This leads to restricted exhaust flow, increased upstream backpressure, sluggish throttle response, and recurring P0420\/P0430 diagnostic trouble codes. Furthermore, factory weld seams and light-gauge pipe joints often suffer from road salt corrosion, creating exhaust leaks before the rear oxygen sensors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered as a direct bolt-on assembly, this unit features a heavy-gauge 409 stainless steel shell engineered to withstand thermal cycling and road debris impact. The internal high-flow monolithic ceramic honeycomb substrate is loaded with an optimized precious-metal washcoat to ensure efficient hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide conversion without choking engine output. Precision-machined flanges match the OEM exhaust routing exactly, allowing a straightforward installation with the supplied hardware and gaskets without requiring custom pipe cutting or welding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e2004-2006 Ford Ranger (Rear Placement)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e3.0L Vulcan V6 \/ 4.0L Cologne SOHC V6 \/ PN105 Chassis\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStock Output\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e148-207 hp \/ 180-238 lb-ft (Approx)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eBER302745 (OE\/Interchange: 052431-2, 52431)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2004 Ford Ranger 3.0L V6 \/ 4.0L V6 (Rear Placement)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2005 Ford Ranger 3.0L V6 \/ 4.0L V6 (Rear Placement)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2006 Ford Ranger 3.0L V6 \/ 4.0L V6 (Rear Placement)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Ford Truck Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned to maintain powertrain reliability under demanding utility, hauling, and towing duty cycles, preventing flow chokes and ensuring dependable exhaust gas velocity across all RPM bands.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50484872446200,"sku":"DS-EQIQBLGFO","price":149.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/catalytic-converter-for-ford-ranger-2004-2006-3-0l-4-0l-1.jpg?v=1789107586","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/es\/products\/catalytic-converter-for-ford-ranger-2004-2006-3-0l-4-0l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
