23 Ranger Tune & Down Pipe?

[Cowboyflyer]

Hello all,
New to the forum, Just wondering if anyone added a down pipe and done
a tune on the 23 Rangers? If so, what tune and pipe?
Is there any difference in the 22's to the 23's as far as engine differences?

Was told by one of the tuning companies that the down pipe did not make that much difference
for the money and trouble. Also that tunes do not adjust for the down pipe!

Trying to learn more before making the right decision.
Looking to do this next mod to mine....

Thanks for any advice.


23 Ranger XLT
Mitsi intercooler, pipes, airbox, BOV valve, Ford catch can.
MRPB dual exhaust.

SPD performance has the downpipe for 22 thru 24 rangers, and I have had very good success with Unleashed tuning however I would like to try the Revolution Auto tune in the name of science as a comparison.

What tune do you have now??

 

[Cowboyflyer]

Sorry, Unleashed is the tune right?
I'm new to this....

 

[Cowboyflyer]

Do you have the down pipe??

 

[My12SecRanger]

yes Unleashed is my current tuner, I have the CVFab downpipe, and I like it a lot

talk with loweredon33s he works for a shop that tunes the rangers and he will give you some good info/dyno charts on what adds hp.

Awesome Patrick!
Not real savvy on this tuning stuff...
Back in the day, it was bolt on!

Thanks

Did an SPD down pipe and full 3" exhaust w/ 5 Star 87 octane Performance tune, and Holy Crap the difference is huge! Would do it again in a second. video of the install. 5 Star tunes for your specific truck with the down pipe, and the '23 tune IS different from the '22 according to all I asked.

I also have the SPD downpipe with Borla Exhaust and added a Borla 16" resonator (toned it down some). Ford's performance tune administered by a certified Ford Technician did not void my warranty. Truck hauls ass...

Thanks, guys, for your input. Was looking at the 5 Star or Livernois.
Could not get through to 5 Star, left message and no response back!

Did either of you guys get a CEL after pipe and tune?
Did either of you add the defouler to your down pipe?

Sorry for the questions, just want to make the right decision.

I have the Unleashed tune and it's awesome. Shifts way way better and hauls butt. I also have a Borla exhaust, no down pipe however. The tunes are very easy these days just plug it in and let the tuner and truck do the work. I have the 93 octane and a tow tune for my 2020 Ranger.

No CEL, down pipe had a cat so no issues. I just selected the tuner I wanted from 5 Star, filled out the questions and had a tune and tuner in a couple days. The turn around and service was great, I had no reason to contact them.
