New Exhaust

[frdwrnch]

Just got my Marauder back from having the exhaust upgraded. Got the ceramic coated shorty headers from Ford Racing, high flow catalytic converters and x-pipe. Sounds real cool and feels a little stronger too. The neighbors probably wonder what's wrong with me. Why would someone spend 5 minutes revving up their engine in the driveway? But then again, I think i have them pretty well broken in with the noise created by my other projects. I'll be at Autofair next weekend. Vendor spot QB-56 in the Blue field.
When is the next meeting? I want to show my go-fast goodies and my Woodward pics.RW.

I dunno about the meeting. This'll be my 2nd consecutive miss though.

Do you still have the stock mufflers ? :confused:

[frdwrnch]

Yes, stock mufflers. Went drag racing the other night and car was much quicker. Gained .4 sec and 4 mph. Ambient temp was a small factor. Last test and tune it was 15 deg F warmer. 8.98 sec @ 80.12 mph.

Do these shorty headers bolt onto the existing exhaust system without mods?

What he said.

[frdwrnch]

The only modification necessary is to the EGR tube which must be repositioned. This must be done carefully as the corrugated metal is thin and delicate.

I have the exact same exhaust system set-up that you just had installed. I am very pleased with the performance and sound. To be specific it is the FRC Cobra shorty coated headers and the Cobra hi-flow X-pipe with 2 CATS connected to the the stock mufflers and tail pipes. With this system and my other modest mods, I have been able to nail 13.98 in the 1/4. Not very many board members have this type of set-up, but it works very well.

With the talk about headers will these fit http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1996-2001-4-6-4V-COBRA-FORD-RACING-SHORTY-HEADERS_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcate goryZ33631QQitemZ7986941817QQr dZ1QQsspagenameZWD1V

The FRPP number for the Cobra Ceramic coated shorty headers is M-9430-E465, list is $450. You can usually get a 15%+ discount from the counterman if you talk to them (and you do not pay shipping). I would not recommend the SS headers (E464) for $350. The coated headers flow the exhaust gases better, last longer, contain the heat in the header better and do not discolor. Mine have been on for a year and look brand new.

Remember the headers will ONLY fit the Cobra X-pipe (Magnaflow #93335, SS 2 1/2") which has to be cut and extended 4" due to the longer wheelbase of the MM. This is a job for a good muffler shop. I had mine done at Todd's Grand Muffler in Atlanta.
