Your buddy did a nice job on his truck, Bronco rims really set it off.

[@Davido50]

Beautiful truck! You can't beat these current Gen Rangers. Super solid. Superb proven powertrain. Great technology & very comfortable compared to a '17 Taco TRD. Excited for all new '24 Ranger Raptor! 🇺🇸

[@Tiersmoke92555]

Still sounds like a '96 corolla

[@nicoledodds7182]

Had a ‘01 S10 years ago & threw a classic Thrush glass pack on it after I bought it & absolutely loved it. Just a little 4 banger baby truck but she held her own & all of my buddies in their loud trucks loved it too! A truck is a truck no matter it’s cylinders or size imo, do whatever you want to it & make it yours! 🤙🏻

[@stkiswr]

I have a 19 and if you don’t want the auto start stop to engage, just unplug the connector on the negative battery post. You will not throw a code and it will never engage the feature.

[@blt198998]

It does throw a code, just not a check engine light. There will still be a stored code when you pull codes

[@TruthOverLies]

Plug a $5 nightlight in the rear console outlet

[@ALMX5DP]

I think it can be done in Forscan as well, which sounds like the owner has and knows how to use.

[@stkiswr]

@@blt198998 where is the code Brad? It doesn’t show up on my scan tool or my ford tuner. If you tell me where the code is I’ll go take a pic of it lol…who cares about some invisible flag for a battery monitor

[@Jessecottner]

That would be your battery monitor sensor. That should be plugged in.

[@dorothypeper1578]

Definitely take it to the On-X Off-Road Course at Tumbleweed!

[@etienneprinsloo6799]

We recently completed an eight thousand kilometre trip swinging through the Southern States with our Ranger. It has a K and N cold air intake, a Ford programmer, an UPR catch can and Camburg UCA's. It was absolutely magnificent, great seats, nice and quiet inside and awesome fuel consumption. Off road handling was secure and stable. The mods we did really did make a huge difference. Great truck.

[@WW-wf8tu]

Good looking machine. Always down for content on your OR course at the ranch. This upgrade enhances the sturdiness. Probably lightened the load a tad.

[@krasnaludek298]

Nice looking Ranger for sure! Very tasteful & functional upgrades. 👍🏻🇺🇸

[@Silverback_GMT410]

It looks pretty cool! That black exhaust tip ties in pretty well! Seemed pretty quiet at start up.

[@PrelandRanger]

I run the flowmaster on my 2020 and it’s perfect in my opinion it’s alot deeper I don’t know if it helps but I’m also running a roush intake turbosmart bov and roush tune with a bunch of other things.

[@TheNotimprezed]

Time for the Ford Performance tune! Good power boost and retains warrenty!

[@jimh.412]

Do you have it? My brother might get it for his Ranger. The dealer has to put it in right and program it?

[@TheNotimprezed]

@@jimh.412 no, driving sports TV added it to their tremor and loved it. Usually dealer install or ase certified. The downside is other tunes are cheaper and offer more power, but they will void warranty.

[@jimh.412]

@@TheNotimprezed Ok yeah I think he would stick with the Ford one for the warranty.

[@JLC8504]

The dealer has to put it on if you care about the warranty. But if you over the 3 year/36k warranty then it doesn't matter.

[@jimh.412]

@@JLC8504 Ok yeah my brother only has like 15k on his truck.

[@PaulGriffith]

What is the acceleration and MPG after the mod?

[@tribalsean]

Cool video. I have been watching the magnaflow series. Would you guys do a video on the overland series model? Curios to how that one performs. Thank you for a great video. Keep on keepin on

[@mhviper1987]

Sweet truck, 100% you better run this thru the ranch course.

[@jay2039]

Some people moan on and on about how 4 cylinders don’t sound good, but that magnaflow has a mature, deep subtle sound. No raspiness, no rapid gun shot backfires like the Bimmer guys simp over. I like it.

[@alphak6325]

I put a Borla S Type on my Ranger and I’m very happy with it!

[@BuilderJay]

How did you turn off the "Fake sound" in the cab?

[@ColJonSquall1]

its a nice exhaust, though if you're having departure angle issues with a side exit, Magnaflow does make an offroad kit, to keep the exhaust tucked up to the body and frame.

[@Malc664]

That's the best option. Mine's like that

[@JFlogerzi]

@@Malc664 Link?

[@machfive916]

Sounds good. Perhaps Andre will experiment with a new exhaust system for his 2.7 liter I-4 turbo.

[@kevin1kraemer1]

Your friend did a great job on those rock sliders ! How can I get some ?

[@TaigaTurf]

Not bad.. But makes me appreciate the sound of a big diesel that much more.

[@kennethnicklowicz1030]

yall ngl i wanna put this on my 2018 eco sport now.. I installed headers and magnaflow universal on my 2004 FOrd Expedition and loved the roar that thing had

[@muhammadabrooramrullah996]

In Indonesia, people modify their 4 cyl car with 4-2-2 or 4-3-2 header to get badass harley-rumbling sound!! 😂 and its pretty cool tho!!

[@duramaxadventures5832]

the mono leaf concerns me on the 2024 Ranger. Hopefully 2022 Tremor springs still fit!

[@charlescasta5214]

Invite him to Tumbleweed Ranch

[@thecheese302]

newer to the channel, but have to throw a "go birds" here. though i am not a football guy, will always respect philly pride.

