I am building these as a side project to hopefully make doing your own custom exhaust a little easier - or maybe your catalytic converter was stolen and you are having some sticker shock at the price of a new one... whatever the case is, using an aftermarket catalytic converter is usually substantially cheaper than a full OEM assembly. This part will convert your factory Y pipe into a single 2.5" round outlet without modifying it at all. Simply unbolt your existing catalytic converter, bolt my part on with a new gasket & new bolts, and clamp or weld new pipe after that. Here are a few details you need to know:
- This is NOT a cat delete device; it is a violation of federal law to use it as such. Don't do it.
- Fits 1990-? 4.0 Rangers & Explorers, possibly some late 80's-'92 trucks with 2.9 V6 engines
- Does NOT fit any other application and I do not have a part to fit those at this time.
- Assembly is approximately 8" long w/ 4" of straight 2.5" tubing at the outlet
- Flange is 1/4" mild steel, CNC plasma cut to the shape of your flange
- You will need to cut a section off of the inner Y pipe to accommodate the squeeze into one pipe - see second picture. Leave approximately 1/2" to 1"
- Be sure that this is what you need, there will be no returns.
- Price for a complete conversion piece is $65 plus shipping and the price for the flat flange ONLY, DIY version is $25+ shipping.
- These are made to order; I have 3 complete assemblies and 3 flanges on hand as of 1-21-2024
- Private message me to order.
