my center resonator has a hole in it thanks to a rock but I haven't changed it because it sounds good.

Mine was CEL free until I swapped for an optimized y-pipe, so i'm sure its the O2 sensor down there! Its running fine though!

[knock on wood] mine is running good[/knock on wood] Driving more highway from my new hosue got me 23 mpg, up about 4-5 from my usual.
I need to get my windows re-titned as they have faded pretty bad, change the fuel filter and rotate the tires, other than that I can't complain!
On a side note, I found a good looking 96-97 tour at a local junkyard they are selling whole. It is an SE v6 AT with leather. It has the side skirts and the ever popular lip spoiler too! the thing was amazingly clean on the outside! I think the color is T-red with gray interior. The guy didn't know how much they want for it, and I couldn't get to it to see the mileage, but if the price is right, I'd like to pick it up to save some mileage on the SVT.

Mine's desparately wishing Mr. Hightower would get back home and do the Group Buy he was talking about for the transistor (and how-to) in the IMRC to hopefully get rid of my bogging in the heat.
Mine's also going through extreme AutoX withdrawl along with it's owner.

Mine is running great! I just put new tires,new brakes, cleaned the EGR ports and detailed her. She is for sale if anyone is interested.
