Wondering how to build more torque... #1021370 08/05/04 09:11 PM

I have an Injen intake, 2.5" exhaust, Ford Racing Wires, Diablo Chip. I'm looking for something cost effective... Any ideas would be appreciated. If less is more, think how much more, more is...

You are probably losing low end torque by having the 2.5" exhaust. The Y-Pipe mod is the best bang for your buck torque mod. 1998.5 E1 SVT Contour #5482/6535

Prob not much. and regards to 2.5" exaust. I put a brullen wich is 2.5" on my tour. and i noticed a huge tq difference. esp. below 3500rpm's. Now if you are runnig a zetec, 2.5 might be too big.

Funny, with my Brullen, I dynoed a torque loss below 3500 RPM and a nice torque gain at 5000 and higher. But, when I put on the y-pipe I gained all the torque back and then some below 3500. A "normal" 6 banger would most likely lose some torque down low with a 2.5" exhaust. 1998.5 E1 SVT Contour #5482/6535

Other then that you're looking at significant money for HP gains with marginal gains in TQ. BTW, I've got an MSDS Y-Pipe w/cat that I might be selling. If you're interestred PM me.

Would one of the BAT Y-pipes outperform the msds y-pipe? Has any one ever done a dyno comparision between the two? 1996 Mondeo 24v 4-door twin janspeed stainless pipe cat by-pass Phase 2 RS bodykit 16" cosworth alloys K&N RU3530 SVT TB/UIM/LIM poly bushings konis/bat springs/bar Pioneer MSDS Indiglos P&P heads 2005 Mondeo Zetec Tdci
