Never second guess @OrangeStreak!

And talk about how awesome this forum is (I mean, dampers, 'nuff said).

As you saw, I was all excited to get this exhaust tip that OrangeStreak showed, so I went directly to GoRhino to get it (because I have no impulse control). I created an account and punched in 2022 Ford Ranger and it showed me all the shiny things I could buy, including this boss exhaust tip. So I selected it, chose the finish, and added it to the cart, then paid.

Got my confirmation, which also said 22 Ranger ....

But OrangeStreak being the person he is, knew that I was nuts because the tip I ordered is for a 2.75" exhaust. He didn't say I was nuts, which was very gracious, but he did get me to see the error of my ways.

So I called them up to cancel the order (you have to send an email, I guess they may be worried that @AzScorpion calls places to intercept and change orders to dampers).

Now I'll order the correct one and I have a huge debt of gratitude for OrangeStreak and his persistence with those of us who may be a bit daft. =)

Plus, after a bit of lackluster GoRhino customer support where their email says they'll get back to me with 48 hours (that may mean it gets sent out), I decided to toss Jeff Bozos a couple of bucks and got it on Amazon (the right one) for $58.15 versus the $94.69 on GoRhino.

Oh well, measure never and pay the price!

David,
I wouldn't have been surprised if Ford had reduced the tailpipe size for savings considering the convenient features that they've been deleting since the 2019's... :frown:

hmm, got me to thinkin' - smaller tailpipe means less exhaust means less gas burned equals better gas mileage equals sheer genius!

I have one of those - I put a piece of painters tape on the bottom - to indicate correct viewing position- as they are not marked - after you put it in upside down a few times - you will see why I did it - just a small inconvenience to flip right side up - unless you prefer reading it upside down :)
Works great and accurate
