- 2002 ranger
so i finished my exhasut on the 02 ranger, and let me just say, it came out great!
it made the sohc sound as v8ish as ive ever heard a ranger or explorer sound. it almost sounds similiar to a diesel up a high rpms. it can be a little loud at times, but i like it.
so anyway, what im runnin is, i removed both downstream cats by unbolting them at the plate where the two pipes y together.
then i ran two straight pipes out, and y'd them together into 2.25, ran that back, and turned it and dumped it out the side, b4 passenger tire.
so right now i still have the two upstream cats, and thats it, no muffler, and it is surprisingly quiet for having no muffler. but the y and pipe that runs under the cab really quiet it down.
i might add a small muffler like a super 44, or a cherry bomb extreme, but for now, im gonna leave it.
anyway thought id just say that, if you live somewhere that you can remove the downstream cats, or drive offroad only, you can make your sohc sound very, non-ricey.
i can post pics and sound clips later if ppl want
