110% will not fit.

v6 has a totally different exhaust setup then a v8.



you should just a H pipe that is a direct fit for a v6. or just weld in a high flow cat.

Could he get it modified to fit his intake manifolds? Like have the pipe cut and rewelded?

The 4.0L is a 60* motor and the 4.6L is a 90*, I think it'd be more of a pain than it's worth to get it to work. It'd probably be easier to mod the stock V6 Y-pipe into an H-pipe.

I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to be attaching them to the Intake manifold either boys lmao
