I have a 1996 Explorer 5.0. I'd like to get a good, complete exhaust system for it. My mustang has dual 2 1/2". Does such a kit exist for the Explorer or am I best off fabricating on my own? What supercharger kits exist for this? Are there ones to stay away from? I only just found this site today. I have been looking for information on these 2 topics for about 2 months. I have not found anyone who makes a good sized dual exhaust kit. Supercharger kits are easier to find but I am not familiar enough with the market to know who the players are. Any help you all can give me would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

i don't know the exhaust layout on the 96 my 2000 has fms headers.(best hp improvment fo 260 bucks)stock 2.5" to cats,after cats i put a custom 2.5"x-pipe and two 2.5 edelbrock mufflers and ran 2.5 duals out to stock location flows like heck.superchargers being a 96 you have internal egr.you can't use a positive displacement like explorerexpress.com has.kenne bell might have that style though.powerdyne has one for you though.summit sells it for 2999.95

 

hi there.

Check and see if Ford has a supercharger kit.I know that they have one for the F150's and such. I believe Ford has a high performance catalog full of products. Where you can get one, I'm not too sure yet as I am looking for one myself. Good luck.

 

This is probably a stupid question. But couldn't I just swap out the upper and lower intake manifolds to take care of the EGR issue?

 

yes if you use a later explorer intake elbow and egr pipe from exhaust.i don't see why not.but don't know for sure let us know how you make out.the 97s had external so make sure you use those headers not the 96s

 

try looking under summit racing equipment they offer a supercharger that claims to make 5.0 power out of a 4.0 check it out:-X11

 

 

New user here.

I have a 1996 XLT Explorer w/a 6 cyl that I want to put dual exhaust on. I pull a camping trailer and thought that by going with duals, it would help engine run better. Of course, since I'm going to put dual exhaust, I want some sound also.

Should I go from CAT back or is there something else?

Thanks for your help!!

 

jams96xlt - I'd go with a Flow-master 40 Delta series. I would stick with a single 2.5" pipe, but they also have single in dual out. Stick with a Cat-back system for now and look into some free flow cats later down the line. I would look at getting a K/N drop in filter or a KKN open filter too. Getting a performance chip with dual settings. 1 could be for daily driving and the other for when you are towing would help a lot also. Explorer Express has a good selection of power parts to give you some ideas and if you can afford the upgrades they are a great company to deal with.

CharlieTuna - For the 5.0 I would go with a Flow-master 50 Delta series, a chip and look at the Explorer Express Super Charger.
