Manta Performance Twin Side Tipped Exit Exhaust for Ford Ranger Next Gen T6.2 V6 3.0L (2022+)

What the Manta DPF-Back Twin Side Exit Exhaust Delivers

The Manta Performance DPF-back exhaust system is engineered specifically for the Ford Ranger Next Gen T6.2 V6 3.0L (2022+). This system replaces the factory exhaust from the diesel particulate filter (DPF) rearwards, offering a distinctive twin black side-exit appearance and a more engaging exhaust note. Designed for owners who want to enhance their Ranger’s sound, style, and driving experience without interfering with emissions equipment, this upgrade is ideal for both daily use and demanding off-road conditions.

Why Choose This Twin Side Exit Exhaust for Your Ford Ranger?

Factory exhausts on modern diesel utes are often restrictive, prioritising compliance and quiet operation over driver engagement. The Manta DPF-back system addresses these limitations by allowing freer exhaust flow after the DPF, resulting in a deeper, more pronounced note and a unique side-exit look. The twin side-exit design also helps maximise ground clearance, making it a practical choice for off-roaders and those who regularly encounter rough terrain.

This system is best suited for Ford Ranger Next Gen T6.2 V6 3.0L owners seeking:

• A more assertive, refined exhaust sound that stands out from stock
• Visual distinction with twin black side-exit tips
• Improved ground clearance for off-road and touring builds
• A robust, corrosion-resistant solution for harsh environments
• Emissions compliance by retaining the factory DPF
