    MAC Catted Pro Chamber

    Ive gots Magnaflow cats on my Pro-Chamber and it sounds fine. At first it was a little quieter than the PC without cats, but after about a week it got loud again (No, there are no leaks) My car was never very loud at idle, but when you get on it the Pro Chamber is about as loud as anything Ive...

    2004 GT gears

    Do you travel the high way at speeds over 120 mph often? If not you should get at least 3:73's. I have 4:10's in my car and was able to drive from CA to NY without any problems. Fuel economy was fine too: I got 24-25 mpg cross country. I believe 80mph is around 2800 RPMs with the 4:10's. Also...

    Evilest souding exhaust?

    I gotta go with 2 chamber flows and an off-road h-pipe. I think the Pro-chamber mid pipe (which I have) is also a good choice for an evil sounding exhaust. Although, it may make things just a little too quiet at idle.

    Spongy Clutch

    my clutch goes through this every once in a while. Sometimes it will have a great, solid feel to it, and then without warning will feel spongy and like its sliping. It will do this for a while and then feel great again. :shrug:

    Mac Hpipe is LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!

    I put Hi Flow cats on my MAC Pro Chamber with 2 chamber Flows and that quieted the car down a bit internally. Car still sounds good on the outside, and when you get on it it still rocks like nobodies business.

    K&N FIPK Intake

    When I went from a K&N drop in filter to the complete FIPK II kit I noticed a little bit of a gain on the top end (4000-6000 rpm) It wasnt just in my mind either because I ended up putting the stock air system back on for some warranty work and definitely noticed the lack of up top breathing. On...

    2002 GT, How much oil with filter change??

    If Ford says 5-20 than 5-20 should be ok. I switched my 2003 GT to Mobil1 0-30 a while back because most of the people on this forum said that the only reason Ford switched to 5-20 was to help with fuel economy, and that 5-30 would offer slightly better protection. Im using 0-30 because it is...

    Starting in 2nd gear?

    When my Grandpa drove my car (long story) he started in 3rd by accident several times. I was surprised, the car didnt even bog or do anything weired. Of course I was pissed that he kept doing it. By the way, I have 4:10's incase you dont read sigs.

    rough idle on stock car

    My 03 idled rough for a few months and then smoothed out. Not sure what fixed it, could have been the weather I guess. Or, the car just had some learning to do. Dealer also told me it was normal. Car runs fine, so I guess it wasnt a big deal.

    Dont ever do buisness with amp in az

    Maybe AMP had a legitimate reason not to do something for this guy, and that pissed the guy off. It pissed him off that they maybe didnt want to refund some money to him, or exchange a part, or do some work for him at a price they may have quoted over the phone only to learn the job was more...

    Dont ever do buisness with amp in az

    I had dealt with AMP several times when I lived in AZ and had nothing but good experiences with them. The work they did was solid and reasonably priced. This doesnt sound like a complete story to me. Ive seen the father guy and he has never done anything like that when Ive been around. This...

    97gt can't spin tires?

    I think it depends a lot on the road you are trying to do it on. On most roads I cant really spin em unless I dump at like 2000 rpm, then it'll spin all day long. There was road near my old apartment that I could be rolling like 30mph in first and stomp on it and break em loose, but that was...

    Cats or no Cats

    No cats is illegal in every state technically speaking. It is a federal offense to remove or tamper with the emission system. That said, you probably wont get caught in a state that doesnt have any kind of visual inspection. However, in some states the police/state troopers will use a mirror to...

    VT Cams installed... my opinions

    Cams are usually a trade off kind of thing. You pick up some power on the top end, but you lose power on the bottom. Generally speaking, adding duration tends to soften-up bottom end response, but add top end kick. Seems to me that this is how it has always been (Worked this way with my small...

    Car died today for the first time.. The cause is pretty embarrassing.

    Same thing happened to me when I had pulleys installed (Mechaninc forgot to plug in the electric fan.) Car boiled over in the parking lot of a local Tony Romas.Needless to say, that mechanic never saw my car again. Was the car ok after it boiled over. I have always wondered if that did any...

    Blower installation..

    I was thinking that a KB Blower should take 8 hours at the most (intercooled) and around 4-5 hours for the non-intercooled kit, maybe less time than that. Shouldnt the non-intercooled kit pretty much be the same as a manifold swap, plus installing the boost-a-pump and whatever other little...

    Exhaust ? for new GT

    My vote goes to 2 Chamber Flows/Mac Pro-Chamber mid-pipe. Of course Im somewhat biased, but it seems pretty widley acknowledged that this is a great sounding combo. I recently added two Magnaflow cats to my Pro-Chamber and was pleasently surprised by the results. The car is a lot easier to live...

    New goodyear tires are on *PIC*

    What are you going to do about the cams (in your sig) when it comes time to smog the car? There is no way you will pass in Cali. unless those grinds are really mild. Im just curious to know because I would like to get cams for my stang, but dont want to have to swap cams everytime I need to get...
