Y-pipe is on!!!

[Toadster]

yahoo!!!

got it installed today for (gulp) $90 - kinda pricey but it's on for good.... after it warmed up, i can definitely feel the difference, just did a computer reset and hopfully will go out tonight for a "spirited" drive...

I did leave everything "stock" from the cat-back and it sounds REALLY good, but I know I need to uncork that resonator

happy hunting!!!

 

[Toadster]

well the computer definitely knows it's there today - wow! I'm dissapointed that I didn't listen to you guys earlier, this in combo with the KKM are awesome power adders for < $350 in parts!!!!

i highly recommend the y-pipe!!!

Congrats on the new pipe! I may have to break down and get me one of these someday. Did you get the legal or off-road version? Would be a tough decision for me.

On a lighter note, not nearly as cool, something that doesn't add a single drop of power, but I just finished installing my lighted power moonroof switch. I needed to share this tidbit with someone, and since my first home is temporarily unavailable, my second home on the internet will have to become my first, so I will post it here for all to congratulate me. You may begin. J/K

Installation was easy, just putting everything back together that sucks. Found out that mr. D79 connector is a tad on the short side and had to have a weave put on , a slight extension to reach the drivers side to connect to the double pronged hookup for the dome lights. Kind of a biatch to slide that cover back into place too. I am definately thinking twice about Hightower's one-touch open harness now. Do I really want to take that thing down again?

 

[Toadster]

cool mod! I'd love to do that stuff but me and electric circuits just don't mix

i got the "legal" Y-pipe with the high-flow cat (I live in CA so gotta be emissions compliant) - the sound is awesome, my wife is a bit "hedgy" on the sound - it has a little more drone than stock, but I wonder what replacing the resonator will do next!?!

Yeah i was working on the one touch thing. took it apart and realized i didn't have the dam relay. DUH. Whats with the lighted window thingamabob??

 

[SilverSVT]

I'm sure you have noticed that the moonroof switch isn't lighted, all you have to do is order a new rear power window switch from Bill Jenkins and a wire to connect power to the light in the new switch and it will light up.

Anothre one of the famous CEG mods, it is in the how-to section,

on a contour whats a some nice mufflers that have a deeper sound i was thinking flowmaster!what do you all think

 

[Ryan]

I'm not sure about specific mufflers, but I love my Bassani!!!!

 

[94pustang]

my friend wants something deeper i have flowmaster on my 94 gt

 

[Ryan]

Bassani!! Bassani!!! Its a nice deep growl. I think people have posted the sound clips on CEG.

In following Silver's non-performance mod, I too just completed one. I had the rear bumper repainted, including the black plastic part around the pipes. Looks AWSOME, I'll try to post some pics later. It makes the rear end look lower to the ground that before.

Alot of people swap out their res with magnaflows and like the results. What ever they use, it should be a high flow straight through design which flowmaster isn't.

Get the Brullen 'loud' catback from www.performancefords.com Excellent sound!

Holy old thread!!

The Borla is pretty mellow and sounds awesome.

The Bassani was too loud and UPS Truck sounding for my taste.

Brullen sounds amazing. Too many horror stories of fitment issues though.

-R-

 

[Ryan]

Bassani is too loud for some, but put in the resonators and it quiets its down

 

[Jason43]

I can say that the Borla sounds great with no pre or main cats. Pretty much no rasp at all.

That is exactly what I am running, it sounds incredible.

You think $90 for a y-pipe is pricey?? Try $380 for the SHO!!
