Mustangfan99 · September 26th, 2006, 04:21 PM

hey guys, i am in a fix. Just when i thought that a newer V-6 mustang was the answer, i stumbled across the 1982 mustang gt. I dont know why but i really like the car. does any body know how this thing is stock, (exaust, sound, speed, ect... Thanks

Thanks. that gave me a better idea on the exaust. That was one of my main questions. If anybody knows about the two pipes that dump into a single muffler please let me know. Thank again.

Bill · September 26th, 2006, 04:56 PM

well you could ditch the Y pipe and get an H pipe but you need to get a Double Hump tranny cross member for the H pipe to work/fit.

and you can have Dual Exhaust

Mustangfan99 · September 26th, 2006, 05:06 PM

could i ditch the single muffler, buy two seperate mufflers and put them in?

Bill · September 26th, 2006, 05:40 PM

you mean keep the Y pipe and put on 2 mufflers on to it.

anythings pretty much possible. you can take it shop and have that done.

Mustangfan99 · September 26th, 2006, 05:41 PM

would that give it a better sound?

MSO · September 26th, 2006, 07:21 PM

might as well jus go wit the h-pipe..

Mustangfan99 · September 26th, 2006, 08:17 PM

yeha i guess your right, that would be the best idea

KJeezy · September 26th, 2006, 09:19 PM

Or you could get a little more from it and have an xpipe put in, with highflow cats.

Mustangfan99 · September 26th, 2006, 09:32 PM

maby, but i really want sound more than power. I figure that would still sound good but i dont think I'll be going to the track a whole lot, maby an x, but for now i would like mac long headers shorty h pipe and mac cat backs. that thing would scream. for speed i would put in an 3.75 gear ratio, and a cold air intake. thats probably what i would start with. also depending on the cash i have.

MSO · September 26th, 2006, 10:28 PM

intakes dont rly add all that much, reducing some weight will prolly get u the same times but with consistency

88BlueGT · September 27th, 2006, 09:58 AM

I would highly recommend not going with MAC LongTube headers. To start, they are the BIGGEST PITA to install and the quality of them are horrible. I baught a pair of them and wanted to shoot myself. The coated completly burnt off in about 600 miles and they literally look like they are 10 years old already. I took them off. Also, with a stock car you dont want to run long tubes because it will kill your low end... go with a nice set of BBK shorty headers... you will be happy. Also, the gear ration you are talking about would be 3.73's.... And for the CAI, I would pass on that. There are other things to spend your money on. Just remove your air silencer and replace your filter with a nice K&N. Spend your money on a 65mm TB and a bigger MAF. Just my .02. Also, if you dont want to get more power out of your car because of gas or driveability issues you can always work on the suspension.

Mustangfan99 · September 27th, 2006, 03:06 PM

where can i get a TB, and how much will it cost me

82 GT = No maf

and his car would be carb'ed

Jojogunne · September 28th, 2006, 06:51 PM

I have an 84 GT and it is a little harder to find parts for the 79 -86 but not impossible. My 84 had a wopping 175 hp from the factory. Brakes, exhaust and suspension all suck. But with lots of money it makes a nice four eyed freak.

jjg

Mustangfan99 · September 28th, 2006, 06:54 PM

yea, the 82 is kinda hard to find parts for also. I am thinking of an 86 5.0 gt. It seems like their are just a hell of a lot more parts for it.

Bill · September 29th, 2006, 12:20 AM

i had an 86 GT and i LOVED it. those are my Favoite year for the Foxes.

4 eyed
first year for EFI
8.8 inch Rear(7.5 inch for the previous years)
Factory Dual exhaust ( NO Y pipe with 1 muffler and two outlets)

Mustangfan99 · September 29th, 2006, 06:34 PM

yeha i like the way the 86 looks, it also has a nice stock engine. Plus i can find mods easy.

Mustangfan99 · September 29th, 2006, 10:46 PM

I also like it cuz of the factory dual exaust.
