I have to do a complete exhaust system replacement on my 06. I've looked through the forum but can't find anyone with this question. Will an exhaust system from a 4.0L bolt up to a 4.6L truck? I don't want to spend a grand on a Gibson cat-back system, and any of the other kits for v8s come with both a muffler and resonator because that's how the 4.6 exhaust system was designed. 4.0L applications do not have a resonator, only a muffler. So I'm thinking I can buy the piping kit for a 4.0 and get my own Flowmaster to bolt in. Has anyone done this? As far as I know, these trucks both came from the factory with 2.25 piping. I really can't find a difference between the two applications other than the v8 has a resonator. The dimensions look very similar. Can anyone here confirm if the systems are interchangeable? Pics of each exhaust system on Rockauto attached so you get my idea.
