    Not a typical exhaust question

    well they are not all the same thing exactly. slp loudmouth is just a resoator for example. the LMII I think has some sound deading material in it. packs don't sound exactly the same either. the mistake you are making IMO unless you just like a rediculously loud car is once you go to an...

    mach1/cobra motor swap into a GT......

    I would just buy a forged shortblock. vt, MMR, foxlake, mph, etc. then run you head of choice, then you blower or turbo's of choice. the older cobra motors/mach 1 platform are not bullitt proof in boosted format. the mach 1 has high compression and should be held to about 6psi or so...

    Bent my Exhaust Dont Let People Ride In Your Back Seat!

    I hate it when someone posts in these old threads I always get sucked in thinking it is new.

    Has anyone tried these?

    there are some threads over at MD on them. they seemed to work well on boosted stuff but that is kind of a given as you usually need ignition upgrades at a certain level of boost. I think they claimed around 8hp on a stock car. even if that is exactly true (which may or may not be true) it...

    Bent my Exhaust Dont Let People Ride In Your Back Seat!

    what springs do you have? I don't have an issue with people in the back. vrs x-pipe, borla catback, supersports, and bilsteins. then again i ahve never had two grown men back there. but one guy or two chicks has never given me any issues. I have always just figured no more tha 250lbs in...

    I need help big time

    you have to remeber some shops may just not want to do it that bad so they are going to screw you basically. maybe this guy does not like to change springs with the head on so find someone who will. shop rate should be in the $70 an hour range and it should not take more than 8hrs or so to do...

    I would bet there is a 99% chance it is IAC related.

    Guys w/ 18"x10" Rims

    the rolling of the fenders will only be required if you wanted it to be. if you run the normal wheel offset like mine there will be no rubbing. I could run a 295 if I wanted with ease. I went 285 because I wanted to run a bit more sidewall with the 40 series. now if you want the tire to be...

    Guys w/ 18"x10" Rims

    I have 285/40-18's on 18x10. they are bfg kdw-2's they have enough lip protection. I wanted to fill the fender gap a bit. have you found anyone who makes a 295-45 series? that is a 28.5 inch tire. that is getting big but I think it would fit in the rear. no way you can fit anything that...

    Changing a rearend, how hard?

    you just take the bolt off at the housing end and drop the spring out. you can leave the other end bolted. as for the housings being different this is easy to verify just measure the control are locations and the overall width. width can be correced by wheel spacers or different offset...

    Saleen Series IV Supercharger

    the kit is stock trim put down 320rwhp for $4000 that is my definition of sucking. now it may be able to make more than that but with their tune as shipped that is what it made in the couple of write up I saw on it. price just seemed high for what you got.

    Saleen Series IV Supercharger

    kb 1.7L is $4850 or so I think. I think the saleen series IV is a 1.6L but I can't rember if it is a whiple? I think it is $4200 or somthing like that. I don't think saleen series IV in stock trim will get you near 375hp. I have seen people in the low 300's without modding the kit. I know...

    Abs tone Ring replacment

    I did it with a chunk of aluminum pipe and a hammer but a press would have been easier. I just don't have a press so I had to improvise. to get it off I just craddled the ring with a bearing splitter then put that on a couple blocks of wood and dove it off with a hammer. you just need to...

    gt tranny

    I would call tremec. I though they all had internal stops. could be worng though. it does not say anthing about stop on either the t-45 or the 3650 on their webpage so I would call them just to be 100% positive. I know the stock shifter did not have stop so they have to have something in...

    Changing a rearend, how hard?

    well it is pretty simple. after the wheels are off 1. upper and lower control arm bolts (sway will have to come off) 2. lower shock bolts 3. abs sensors 4. quad shocks 5. calipers and brakets 6. drive shaft once all that is unbolted the rear drops out. now if you want to take his...

    Clunk sound coming from under dash?

    yeah then it could very well be u-joints. very easy to test though.

    positive camber under cornering?

    I don't think it is the mcpherson strut system (although these cars are not really a mcpherson strut) that is you problem. It is the crappy spring rates, crappy springs, poor rear axel location that really limit these cars. you fix those problems and you will be all smiles compared to stock.
