Built specifically for the 1998-2011 Ford Ranger with the 3.0L or 4.0L engine, the MBRP S5226AL cat-back exhaust replaces the factory system from the catalytic converter back with a single side-exit configuration that flows more freely and delivers a deeper, more aggressive exhaust note.
Aluminized steel construction for lasting durability. Aluminized steel resists corrosion and handles the thermal cycling of daily driving and weekend work without warping or scaling. The finish holds up across a wide range of climates and driving conditions, making it a practical long-term upgrade for a truck that earns its keep.
Cat-back fitment keeps installation straightforward. The system picks up at the catalytic converter outlet and replaces only the mid-pipe and muffler section, so no oxygen sensor relocation or emissions hardware modification is required. Factory hangers and mounting points align with MBRP's brackets, keeping the install manageable with common hand tools.
Broad trim-level compatibility across the generation. The S5226AL fits XL, XLT, Edge, Sport, STX, Splash, Tremor, and FX4 trims spanning the full 1998-2011 model run, covering both the 3.0L Vulcan V6 and the 4.0L SOHC V6 applications.
