Description
Cat-back exhaust systems: the aFe Vulcan Series 2.5in to 3in cat-back exhaust for the 2024+ Ford Ranger L4-2.3L (t) provides maximum strength and durability for reliable long-term operation.
- 2-1/2 IN - 3 IN mandrel-bent 304 stainless steel tubing — mandrel bending preserves consistent inner diameter through bends to maintain exhaust flow and reduce backpressure, supporting exhaust gas evacuation and component longevity.
- 304 stainless steel construction — corrosion-resistant material offers durable service life in varied environments, reducing the need for premature replacement compared with lesser alloys.
- 304 stainless steel black clamp-on exhaust tips — clamp-on fitment enables controlled installation without welds; the black finish provides a durable, OEM-integrated appearance while allowing tip replacement or orientation adjustment.
- Laser-etched aFe POWER logo — permanent marking ensures traceable branding and confirms system provenance.
This cat-back layout retains factory-style attachment points while upgrading the tubing profile to a stepped 2.5" to 3" flow path, designed to balance exhaust velocity and cross-sectional area for effective gas evacuation on turbocharged applications.
Installed as the downstream section of the exhaust system, the aFe Vulcan Series cat-back is intended to work with the vehicle's existing manifolds and turbo hardware without altering upstream components.
Technical notes:
- Material: 304 stainless steel tubing and tips
- Tubing diameter: 2-1/2 IN to 3 IN (mandrel-bent)
- Tip style: Black clamp-on, laser-etched aFe POWER logo
