Kevin(roush2k) did a great job of formatting everything. (He is awesome with photoshop and web hosting tools.)<P>The install took a solid day. I would say about 9 hours. If id did it again I could easily cut the time to 6 hours. (I was taking my time and writing a lot of stuff down as I went.<BR>)<BR>As far as feeling a difference it's hard to say. I hadn't driven the car for a week so I couldn't do a really good back to back comparison. I will get it dynoed to see what kind of gains I got. I have the stock Bullittt cat-back and it sounds pretty mean under full throttle. I can only imagine what it would sound like with magnaflows or something a little more agressive!<P>Eric<p>[ January 26, 2002: Message edited by: Bullitt208 ] <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>2000BlackGT</b> <br /><small>Member # 283</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,0,26,17,49,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> dude, that is an awesome how-to.

On my car everything lined up perfectly. I reused most of the stock studs and only had to use a bolt in one location. I went to kragen adn found a bolt the same threadcount and size as the ones supplied by BBK, but it was longer by 5mm. This allowed me to put a lock washer on it so I don't have to worry about it baacking out.<P>I thought the code was wierd also. I ahd Bill at Apex pull it and I thought for sure it was going to be a rear O2 sensor warning. I figured even though I'm running the cats they don't clean as much as the stock ones. Once Bill told me what the code was It mnade sense. The O2's are alot farther down the line than they used to be. I'ts possible that the computer has gotten more picky with the later models as they are always trying to tighten the emmisions on these things.<P>Eric <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Poisoned Pony</b> <br /><small>Member # 26</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,0,28,19,18,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> go install article!