[@JonBecker81]

I’ve been thinking about getting tremor leaf springs for my ranger. Do they use different shackles? Also that guy needs to get the ford performance tune especially with 33’s and that exhaust. It makes a big difference.

[@nathanglennon]

They use the same shackles, although I opted for BDS shackles. I have the Ford performance tune, uninstalled because I didn't want to run premium fuel and I drive a lot of highway. But honestly, Im not super impressed with the FP tune and will likely go aftermarket later on

[@JarmelSingsKaraoke]

👏👏👏 ALEX ........ ... HAVE A BEAUTIFUL MONDAY EVERYONE ✌️

[@TFLtruck]

Thank you! You as well!

[@carculturenation2166]

exhaust usually does not void warranty. If exhaust void warranty then every mustang and hellcat and camaro owner would be screwed. now tune they know even if you put it back to stock or modified drivetrain that voids warranty

[@us1fedvet]

The operative term is “usually”. Tread with care.

[@shitloveaduck]

They have to prove the modification caused whatever warranty repair was needed. It’s really much simpler than most think. If you do the exhaust and an alternator fails, you are not going to be on the hook. Just doing anything doesn’t void the full warranty. Common sense applies.

[@us1fedvet]

@@shitloveaduck but if there’s a drive ability issue that sets codes and wasn’t present before the modification, the issue will then defer to the owner. Yes, common sense applies.

[@shitloveaduck]

@@us1fedvet -there’s a million what ifs. If you read what I said, your comment goes without saying actually. The opposite to if the dealer cannot prove the modification caused the issue would be that the modification did a cause the issue, then no warranty would help.

[@us1fedvet]

@@shitloveaduck ditto. You and I are tracking. I’m just an old guy and creature of habit.

[@jamesm568]

[@Muffin192213]

Can you just replace the muffler and leave the stock pipes alone?

[@ghilliemanreviews]

Rangers are awesome! The new one getting the 2.7 and the Raptor getting the 3.0 will really hit competitors. Toyota only offering the 4cylinder and Chevy the same. Ford is doing well.

[@RustyShackleford42095]

Send it to the ranch!

[@michaelharris8228]

Nice looking truck, front bumper looks spendy! How much??

[@henryf.ky.3415]

Nice truck and it did sound great with new system. Rangers are the best midsize trucks.

[@mrvwbug4423]

Sounds good for a 4 cylinder exhaust with the resonator removed, usually removing the resonator gives you the ricer fart can sound.

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Pop an exhaust system on 2.7 EB and the 3.0 EB.

[@joeybishop7604]

No !

[@timeToPlotMyFeet]

I had the muffler cut out on my 2019 and left the resonator, a 10th of the price and sounds pretty close if not better IMO 😂 Great video though! Glad to see the ranger community growing!

[@ALMX5DP]

Since the Ford has a 3-port headifold instead of a manifold, probably curtails any possibility of getting decently good sound out of it.

[@matthewseanchapman6310]

[@joesciandro8478]

👍👍🔥yes send it. 💙

[@aerynlovell4754]

I recently bought a 2016 GMC Canyon with a manual transmission. It sounded like a vacuum cleaner. I couldn't hear the motor to know when to shift and ended up over revving the engine. I decided to put on a Cherrybomb Vortex after a lot of research for a deep "truck" sound. It now sounds like an aggressive 6-cylinder, and gained 3 MPG. It used to accelerate slowly in first gear, but now is faster and I even "chirped" the tires a couple of times. There is a little bit of drone but I don't mind because I can clearly hear the engine, even when listening to music, which is what I wanted. I was looking for a computer programmer and found Hypertech PowerStay for select GM and Ford vehicles. INSTANTLY & SAFELY DISABLE YOUR VEHICLE'S AUTO START-STOP AND/OR V4 MODE.

[@barrettnichols4987]

How did you over-rev it? I thought modern cars didn’t let you do that. Is there no tachometer??

[@aerynlovell4754]

@@barrettnichols4987 In "my opinion" I was over revving it because the motor sounded strained. When I first start driving a manual I use a combination of looking at the Tach and listening to how hard the motor is working. When you figure out the "sweet spot" in the rev range (like 2,000 or 2,800 rpm) you know when to shift that vehicle. Eventually you stop looking at the Tach and can shift based on the sound the motor is making. However, when driving in the city you have to watch the other cars to make sure they don't do anything unpredictable and by the time you can hear the quiet motor it is screaming for you to change gears.

[@bryaninnc5511]

Just have the kid down my street throw a fart can on it and call it a day.

[@deejayimm]

What's the point of leaving it possible to disconnect the exhaust "for the warranty"? You cut off the stock exhaust, so it's going to be pretty obvious to them it's been modified. Not to mention the fact that you put it out on a pretty big KZbin channel..

[@dmegahan]

Go Birds.

[@kissmaass]

Yah man…

[@mikek5298]

If I owned a 4 cylinder anything I would add MORE mufflers so I would not have to hear the annoying sound.

[@WW-wf8tu]

That's my feeling as well. At least it does not sound like the whiney civic low rider crap. lol

[@andrew_xj8411]

I agree. I actually own a 21 Ranger. Love the truck. I was very upset to hear they are coming out with the v6 soon. Wish I had one, but oh well. I wish I could do an exhaust, but like you said it’s a 4 banger. No point, just won’t sound good
