    Wideband and A/F bung location on X-pipe

    I was talking to a local speed/dyno shop near where I live about dyno runs w/ air/fuel ratio, they told me that the only way to get an accurate air/fuel reading was to install a threaded bung for a sensor before the cats. So, with that in mind...say I were to get a Magnaflow Catted...

    gears and snow bad mix??

    Trust me, get a set of Blizzaks or Ice Guards for your rims, or get a set of dedicated winter snow tires with rims. It makes all the difference in teh world. Even with all-seasons, they don't hold a candle to snow tires. I had a set of (4) 245-45-17 Blizzaks on my '98, and I drove through snow...

    Alignment question...

    The pigtails should be placed on the spring perch with the pigtail closest to the REAR of the car with the ends of the springs pointing in the same direction (I believe to the passenger side).

    Alignment question...

    So...I lowered my car a month ago and let it settle for three weeks. I went to get it aligned and the shop manager suggested I get a 4-wheel alignment. I told him I only needed a 2 wheel alignment since the rear is a fixed solid axle. He said I still should get a 4-wheel alignment, if I didn't...

    Instead of buying a new one, what about cutting the stock one?

    LCA's or TB w/ elbow?

    I am debating whether to get a set of Maximum Motorsports LCA's, or get a FRPP 70mm or 75mm throttle body and intake elbow. The TB and elbow will be topped off with a JLT RAI. I'm being pulled towards the MM LCA's, but I think I need to get the engine breathing better (being a mile high...

    How-to install steering rack bushings?

    How would I go about installing a set of steering rack bushings? I got under the car a week ago to install springs, struts, etc... and tried to change out the steering rack bushings. I removed the bolts, but the rack wouldn't move. My brother made a good point that the steering shaft from the...

    H pipe

    The Magnaflows are not a chambered muffler like the Flowmasters are, they are a straight-thru muffler. I did get MIL Eliminators. The install was pretty easy, except trying to get the h-part to mate up with the "legs" that come off the exhaust manifolds, I think I have a leak right there. I...

    H pipe

    I just put the Mac o/r h-pipe on my '02 2 nights ago. Keep in mind, I have (regular) Magnaflow cat-back. It is loud, very loud. I thought that it would be quieter being that I have the Magnaflows, but I was wrong. It is too loud for my taste. I am taking it off tonight and going back to the...

    HELP!!! MAC o/r H-pipe sounds like crap...

    They are the Regular Magnaflows, not the Magnapacks. I don't know what to do. I'm going to make sure that I have no leaks and I may try using MAC's passenger-side gasket w/ the Ford gasket for the connection b/t the exhaust manifold and h-pipe. Other than that, I don't know what else it could be.

    HELP!!! MAC o/r H-pipe sounds like crap...

    Last night I installed my MAC off-road H-pipe w/ MIL Eliminators. When I took the car out last night, the car sounded like crap (IMHO). I have a MAGNAFLOW cat-back BTW. It sounds good down low, but once I hit about 2500RPMs thru the rest of the RPM's, it sounds like a freaking machine gun going...

    Do I need new studs for my MAC H-pipe?

    That answered all of my questions...THANKS! I went to NAPA asking for that stud kit and they said they didn't have one. So that info really helped me out. Hopefully I won't need it though.

    Do I need new studs for my MAC H-pipe?

    I am installing my new O/R MAC H-pipe tonight and I am getting all the material I need so I don't have to run out for parts in the middle of the install. 1)I heard that I should buy new header studs that go from the header flange to the h-pipe flange. Do I buy stock replacements or something...

    Magnaflow cat-back w/ VRS X-pipe...does it sound raspy?

    Well, it turns out I decided on the MAC off-road H-pipe. I just ordered this morning w/ MIL Eliminators. I got the 3-piece modular design with the durablack coating. I hope this thing fits and is of good quality. I guess we will see. I should get it Mon. or Tues. so I will install it that night...

    Should I get Mechanical or Electric gauges?

    I used a mechanical water temp gauge and a mechanical vacuum/boost gauge in my old v6. I used the mechanical water temp gauge because it was a full sweep gauge (im not a fan of the short sweep gauges) plus the accuracy. I also loved the fact that there were no wiring or dependent upon senders...

    Magnaflow cat-back w/ VRS X-pipe...does it sound raspy?

    I really want to get the stainless VRS off-road X-pipe to go with my Magnaflow cat-back. I have heard somewhere that the x-pipe w/ magnaflows tend to sound raspy, is this true? I want a deep tone with out much raspyness. Would I be better off going with a MAC h-pipe over the VRS X-pipe, or would...
