Manta Performance Exhaust System for Ford Ranger PX2/PX3 3.2L Diesel CRD
The Manta Performance Exhaust System is engineered specifically for the Ford Ranger PX2 and PX3 3.2L Diesel CRD models (2016–2022), delivering a significant upgrade in exhaust flow, turbo response, and overall driving character. Built for enthusiasts and demanding users, this system replaces the restrictive factory exhaust, unlocking the true potential of the Ranger's five-cylinder diesel engine.
How the Manta Exhaust System Improves Your Ranger
This performance exhaust system is designed to optimise exhaust gas flow, reduce backpressure, and enhance turbocharger efficiency. By maintaining a consistent 3-inch mandrel-bent path and utilising a straight-through muffler design, the Manta system allows your engine to breathe more freely. The result is improved throttle response, quicker turbo spool, and lower exhaust gas temperatures, especially under load or during spirited driving.
Application Scenarios: Who Should Choose This Exhaust Upgrade?
The Manta Performance Exhaust System is ideal for Ranger owners who:
- Tow heavy loads and require improved engine efficiency and cooler running temperatures
- Regularly drive off-road and need a robust, vibration-resistant exhaust
- Seek a deeper, more purposeful exhaust note without excessive cabin drone
- Plan further performance upgrades such as ECU tuning and want a supporting exhaust system
- Value a direct-fit solution that retains factory mounting points for straightforward installation
This upgrade is especially suited for dual cab models equipped with the factory DPF system, but also supports more aggressive configurations for off-road or motorsport builds.
