8/11/2024 - Race Downpipe

I found a Ranger downpipe on Facebook Marketplace for ~$200. I instantly bought it as it was a really good deal and wasn’t as expensive as those aftermarket downpipes that still have catalytics in them.

Got it in today, and went straight to work with the crowbar, drills and everything I had to get the honeycomb out of the pipe. It really didn’t take long as it just started to fall apart. I wore a 3M respirator the whole time because I wasn’t sure how toxic those heavy metals were.

Then I had to remove the stock downpipe to put this one in its place. The top 3 bolts holding it in are extremely hard to get to but we managed. Ended up having to use a lot of extensions piled on each other to even reach the nuts way up in the engine bay. The whole exhaust had to be taken off the hangers and slid back to even get it out.

We put the race downpipe in the truck, which was a lot easier than getting it out now that we knew what to do.

Now, it actually sounds pretty good for an I4. I have an electronic cutoff so I will be able to route the exhaust through the muffler if I want to, for long road trips or things like that. Overall, not that hard just took awhile.

New project- this should be fun! 1992 Ranger.

I'm tired of tearing up the daily and replacing parts- so I got this thing! Driveshaft flew off on the way home and hit another vehicle.

Hopefully no one was hurt...

Thank God right? Would’ve hated to see that
