nice tone to it. Deep and rumbly and should be pretty mellow.

 

turbo mufflers are queit restrictive and gay. go with glasspacks! there deeper and louder!

 

Glasspacks sound ok on V8's but sound like crap on a V6. I originaly had a glasspack on my ranger witht the cats still on and it sounded bad. Then put the Thrush muffler on and it was much better, next I got rid of both cats and then it sounded great.

 

That pretty sums up what I think about glasspacks.

I have seen alot of systems on the internet and people seem to like split duals. Should I run a Y-pipe and duals that come out under the bumper or stay with a single?

 

I would just run a sinle pipe unless you really want the looks of the duals.

 

nobody sounds better than flowmaster

 

I agree about Flowmaster for V8s. On my 77 F-150 I have dual Flowmaster 40s and those paired with the lopey 460 sound pretty mean. But on a V6 I just think they would sound really hollow and tinny (no tiny as in small).

So I think I'm gonna get a Magnaflow unless there is a strong objection to that. Has anybody heard these on a 4.0 and not liked them?

 

dude......how can you say glasspacks are gay? I have an 83 f-100 with a 3.8 V6. i just spent 300 for a flowmaster 40 series single in dual out system... and it sounded good at idle but when i hit the rev's, it sounded like a ricer. i took my cat and everything off and slipped an 18" thrush glasspack on there(dumped). it sounds awesome...for bigger motors, i would say flows but on tiny 6's go with a glasspackyoull thank your self

 

The 50 series Flowmaster doesn't sound as tinny as the 40 on the 6 cyl. I had one on my Jeep. Don't even put a glasspack on a 6 cyl.... please.................
