Question 1

How to Service the Exhaust Pipe for Different Engine Types on Ford Mustang?

Accepted Answer

The 4.0L engine includes one intermediate pipe yet both 4.6L and 5.4L engines require two intermediate pipes that need identical service steps per side when applicable. First step is to put the vehicle into neutral mode then place it on a hoist. Favorably loosen the exhaust coupler before removing the intermediate pipe from the catalytic converter assembly by throwing away the exhaust coupler. After disconnecting the intermediate pipe from the muffler you should free the muffler clamp before extraction of the intermediate pipe from the vehicle. The installation process starts by affixing the new intermediate pipe and you should replace the exhaust clamp when you connect it to the muffler. Secure the new exhaust clamp at 48 Nm (35 lb-ft) torque setting and place its lower edge just above the bottom of the notches. Push the muffler forward to check if the pipe rests completely inside the coupler while ensuring proper insertion of the intermediate pipe with its knurled section situated at the coupler lip. Position the new exhaust coupler onto the intermediate pipe then extend it towards the catalytic converter before sliding it until the converter button embeds in the intermediate pipe notch. The exhaust coupler nuts require tightening to 48 Nm (35 lb-ft) and this torque must be applied gradually by increments of 10 Nm (89 lb-in).

Question 2

How to Service and Repair the Exhaust Pipe for 3.0L and 4.0L Engines on Ford Ranger?

Accepted Answer

The service and repair of 3.0L and 4.0L exhaust Y-pipes starts with putting the vehicle into neutral position before placing it on a hoist for service. Disconnect the electrical wiring from both heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) and catalyst monitor sensor. The service requires right-hand side exhaust Y-pipe removal of bolts together with flagnuts and gasket from assembly-to-muffler and tailpipe connections while discarding these components. The service begins with removing the transmission mount and isolator-to-transmission bolt and left-hand exhaust Y-pipe-to-right-hand side of exhaust Y-pipe nuts which are then disposed of. Leaning the right-hand side of the exhaust Y-pipe on a suitable jack you should loosen but not remove its right-hand side exhaust Y-pipe-to-exhaust manifold nuts. Install a suitable support tool to the left-hand side of the exhaust Y-pipe and remove the left-hand side exhaust Y-pipe-to-exhaust manifold nuts which need discarding. Move on to eliminate both left-hand side exhaust Y-pipe components and left-hand side exhaust Y-pipe-to-right-hand side of the exhaust Y-pipe gasket before throwing away the gasket. Ahead of tossing away the nuts from the Y-pipe exhaust section you must first discard both the right-hand exhaust Y-pipe-to-exhaust manifold nuts and the right-hand exhaust Y-pipe component. The installation process should exclude using oil or grease-based lubricants on the isolators since they will cause rubber damage. Place the right-hand side of the exhaust Y-pipe into the vehicle while installing new right-hand side of the exhaust Y-pipe-to-exhaust manifold nuts loosely on all surfaces. Position first the left-hand side of exhaust Y-pipe into the vehicle before loosely installing new left-hand side of exhaust Y-pipe-to-exhaust manifold nuts. Begin installation with the new left-hand side of exhaust Y-pipe and right-hand side of exhaust Y-pipe nuts which are to be installed loosely. Perform next the mounting and torquing of transmission mount and isolator-to-transmission bolt to 90 Nm (66 lb-ft). Secure the right-hand side of the exhaust Y-pipe-to-muffler and tailpipe assembly gasket while placing the right-hand side of the exhaust Y-pipe-to-muffler and tailpipe assembly bolts along with new flagnuts. Proceed with this operation by beginning with exhaust Y-pipe assembly-to-exhaust manifold nut tightening to 40 Nm (30 lb-ft) followed by left-hand side of exhaust Y-pipe-to-right-hand side of exhaust Y-pipe nut tightening to 40 Nm (30 lb-ft) and concluding with right-hand side of exhaust Y-pipe-to-muffler and tailpipe assembly bolt tightening to 40 Nm (30 lb-ft). Connect the HO2S and catalyst monitor sensors electrical connectors while checking that exhaust system isolators have zero load. Perform exhaust system alignment if isolators remain at a non-zero load.
