3' Stainless Steel DPF Delete Exhaust Upgrade for 2016+ Ford Ranger Ute
Problems with the Ford Ranger Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) are well documented. The factory system traps harmful particulates in a honeycomb structure and burns them off periodically. However, leftover soot can cause permanent blockage and system failure over time.
Common signs of DPF issues include reduced engine performance, increased fuel consumption, and more frequent regeneration cycles.
Upgrade your Ranger by removing the restrictive DPF and replacing it with a full stainless steel PPD Performance system.
Specifically designed for the Ford Ranger PX2 & PX3 3.2L Turbo Diesel (October 2016 onwards), this 3' stainless setup delivers performance and sound the factory setup can’t match.
DPF DELETE SPECIFICATIONS:
- 304-grade, 1.5mm thick polished stainless steel piping
- Stainless steel flanges and 2-bolt connector
- Straight-through design for maximum flow
- Dual hanger mounts for added durability
- TIG welded and mandrel bent
- Gaskets and bolts included
This proven bolt-on design offers significant sound and power gains for the PX2/PX3 Ford Ranger 3.2L.
Note: An ECU remap is recommended after DPF removal to ensure optimal performance.
Disclaimer: DPF removal is intended for off-road use only. Please consider legal requirements before purchasing and installing.

Pre-Order Information
Items where the “Add to Cart” button is replaced with “Pre-Order” are classified as pre-order items. When placing a pre-order, a warning box will appear outlining the terms and conditions, including the estimated delivery timeframe.
Please keep the following in mind:
Stock is not on hand – we have no control over delivery times until the stock arrives.
Patience is required – pre-ordering secures your item, but fulfilment depends on supplier availability.
High-demand items – pre-orders are the best way to lock in popular products, which often sell out before they even land.
Allow a buffer – please add 2–3 weeks to the provided ETA to account for any unforeseen delays beyond our control.
Pre-ordering ensures you don’t miss out on in-demand products, and we’ll keep you updated as soon as your order is ready to ship.
