More stuff to come


Well its been a while since my last post not much has been done really, but a minor update. I ordered some new gauge overlays for my car which they look great and do what I wanted them to do. Also I will be looking at getting the exhaust work done to my car this weekend. Looks like i'll be going with a flowmaster 40 muffler with 2.25 piping from the header to the back. Also ordering some new head light kits since my current ones are retaining about 1/4 to 1/2 an inch of water at the bottom. Piss poor for night driving yay. Soon as I get both of these done i'll put up some pics and get a new video of my car. Once exhaust is on I will be going and getting the car dyno'd so expect to see some hards numbers soon folks.

strongly recommend changing the headlights dude.
When i changed mine I got a great! increase in lighting
compared to before. Driving on the highway
i wouldnt really notice the light all that much other the
when reflecting off of signs. In the city didnt look like
i had any headlights from in the car.

Now if you seen what i have in my pictures.
I can see great at night on the highway or
in the city

No, no cat. Cat hasn't been on that car since they removed emissions testing in Florida. Gonna be straight pipes to the flowmaster 40. Piping will be 2.25 all the way.

Go there select your region. You can find what is required for emissions testing for you. I used to have to take the car and they'd hook some computer equipment up and run the car to see if it would pass or not, but I haven't had to do that for years now. So yay less stuffs to rob me of my power rawr.

well i dunno how things are down in the states. How often
they hold a inspection on your vehicle to see if it passes a saftey
or if it still meats emission requirments.

BUT if its like here in Manitoba Canada, Get your saftey done.
then do it. with the EGR blocked off I highly doubt anyone will
know that you did it. and come after you. You dont hear a change of
tone in the exhaust at all.

If you want it done id just go a head and do it

Well i guess you could be right, it might work, but the 6AL just seems to suite the Fords better
