Here is my problem...I had a custom engine transfer...a 4.8L mustang conversion which worked...but...it had problems ( waste of time ) anyways...I put my old block back in... the Zetec 2.0 engine...this engine had no mods what so ever...so i'm deciding to work on the exhuast before heavy snow comes... My question... I have the K&N Air Filter coming in the mail...it will arrive tomorrow at my performance parts store, and i will begin installation thursday...my question is...with my current exhaust pipes that run under the car...can i put a high performance muffler on the car ? One of those huge one with the 6 inch exhaust tips ( only one...I think it's a flowmaster... My friend said it was ok...cause he did the same to his Civic...and it boosted his horse power +40 or so...and gave it a really nice sound and thats rare with Honda Vechicles.

Quote: Here is my problem...I had a custom engine transfer...a 4.8L mustang conversion which worked...but...it had problems ( waste of time ) anyways Really, it had problems? Care to point out the problems, maybe the use of a phantom engine? Care to give us a few pics of the install(hell how about of just the engine) so we can help troubleshoot this monster? I was looking to put in a Viper V-10 in my tour, your experience will be invaluable :rolleyes: Quote: My friend said it was ok...cause he did the same to his Civic...and it boosted his horse power +40 or so... 40hp, or are we using some rice ratio ([decibel output of new muffler/decibel output stock]*100)?

I got my 4.6L, er, I mean 4.8L engine from a Lincoln Mark VIII... it fit just fine. I tried retrofitting the blower off a junked Lightning, but it didn't quite clear the automatic tranny. My installer said that if I convert my car to a 5-speed, it should fit just fine. I'm just lucky that 100-shot of nahsssss didn't blow the welds on the intake... 2000 Mercury Cougar V6 ATX. 16.0@87MPH, 155.0 FWHP
