1992 Bronco Exhaust

Glenn,

From the converter, the exhaust should be 2-1/4in", back to, and out of the muffler. The tailpipe was 2-1/4" out of the muffler, but enlarged to 2-1/2" for the last 20-24 inches behind the right (passenger side) wheel well. Lot's of people stick a cheap exhaust on a vehicle to sell it, some don't know any better, some don't care. Smaller than stock won't allow the truck to breathe. The stock exhaust was adequate, but not optimal.

Thats what I expected. The truck has an odd miss, and seems to have a decreased amount of power. The miss occures after the engine is warm, and is a little difficult to start when it is heated up. When I looked at the exhaust, it is brand new but 1.5" tops I know damn well that the 5.8 needs to breath more than that.

If I am to replace the exhaust, I would rather replace it with something that would allow the truck to breath at it's best. Would I benefit from Dual exhaust, or is that simply a waste of money?

What would be the suggestion? 3"

Thanks Glenn

I installed exhaust for years. The best results I saw were from bigger singles. Find a shop that can bend 3" pipe and go with that. The Bronco doesn't do much better with duals, plus you'll get fumes in the rear window from duals.

Good luck man,

Just thought of one more thing. If after you replace the exhaust, you still experience a lack of power, it's possible you have a plugged catalytic converter. Hope not, but that's something to keep in the back of your mind. Later,
