Exclamation Some help for 2006 Ford Ranger FX4

I have a FX4 Ranger and I'm honestly getting tired of it being stock.... I want to put some kind of muffler or exhaust on it(even though its a 6 cyl)..any advise(brand size price)? I also want some new tires.. a little bigger than stock..Also I was thinking about putting a small body lift on it if at all possible... maybe some other mods later... I use the truck for work and for getting around in the woods for hunting and fishing.. I run it hard and want it to sound good when I get on it Help me out!

Ask your local muffler shop for a good brand of flowmasters. put on the body lift and then but 31" tires under it. do a light bar and maybe a small front grille guard. that would be a good start.

cherry bombs are the way to go. they dont sound that great on a v6, but at least they sound kooler than stock. or you can take out ur mufflers and bend the exhasut out the side, make a street rod.

never tried cherry bombs. my dad and brother has flowmasters on their gas engines and i've always gone with no muffler and a gutted out cat.

how does cherry bombs compare to flowmasters? sound and performance wise

cherry bombs are really load and a bit anoying at higher rpms and flows are more mellow depending on what ones you get

i would go for the 2.5 and if tis to big then get an adapter. least you wont be restricting it by goin to small...
