You're probably right, he probably doesn't even know what a wheel bearing is... but why list hubcap removal as a mod??

Because he's the rice(er), man! What other reason to you need?

notice how it says '1994 Ford Mustang GT 2-door coupe" below the pix, any mustang freaks out there who can confirm this? v6 or v8? honestly though, i was impress with its launch, even though he squealed all the way through 1st and probably 2nd, that car launched pretty quick out of all the cars i've raced, except for an mk3 supra

Rice(er) i dont think you understand, the v6 mustang and the gt mustang have the exact same body. so if there were no gt badges on it like you said, then it would be a v6, unless it had cobra badges, which i doubt. there are gt badges on the back and both sides. the dual exhaust thing isnt always a good way to tell cause that is probably the most comon mod for v6 guys.

Does anyone know what type of car Rice(er) drives?

I am fairly confident that the car was a V6, but are you sure that the GT had badges on the back in 94/95? I don't recall seeing one on my friends 95 GT rear, I know they are on the sides though for sure.

sorry guys, my roommate is being a b^!ch and he's hogging the net, we have wireless, but he took it down because it slows the speed, so he direct-cable-connect to the modem which is un-cool for me and the other guy, anyways, to josh, i meant hubcaps for now....untill summer when i get rims, ill take pixs and hook it up in here

i didn't look at the sides, plus it was a night time so i didn't bother, but im sure it had dual exhausts.....again, all i saw was the ford emblem

offtopic: just got back from the muffler shop, custom 2 1/2" piping, i kinda feel ripped off because of the price and how i lost some low end torque, i mean...i could fell it, its just not the same low end torque anymore *sigh* (car sounds decent if you're wondering) aite, pesh out

[-Jayson-]

ive never heard a 4 banger with an exhaust that sounded good. Except for a the stock one. And your exhaust is way to big, just a big old waste of money and HP. You lost HP and you lost money. No way in hell a NA 1.8L 4 cylinder engine needs that big of an exhaust, i wouldnt even go that big on my 2.4L Supercharged engine.

A big exhaust will give in increase in higher RPM HP, but you lose alot of low end torque. Torque is what makes a car fast, not HP. HP is derived from TQ. Congratulations youve made your car slower

[CassiesMan]

Why the hell do you need 2.5inch on a motor that small and weak? That would be like me going up to a three inch or something...you do know that some backpressure is good?

[rice(er)]

^all i wanted the shop to do was weld on my universal exhaust, but the shop said because the inlet diameter of the new exhaust is bigger than my stock exhaust, the job will quote, "not right" he wants to do things the right way which is upgrading the pipes from the the cat converter all the way through, now that i look at the receipt, it says 2 1/4" piping, but the new exhaust inlet is about 2.4" so i dont know how big it truly is, i'll measure it later. But i did want to keep the stock piping because the low-end torque was great, i mean...i make maximum torque at 2800 rpms, i knew i would lose it when i upgrade the pipes, i guess i can live with it if i ever decide on turboing, and trust me when i say it sounds decent on my 1.8 4 banger, the megan exhaust helps i guess..... i'll try to get a vid

20 bucks says it sounds like a BeeHive. . .

also modern day 4 clyinder engines do not use back pressure to make power, they dont need back pressure at all. They work off velocity. With a small pipe while the engine is idleing the cars exhaust has a constant stream of velocity. Meaning the exhaust gases have filled the exhaust system, and are moving at a constant rate out. When you get an exhaust system that is to big, what happens is the air moves in burps. It doesnt fill the exhaust pipe all the way, so the exhaust gas gets pushed into the pipe, then it doesnt have enough pressure to get out of the pipe, so it sits there, then another wave of exhaust gas comes and pushes it a littler further and so forth untill its completly out.

The problem is so many people try to apply the fluid dynamics of a V8 to a 4 banger. With a v8 you have the extra cylinders that allow for you to put a large exhaust pipe on it and not lose low end power. They fire so quickly and so much more exhuast that they dont have a problem keeping the exhaust gases moving. Not to mention they are already very torquey.

Even 2.25 inch exhaust is still way to big. On your engine i wouldnt have gone any higher than a 2 inch exhuast. Even with that you would lose some low end torque, but not a whole lot, it would be made up for with a good mid-high range torque increase.

i beg to differ jayson, i've heard plenty of good sounding exhuast for 4 bangers. maybe from your neck of the woods you don't heard nice exhuast from the STi sounds awesome, my car sounds decent, and the EVO's sounds really good along with SRT-4's and the list goes on.

plus i would like to know more about the whole fluid dynamic doesn't work with modern 4 cylinder engine stuff. i always thought the reason why you don't gain power on modern 4 cylinders with an exhuast is because of the engine management unit that is not tuned for optimum power but more for smog and fuel economy so when the computer sees change in any perameters the ecu will resist the change and run more conservative timing etc. thats why modern needs a chip or reflash if you were to do bolt ons to get maximum gains.

your probably right i dont remember seeing it on the back either.

i still think its a v6 to, but i could see how it could be a 95 5.0 or something if it did truly spin all the way through second. i dont see a 94-95 v6 being able to do that.

[TatII]

plus thsoe GT's stock aren't very impressive. i mean they run low 15's. not exactly neck shattering aceleration.

[-The Stig-]

The 94-98 Mustangs I believe had Mustang GT in the rear bumper and just had the GT 4.6L badge on the sides.

Oh, and SR20's sound awesome under boost.
