Fitting a DPF-back or turbo-back exhaust to your Next-Gen Ford Ranger (2022–2025)? Avoid costly fault codes, limp mode, and check engine lights with this plug & play exhaust pressure corrector module.

Modern Rangers use a DPF backpressure sensor to monitor exhaust flow. When you install a larger exhaust, the sensor readings drop below factory thresholds—triggering fault codes, limp mode, and performance issues. This module corrects the sensor signal electronically, telling the ECU the correct value even with a free-flowing exhaust system installed.

✅ No tuning required
✅ No wiring or splicing
✅ Installs in minutes
✅ Prevents DPF sensor faults without affecting ECU or emissions

This is the easiest way to enjoy the benefits of an aftermarket exhaust—better flow, improved turbo spool, and stronger sound—without ECU errors or limp mode.

⚠️ For off-road and competition use only. Not legal for on-road use where emissions compliance is required.

DISCLAIMER : 
This product is intended to be fitted to unregistered vehicles for off-road use on private property only. The DPF is an emission control device. As such, any person who removes, disconnects or impairs the operation of it on a road-registered vehicle may be guilty of an offence under Australian law. DPF removal will render your vehicle unroadworthy. By fitting this module, you agree the vehicle is not registered in Australia and will not be used on any Australian road. Any risk associated with vehicle modification is your responsibility. We accept no liability for vehicle damage, voided warranties, vehicle repair expenses or legal expenses caused by the use of this module.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why do I need this module after installing an aftermarket exhaust?
A: The factory backpressure sensor expects higher pressure readings. A free-flowing exhaust reduces pressure, triggering a fault. This module corrects the sensor signal so the ECU sees normal readings.

Q: Will it trigger check engine lights or limp mode?
A: No. It prevents DPF backpressure-related fault codes.

Q: Do I need to tune my ECU?
A: No tuning or remap is required.

Q: Can I uninstall it later?
A: Yes. It’s fully reversible—just unplug the module and reconnect the factory sensor.

MANDREL BENT EXHAUST

Ignite Exhausts is the in-house 4x4 exhaust brand from Playtime Auto Parts, Sunbury VIC (formerly sold as Playtime Ignite).

Ignite Exhausts consists of mandrel bent piping to determine optimum performance, flow and sound out of your exhaust system. Mandrel bending involves a mandrel placed in the tube during bending which maintains the shape and diameter of the tube. It reduces the risks of restricted exhaust gases often found in cheaper bending methods like press bending.

Mandrel Bend

AUSTRALIAN DESIGNED AND MADE

With over 50 years combined experience the Playtime team have spent countless hours on the design and testing of our 3 inch mandrel bent 4x4 exhaust systems. Proudly Australian made here in Sunbury, Victoria, we strive to offer an affordable product direct to the public.

WHICH OPTION DO I NEED?

We pride ourselves in offering an extensive number of exhaust options to suit every buyer.

High flow catalytic converter – Required for legal road use, designed to have less restriction compared to stock catalytic converters, high flow design has very little restriction on the exhaust.

No catalytic converter – For off-road use only, no restriction in the exhaust (complete straight through exhaust).

Pipe only – No mufflers (straight pipe) our loud option.

Resonator – Moderate sound option, the design of our stainless steel resonator helps reduce drone whilst still providing an aggressive exhaust note.

Muffler – Our quietest option, perfect for towing. The straight through design of our stainless steel mufflers insure no restriction to the exhaust whilst keeping the note minimal.

Diff pipe – No mufflers (straight pipe) our loudest option finishing before the vehicles differential.

ALUMINISED MILD STEEL

Aluminised mild steel commonly used in exhaust systems for its strength and heat resistance is a great option for when choosing your exhaust. It can withstand exposure to corrosive elements without rusting easily thanks to its aluminium coating.

It’s a cost effective option compared to other similar materials making it a popular choice in various industries. If you’re looking for a heat resistant, durable, cost effective exhaust an aluminised mild steel exhaust is your option.

409 GRADE STAINLESS STEEL

The premium when it comes to an exhaust system is a 409 grade stainless steel exhaust. Unlike other materials such as 304 stainless steel that is very susceptible to cracking, 409 grade is a very heat resistant and more versatile metal making it a great choice when looking for exhaust performance.

Other materials like 304 stainless steel stress under the constant heat transfer in an exhaust which most commonly results in the exhaust cracking. 304 stainless steel is a great option for show cars where you are after that great polished look but on everyday road use the failure rate is high.

For a durable, corrosion and heat resistant exhaust it’s no mystery why a 409 stainless steel is used on most factory produced vehicles making it the best option when it comes to a 4x4 exhaust.

409 GRADE STAINLESS STEEL

LASER CUT FLANGES & HANGERS

IGNITE Exhausts have spared no time when it comes to the custom flanges & hangers used on their exhaust systems giving it the upper edge when it comes to the strength of the exhaust.

Our competitors most often use the typical steel-rod hanger bracket creating a vast weak spot over the bracket, which in some instances can cause a crack or failure in the exhaust.

The precise cut of our hangers ensure that the bracket fits perfectly and securely. This accuracy helps maintain the structural integrity of the exhaust system.

BOLT ON INSTALLATION

IGNITE Exhausts are designed and tested to follow the same layout as the factory exhaust. A priority of ours is to ensure the ease of bolting on our exhaust systems which utilise the factory rubber mounts.

Detailed fitting instructions available at the click of a button as well as a full fitting kit supplied makes the job a breeze. Nuts, bolts, clamps, gaskets etc all supplied in fitting kit.

Note: When fitting allow time to check over the exhaust making sure everything is aligned and then tighten all bolts and nuts from the front to back of the vehicle. If you have any fitting/alignment issues, please call us as soon as possible to avoid damaging the exhaust system.
