So i've started down the path of modifying the Ranger and one of the biggest things i'm actually struggling with is finding a solid Turboback setup.

Downpipes appear like SPD or AFE twisted series, but most of the "Catbacks" seem to bolt up to the midpipe section. Of the exhausts I can find that run to the downpipe (Include a midpipe run) they seem to be 409 Stainless or aluminized steel so I have concerns of how well they will hold up. One of the few 304 SS exhausts is the borla but it doesn't include a midpipe section.

So I'm curious what you guys are doing, appreciate the info on how those of you have, are doing turboback setups.

SPD provides a 304 SS catback system. This is my current choice, combined with their 3" exit downpipe.

That's awesome I didn't know that the entire spd system was 304. I thought i remember reading it was just the mufflers.

Do you have any sound clips?

Use the same link. They have a burnout clip right there. It does not seem many people have gone with the SPD system, I am not entirely sure why.

I picked the MBRP because I liked the sound the best for what was out last year. It's 304 stainless and includes a midpipe but the first ~5" of it is less than 3" so it will bolt up to the stock downpipe. After putting on the SPD SS downpipe, I just cut that section out and replaced it with a 3" section so it's all 3".

Maybe just have a custom pipe made to connect the two out of 304. Should be cheap based on the length and no bends.

The SPD Videos are really awfully recorded. IMHO, Speedbuilt hit the mark, making a custom pipe seeing how its essentially a straight shot might be the best solution.
