Just got the 97 GT here recently, and I want to keep it FULLY as reliable as it was from the factory, as funds will be short in a few months and I won't have the extra money to waste on the car. But I do want exhaust. I've got a few questions for you:
Thanks guys!
- Stock exhaust pipes are Stainless Steel, correct?
- What size are they (I'm thinking 2.5", right?)
- I have OBD2, which means there is an o2 Sensor in front and behind the catalytic convertor. I want to leave both the cat and the o2 sensors (Sine Ford's are "high flow" anyways). Will adding Mufflers tamper with the performance of these two (including the check engine light)?
- If the stock exhaust is Stainless Steel, I'd like to just cut out the stock mufflers and install aftermarket mufflers. Would you recommend this?
- Will mufflers affect performance, at all (for better or worse)?
- Will new, aftermarket mufflers trigger a check engine light, or cause the car to run any differently?
- Are there any specific items to be aware of?
Thanks guys!
