Internal honeycomb structures fracture, melt, or suffer heavy carbon fouling, converting the original rear converter into a severe exhaust restriction. This restriction spikes exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs), suffocates top-end engine breathing, and causes sluggish throttle response during load demands or hauling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt to factory exhaust geometry, this direct-fit unit features a heavy-gauge stainless steel outer shell engineered for high corrosion resistance and thermal containment. Internally, a dense, high-flow ceramic monolith coated with active precious metal washcoats ensures rapid light-off and reliable chemical conversion of HC, CO, and NOx without restricting scavenging flow. Precision OE-matched inlet and outlet connection flanges mount seamlessly to existing factory exhaust hardware, bypassing the need for cutting, torching, or custom pipe bending.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px; min-width: 300px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e1989-1994 Ford Ranger\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFord Cologne 2.9L \/ 4.0L OHV V6 \/ VN58\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStock Output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e140-160 hp \/ 170-225 lb-ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eReplaces OEM Part #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e23154\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1989-1992 Ford Ranger 2.9L V6 (Rear Position)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1990-1994 Ford Ranger 4.0L V6 (Rear Position)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNote: Fits 2.9L and 4.0L V6 rear exhaust only; does not fit 2.3L inline-4 or 3.0L Vulcan V6 models.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the VN58 Ranger?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 1989-1994 Ford Ranger equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003eCologne V6\u003c\/strong\u003e engine in the rear exhaust position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs this unit legal for use in all states?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a 46-state EPA-compliant converter and cannot be legally sold, shipped, or installed in California, New York, Colorado, or Maine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Ford Truck Durability Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered for working pickups subjected to continuous bed loads and steep grade pulling, this converter assembly withstands high thermal expansion stresses to maintain peak exhaust velocity and dependable emissions compliance under rigorous operating conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67537894572280,"sku":"DS-EQYII43BT","price":219.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/catalytic-converter-for-ford-ranger-1989-1994-2-9l-4-0l-rear-1.jpg?v=1790619482","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/fr\/products\/catalytic-converter-for-ford-ranger-1989-1994-2-9l-4-0l-rear","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
