    How does flowmaster sound with X-pipe ??????

    I have a stg 2 TF cam and want to retain sound from the lope but want larger diameter piping so should I stick with the h-pipe style or go with an x-pipe? right now it is cut off right after the mufflers (borla's) and it sounds pretty good but I bought a 3" MAC cat back system to mate up because...

    Installed 99 PI motor with cams and headers

    The engine is going to run rich because the computer is freaking out from all of the extra air (from the cams) coming in so it's just dumping fuel in. You need to get the ECU flashed/tuned for your new mods. You will also notice a big increase in power as well. Ans as what was said before it...

    Can the lower manifold be milled?

    Really because I was told before that there isn't any RTV gasket required and I was still a little hesitant. Should have gone with my instincts. It appears to be a ford product. He got it off of eBay (parts supplier) but it came in the Factory ford box that you would get from the dealer...

    GT engine in a 99 Cobra

    You would need to swap out computer's obviously, mounts should be int eh same spot and the big issue is the decrease in power. :) I personally wouldn't do it. You can have the engine rebuilt or just find one on eBay with low mileage.

    Emmissions failing. WHY?!?!?!

    To reset the computer you only have to disconnect the battery for 1 minute or so not 30 minutes. Atleast every car (including my mustang) that I have attepted this on worked. Or you can get a dignostic and just clear the codes that way but thats only if you have access to one or the money to...

    95 gt want more power

    The sn95's have a ghost idle problem meaning they surge trying to find an idle. It will rev up then die down almost to a stall then rev back up and repeat. What do you mean by mostly stock? What would be your limit as far as mods. I love my car. It pulls damn hard and runs twelves but...

    How does flowmaster sound with X-pipe ??????

    I had an x-pipe on my '96 paired with flowmasters and it didn't rumble much but it sounded amazing and I got compliments a lot. I am thinking of going with and off road x-pipe on my current mustang but I want to retain the lope from my bigger cam (mods in sig). Would an x-pipe paired with...

    Hi guys, I am the one doing the work on Eddie's car. I am positive I can do the work but I was a little unfamiliar with the PI intake manifold swap only thats why i had him check to make sure. I have only owned one '96 GT and sold it a month later cause it was slow for my tastes so I have not...

I haven't received it yet since I just ordered saturday but I should have it sometime this week and I will let you know how it...

    this has got to be the dumbest question ever

    Like HISSIN50 said Sounds like the bump stops on the radiator support are unscrewed too far out. Just spin them a couple turns clockwise (I think it's clockwise but just spin it the way that the bump stop is going down) and then give it a shot should make a big different. Hope that helps...

    Electrical Woe's Need Help!

    yup forgot to mention the lighter isn't working either. There isn't any change or really any debris as far as see. I could tell but I didn't really look the car over very well last night because I was really tired. I am hoping it was just a big coincidence that both bulbs had the filiments...

    Electrical Woe's Need Help!

    Thanks for the input! I will try disconnecting the terminal and reconnecting to see if that cures the "short". I was going to test the wires in the back to see if they are even getting power. The main thing that is really puzzling me is the l.e.d. on the wing is spliced into the main...
