Performance Benefits

The mandrel bent design reduces exhaust back pressure compared to the restrictive factory system. You'll experience improved throttle response, better power delivery throughout the rev range, and enhanced fuel efficiency. The Ranger PXII's 3.2L P5AT 5-cylinder turbo diesel engine particularly benefits from the improved exhaust flow, with noticeable gains when towing, loaded, or climbing.

3 Inch vs 3.5 Inch - Which Size is Right?

3 Inch: Balanced performance and efficiency. Ideal for daily driving, highway touring, and light towing. Deep, refined exhaust note.

3.5 Inch: Greater airflow and reduced back pressure. Better for moderate towing and performance builds. Deeper, more aggressive note with headroom for future modifications.

Why Choose 3.5" Over 3" Exhaust?

The larger 3.5" diameter provides even greater exhaust flow compared to a 3" system, resulting in:

• Maximum reduction in exhaust back pressure for optimal performance
• Enhanced power delivery, especially beneficial for heavily loaded or towing applications
• Improved exhaust gas temperatures (EGT) for better engine longevity
• Deeper, more aggressive exhaust note while remaining refined
• Ideal for vehicles with performance tunes or those planning future modifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the outback exhaust improve performance on my Ranger PXII?

Yes, the mandrel bent design reduces exhaust back pressure, resulting in improved throttle response, better power delivery, and enhanced fuel efficiency. Most customers report noticeable improvements in drivability, especially when towing, loaded, or climbing hills. The 3.2L P5AT 5-cylinder engine responds particularly well to improved exhaust flow.

What's included in the 5-year warranty?

The Outback Exhausts 5-year warranty covers manufacturing defects, material failure, and weld integrity under normal use. It does not cover damage from accidents, improper installation, modifications, or extreme abuse.

Do I need to tune my vehicle after installing the Outback exhaust?

No tune is required. The outback exhausts works perfectly with the factory ECU calibration and will provide noticeable improvements on its own. However, many customers choose to add a tune later to maximize the performance benefits of improved exhaust flow, especially for towing and heavy-duty use.

How long does shipping take?

Most orders ship within 1-2 business days. Delivery times vary by location: metro areas typically receive orders within 3-5 business days, while regional areas may take 5-7 business days.

Can I install the outback exhausts myself?

Yes, the Outback exhaust is a bolt-on system designed for DIY installation. You'll need basic hand tools, jack stands or a hoist, and 2-3 hours. However, professional installation is recommended if you're not confident working under your vehicle.

What's the difference between DPF-back and turbo-back?

A DPF-back system (like this one) replaces the exhaust from the DPF outlet to the rear, retaining the factory DPF and front pipe. A turbo-back system replaces everything from the turbo outlet, including the DPF. 

Will the Outback Exhausts fit other Ranger models like PX, PXIII, or Next Gen?

No, the outback exhaust system is specifically designed for the Ford Ranger PXII (October 2016 - 2018) with the 3.2L P5AT engine. It will not fit PX (2011-2016), PXIII (2019-2022), or Next Gen (2022+) models, which have different exhaust configurations. Please contact us if you need an exhaust for a different Ranger model - we have specific systems for all Ranger generations.

Will the outback exhaust rust?

Our 409 stainless steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance for Australian conditions. While 409 stainless may develop some surface discoloration over time (especially in coastal or high-humidity areas), it will not rust through like mild steel exhausts.
