Hey fellas, new here, just bought a 88 5.0 LX 'vert. It's completely stock and I have a few concerns. Basically, I want to do a few simple things to it and am wondering how it will respond being as it doesn't have a MAF.
I'd like to replace the cats with a x-pipe(probably a bassani) and throw on a set of SLP loudmouths. Also want to put in a cold air intake. That's it, don't want to butcher it. Not doing an intake, cams, headers, crank, etc. Nada. Just want it to breath better.
What I'd like to know is if these small mods would throw anything off. I'm concerned that the stock cats and filter choke things up so much, such a high flowing exhaust would cause some issues.
It's in immaculate shape, mechanically and cosmetically. I'd like to keep it that way.
