So as some of you well know i got a 91 GT and i wanted a loud exhaust on it and all well i finally took the friggin time to look under it and noticed that it has a exhaust which i believe is no cats h pipe turbo mufflers with dumps just after the axle so it sounds ok not real loud lol but it also has a after market air filter but i was curious about like how much power it might have since it has these mods i was hoping like idk 250 or so but anyway my big question is do they make some sort of performace chip for it ? anyway hope u all laughed i had to call and cancel my appointment at the muffler shop lol ..

250 would be a big stretch for just having an aftermarket air filter and exhaust you would be luckey to have 215@ the wheels depending on how fresh the motor is

[ujslost]

Agreed.

I would say 180 to the wheels if its all original with some miles on it

my car minus the headers and MAF dynoed 191hp and 266ftlbs. BUT i am at about 5500 feet so the air/fuel ratio is WAY off and it needs a tune due to that but stock they are supposed to make 200hp 300ftlbs and yes they do make chips for these cars that you can tune

[learnerstang]

hmm know of any really good performace chips i mean like best bang for you buck

[93hatch]

dude that was my EXACT exhaust till yesterday

[learnerstang]

haha really did u like it ? or is that y u changed it cuz u hated it ?

[sqrlnts]

lernerstang,
I think people are trying to say, you could spend money on a "chip" but your money is probably better spent elsewhere at this point since your mostly a stock config right now.

Are you an automatic or manual?

[learnerstang]

oh well alright then ya ummm its a automatic , all that i know if mods are the exhaust and what seems to be like a stock air intake tube with a big A filter on it that isn't stock ... other then that its stock ...

[haywood11]

if your willing to spend 400+ on a chip look on ebay and look for an explorer upper and lower intake. or if your on a budget look for a cold air intake on there also. im pretty new to this also so just my advice.

get a high stall tourque converter and a shit kit and gears if you gont have them already

[learnerstang]

if i get gears will it hurt mpg ?

Get setup so that your 5th gear ratio is 1:1, and use it... although I guess you're automatic... so...

But I can get 25 mpg around down if I take it easy and use 5th

[learnerstang]

hmm ok well i talked to my dad and he was like no gears no so i guess i cant do that but i was wondering how much all the explorer top end normally runs like at a junk yard or something like that ? do u all know ? and ya auto kinda like it cuz but kinda hate it at the same time ....

get a set of 4.10's your gas mileage will be fine. that iis going to be the best bang for the buck.. dont get a chip. 400.00 you could get a set of headers an h pipe and a nice set of magnaflows.

or get a set of lakewood 90/10 for the front and a set of lakewood 50/50's for the rear work on keeping the power on the ground..
