Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible With 1991 Ford Explorer, N/A; 1992 Ford Explorer, N/A; and 1991-1992 Mazda Navajo, N/A. For 1991-1992 Mazda Navajo applications, if the system is a welded assembly, replace all required parts. Verify inlet offset, center outlet routing, and overall length before installation to confirm alignment with the existing exhaust path.
