gas savers

[newstanger]

ok...so ive got a 2000 stang v6 3.8...im lookin to get better gas mileage cause i dont like losin my money...so far im lookin at gettin a cold air intake and a new muffler...i dont kno enuf about cars to kno what else i should get. if it adds power thats cool, but thats not what im lookin for. what should i get...preferably as cheap as possible.

[AltecZX2]

foam or K&N air filter, intake full exhaust, pully set, and dependinf how that v6' likes to run a custom chip(i know most cars run a little rich from the factory)

mufflers wont do much

My Escort with a 2.0L Zetec is rated at 33mpg HW, I have intake, removed the lower resonator, cut a bigger opening in the airbox, but in a K&N filter, and a Ford Racing computer, and FR plug wires(not sure if it helped gas but it idles better).

I went from 105WHP 34MPG HW average
to 117whp 42MPG HW average
then I added a pully and now at 44MPG and 120whp.

wow....what?...sorry man...dont kno much bout cars...and im 16 so im a bit short in the money department...what r some easy mods that i could do...kinda like cold air intake?

[newstanger]

ive seen that lil tornado thing for ur intake....whats the deal w/ that...does it work?

[neatofrito1618]

undrive pullies is the pully he is talking about. and without switching to dual exhasut there isent any gas saving with a new muffler

[newstanger]

yea i kno the muffler wouldnt do nething...i was just sayin the mods i was lookin at doin...what does the pully do? how much would that cost and all?...would u suggest a cold air intake?

[neatofrito1618]

installing pullies isent technical. just take off the hermonic balancer and put on new pullies. do you have a link to the tornado thing?

go on ebay and get one there about $50. and a pully is just a smaller pully that makes your engine work less(giving you better gas milage) and it also gives you better performance. for exterior mods you can get a bullit grille and gas cap and dual exhasut
