exhaust help...

[JCUZ]

JCUZ - thanks for the words of wisdom dude !!

i hopefully will be getting a flowmaster 40 or 44 muffler 2 1/4 inlet to 2 1/2 outlet then 2 1/2 pipe from there out...

i have to look to see if they make that size but, im sure there is...

If not, the exhaust place should be able to open up the 2 1/4 pipe to suit a 2.5" inlet - they just use a pipe flanger to do it; it kind of stretches the pipe out more - that's what they did to mine anyway, to fit my 2.5" muffler into the 2 1/4" piping.

I would not go any bigger then 2.75" on an Explorer with the V8 and 2.5" on the V6.

I had 3" on a 5.2L V8 and in my opinion, the low end tq. was washy at best...Don't get me wrong, it was still good, but before I got it done I could punch it going down the freeway in drive and it would go, afterward, it bogged and took it longer to make the same adjustment.
