Re: cheap mods

ok my car has 3.73 gears we have checked that already and besides according to the chiltons book the 8.8 rear end was not limited slip which it is and it is stamped in big numbers 8.8 on my rear axle. and i have not had good luck in the past with k&n filters i personally dont like them but thats ur opinion and i respect that but i dont like them. and the 4.6L has o2 sensors after the cats to meter how they are workin and if u cut them out it will trip a code and light so have to have them i guess. I thought bout high flow ones anybody ever used them? and is it a pain to run true duals under the 94 LX or is it easier to run the smaller pipes offf the cats into a larger pipe like 3.5" the run it to the rear of the car and split back into the smaller 2.5" pipe then into mufflers and out the rear. what series of flowmaster sounds good but not to loud the one of the city cops is a major dickhead bout thatthanks in advance for your opinions

Re: cheap mods

On a 94 you can run duals all the way back but the pipes have to almost touch each other till you get back past the gas tank, then they can angle off to each side. You'd be oke going to a 3" center and then Y off to 2.5" on the sides.

The pre-94 models w/ SC or V8 had a trac-lok from the factory. The 94+ had traction control and an open differential for the automatic cars. Only the 5-speed SC got the trac-lok in the newer style cars. If you have 3.73's then maybe someone put in a trac-lok unit from an older bird. Brake torque it and see if you leave dual stripes or one.

I know my trac-lok works good.



And K&N filters are proven to work great if you don't oil the shit out of them and get it all over your MAF sensors wire.

Oh yeah, get high flow cats, and 2 40 series flowmasters and it'll sound sweet.

Re: cheap mods

whoa Scott that ride is very slick, very smooth. Alot of people hate on the 4.6's but there not a bad car, i've found many many mods for that platform and i'm not complaining. Ya if i could i'd have my 4.6 & a SC cause who doesn't love a supercharged car? But i guarantee if i put a supercharger in this bad boy... bye bye haters.
