    MAC H-PIPE - no hangers???

    JRICHKER - I actually have a tremec on the car, so your saying that the brackets would have to be cut anyways? LANGWILLIAMS - that sounds like a good idea. Does the h-pipe hang low without the hangers? ALSO - I don't have the air tube that goes between the two pipes. what can I use...

    MAC H-PIPE - no hangers???

    I just picked up a used MAC h-pipe. it's used, but in good shape HOWEVER the hangers are cut off. I thought I read somewhere that this was done on purpose (if the pipe hangs too low). Should I get new hangers welded on? any help would be appreciated.

    2 1/4" catback vs 2 1/2" any difference?

    I've got the headers, nitrous (125hp shot), pulleys,maf,cai,drag radials,..... but I dont' think I'd have anything to gain, i might even lose some bottom end torque- but who knows - I've read the cat-back shootout articles, and the borla 2-1/4" exhaust outperformed several of the 2-1/2"s- in...

    2 1/4" catback vs 2 1/2" any difference?

    Yeah, i think your right. I just found a good article online where they took and 89 mustang and added bolt on and then dyno tested. They only saw 6.7 rwhp when they unbolted the stock cat-back and bolted on a Flowmaster 2-1/2" system. Since I don't have money to burn, I'll be sticking with...

    2 1/4" catback vs 2 1/2" any difference?

    I have MAC 1 5/8 unequal length shorty's. I just purchased a mac hi-flow h-pipe with cats (emissions), I already have a 2 1/4" full catback system on the car and just wanted to know if there would be any use in going with 2 1/2" I run NOS, but only on the track, other than that I have a...

    2 1/4" catback vs 2 1/2" any difference?

    I can't see there being a huge difference until you get into some pretty high horsepower numbers, at that point the 2.25" will be limiting.

    2 1/4" catback vs 2 1/2" any difference?

    I have a dynomax super turbo cat-back system on my car right now. From what I know there are 3 hp gains to be made by going from stock to a 2 1/2" cat-back 1. aftermarket pipes are mandrel bent vs ford 'crush' bends 2. aftermarket mufflers flow better that ford factory 3. 2 1/2" piping...

    Ford Racing Hood Pin Kit Installation

    the ford kit is stainless, and the wire is already covered with vinyl, so it won't scratch the paint. I was able to open the hole on one end and feed the wire through itself. I'll fasten it around the hood pin bolt itself between the washer an body of the car. thanks guys. p.s. can I...

    WTF-Belt Stretched after 2 weeks?????

    I had the same problem. I have no a/c, and no smog pump, and even a 69" belt stretched and bottomed out my tensioner within a couple weeks. You have to go with a belt .5" shorter. Its a tight fit. I could only get it on one way, first use a piece of wood to hold the tensioner all the way up...

    Powermaster 1 wire setup - not charging?

    check the voltage output at the alternator with the car revving about 1500rpm. It should read around 14.5V. If you have underdiveve pulleys that will cause a voltage drop at idle. I installed an OVERDRIVE pulley on the alternator to help it spin faster at idle. I have a 140 powermaster...

    Ford H.D. Clutch or King Cobra kit?

    I spent the extra cash and went with the king cobra and I'm very happy with it. I'm running aroun 400HP and its great. I have used the centre force clutch, not the dual friction, the next step down. I prefer the kc clutch. I have heard good things about the centre force dual friction...
