24-26 Ford Ranger Raptor V6-3.0L aFe 49-33152-B Vulcan Series 3 IN 304 Stainless Steel Cat-Back Exhaust System w/ Polished Tip

24‑26 Ford Ranger Raptor V6‑3.0L – aFe 49‑33152‑B Vulcan Series 3 IN 304 Stainless Steel Cat‑Back Exhaust System w/ Polished Tip

This high‑performance cat‑back exhaust system from aFe's Vulcan Series is engineered for drivers who demand both impressive sound and quantifiable gains. Designed specifically for the 2024–2026 Ford Ranger Raptor equipped with the 3.0 L V6, this system replaces the stock rear piping with mandrel‑bent 3‑inch tubing in corrosion‑resistant 304 stainless steel. The acoustically tuned expansion chamber delivers an aggressive yet refined exhaust note, while dual polished tips add a visual statement. Backed by precision engineering, direct‑bolt fitment, and race‑level construction, this exhaust upgrades both performance and style. 

Why this product is compelling: it offers real dyno‑verified horsepower and torque gains, strong materials and construction, an exhaust tone worthy of a performance truck, and near-direct fitment—with no major modifications required.

Install Difficulty Level

Moderate (but surprisingly easy). This exhaust is designed for direct bolt-on installation using factory flange and hanger locations—no cutting or major modifications are typically required. In many documented installations, the exhaust can be swapped in 1.5 to 2 hours in a well-equipped garage setting. The use of factory hangers and flanges helps simplify alignment, and the polished tips are the final visual touch. A torque wrench and basic tools are all that’s needed; if any alignment fine-tuning is required, the clamp‑on design allows slight adjustments before final tightening.

Vehicle Fitment

This exhaust system fits 2024 to 2026 Ford Ranger Raptor models equipped with the V6 3.0 L twin‑turbo (EcoBoost) engine. It is engineered specifically for this vehicle and engine combination to ensure precise flow, fitment, and performance gains.

CARB / Emissions Compliance

According to manufacturer documentation, this product does not require a CARB EO# (California Air Resources Board Executive Order) and is not CARB‑approved. It is intended for off-road or racing use in states that restrict non‑CARB exhaust systems. Use of this exhaust in jurisdictions requiring emissions certification may be subject to local laws or inspections.
