    Catted H-Pipe - Only BBK?

    I have never installed exhaust components before, so must ask how you overcame these issues. Did you adjust the trans cross member in some way, or did you simply alter the pipes to fit underneath? How is the fit now, too low, or did you manage to get it like stock? Yours is a 4-cat system, yes?

    Catted H-Pipe - Only BBK?

    Oh yes forgot about the mandrel bending, still 3-6 is 6-12 over an offroad. Something to consider, but my car is only ported E7s, mild cam, GT40 intake. Not going to upgrade beyond that until the motor goes, or very far in the future. We do on our roadways, they are called Emissions...

    Catted H-Pipe - Only BBK?

    Another side question. How much power loss do you think there'd be running an aftermarket high flow 4-cat X-Pipe (i.e. Magnaflow 37338, 93332 <--- yes that exhaust has been redesigned with 4 cats), versus a 2-cat aftermarket X-Pipe? Several HP or negligible? I'm pretty much down to deciding...

    16 inch tire sizes

    I fully know the OP is talking about his pony rims. However, you brought up speedo calibration into this topic, so I wanted to remind, the car was originally calibrated to a 225/60/15 size, 91-93 pony stock size is irrelevant there. 225/60/15 = 25.63" 245/45/16 = 24.68" Or 15/16" smaller which...

    16 inch tire sizes

    Sorry, I think I've misinterpreted the look you were going after. Thought you wanted wider, but similar dimensions for fender clearance. My 245/45 recommendation is based on being 'bigger' from a front-back, back-front under the car kinda view. It's a wider tire of course, with nearly the...

    16 inch tire sizes

    I understand the sectional width will remain the same as that's affected by rim width and/or tire width. However, visually yes going down 5% on the sidewall ratio will change the look. On my daily driver I run 185/60 A/S in the warm months, and 185/65 winters through winter (more choices in...

    16 inch tire sizes

    Totally agree with this, 245/50/16 looked 'ballooned' on the back of mine. If you want rotation ability, I'd go with 245/45/16 all around, but less choice in brands then 245/50/16. Also, what tire you are thinking of is a factor for width, tire companies cut their tires differently. A...

    Is 304 higher or lower quality steel then 409?

    Catted H-Pipe - Only BBK?

    Ok +1 for Bassani I'm considering their 50933 in stainless.

    Catted H-Pipe - Only BBK?

    Ordering exhaust soon, going all stainless from headers back. Looking at H-Pipe to consider options between that and X. I can only find BBK with Cats and they are aluminized steel at that. Anyone know if other companies are still making Hs for the Foxbody in stainless (links please)? Seems...

    really bad feul mileage?

    No jrichker explained it above. What to expect: You should get a code 11 (two single flashes in succession). This says that the computer's internal workings are OK, and that the wiring to put the computer into diagnostic mode is good. No code 11 and you have some wiring problems. This is...

    Is the FC switching the fans on/off properly?

    really bad feul mileage?

    Reverse that... Imperial Gallon (UK) = 4.546 Litres (Space taken by 10lbs of water, so yes technically a metric calculation) US Liquid Gallon = 3.785 Litres I take it you are doing your calculations based on a gallon being 4.5L then? Something is definitely wrong with your car or your...

    5 lug swap into 92 Fox

    Yes you can, but the pedal will still be hard as it is a smaller unit than the 93 Cobra & 94-95 V6/GT/Cobra. Check for vacuum leaks, that can also affect the booster negatively.

    5 lug swap into 92 Fox

    Listen to Mike about the MC bore, I mixed my response up. The 93 Cobra (which I am using) has 1" bore. and will give a slightly harder pedal than the 94/95 Cobra. My apologies...

    5 lug swap into 92 Fox

    For some reason the engineers used a metric bore 21mm IIRC on the 84?-93 V8 MCs. Keep in mind our cars having drum rears the bore size comparison is quite different when calculating using a similar bore size on 4-wheel disc. I bought a Raybestos MC390125, think it was only $70 couple years ago.

    5 lug swap into 92 Fox

    Booster is shot perhaps? 95 V6 MC has a 1-1/16" bore = 572mm bore area 98 Cobra twin pistion 38mm Calipers = 38^2 *.785 = 1134mm per piston x 4 = 4536mm 98 Rear 38mm Calipers = 1134 x 2 calipers = 2268mm Add the two and you get 6804mm total piston area divide the MC's bore = 11.9:1...

    really bad feul mileage?

    And quite possibly calculations errors, or checking not filled-up tanks a few times.

    really bad feul mileage?

    Lol I'm Canadian, and went 'huh?' to that. Red-Fox do you mean your MPG calculations are based on a 3.78L U.S. gallon? I religiously keep track of fuel econ in all our cars. Everything emission/tune-up related is 10K or newer on my car (fresh full engine gasket job too), all smog stuff intact...
