Spec-led: With a mandrel-bent T409 stainless steel construction and a single side exit, the MBRP S5226409 cat-back exhaust replaces the entire factory system from the catalytic converter back on 1998-2011 Ford Rangers equipped with the 3.0L or 4.0L engine.
T409 stainless steel throughout. T409 stainless resists corrosion and high-cycle thermal fatigue, making it a durable choice for a truck that sees year-round use, off-road dust, or regular hauling. The material holds up to the heat cycles and road exposure that wear out mild-steel systems well before their time.
Mandrel-bent tubing for consistent flow. Mandrel bending keeps the tube diameter constant through every curve, eliminating the pinch points that restrict exhaust gas velocity in crush-bent systems. Unrestricted flow reduces backpressure across the 3.0L V6 and 4.0L SOHC power bands, letting the engine exhale more efficiently.
Single side exit configuration. The single side exit routes the exhaust cleanly out the passenger side, preserving ground clearance and keeping the outlet away from tow hitches or aftermarket accessories mounted at the rear.
Wide trim and year compatibility. This system fits Splash, XL, XLT, Edge, Sport, Tremor, FX4, and STX trim levels across the full 1998 through 2011 Ranger lineup, covering both the 3.0L and 4.0L V6 applications in a single part number.
