Any Help Appreciated

[rjs]

Hello everyone,

I took my car to an exhaust place to see if they can do something minor to my car to make the exhaust a little bit louder (pretty much to be differet from the std exhausts sound).

Also my funds are not crash hot to consider for a full exhaust for sound and performance, therefore something that was not that expensive but gave a noticeable difference in sound only.

Boy was this a mistake. My car now sounds really beefy and like it's on steroids, but there was a catch, I HAVE LOST A NOTICEABLE AMOUNT OF POWER.

Therefore I look to your advice to see if anybody has changed there exhaust system and may have the slight possibility of retaining the std system. I have called Ford and they advised $850.00 for just a muffler. I need the system which also includes the second muffler as well.

So any help would be appreciated if you are willing to sell or do a deal. I do not have alot of funds but thought I'd just ask.

Thanks guys,

RJS

when did you do it mate?

does the exhaust place still have your muffler(s)? :(

We did this at first and it did not affect power at all and it should not affect power as it is a straight though muffler.if they welded the new pipes in did they use surge protector on the battery this may have affected the computor if they did not use one.

I did it just recently on the weekend.

I am not sure on whether they used a surge protector, but when Ford had a look at it they said something about back pressure affecting the cars performance when removing the muffler.

I can understand where you're coming from.

Hmmm, the exhaust system that's now on the N/A, great thing is that it sounds quite nice and not that noticable when cruising, hehe, just turn prem sound up a wee bit. Give it some stick and man.....WOHOO, It's back to the old days of the XC GS Hardtop I had. Loud, V8'ish......I know I'm a long haired hoon. hehe. :D Love it.

Although I might get sick of it later in life, need to stay young so it doesn't become a problem, luckily it's now a cruise car, not the work horse, otherwise yes I would get sick of the rumble very quickly......Got some looks driving to work today B)

I wanted it so it's my fault entirely. Just need to learn that I don't have to go everywhere like a bat out of hell and it will be fine. Way more economical, barely noticed the fuel guage move. Only when I flaw it...

This problem sounds familiar. A very good friend of mine was mucking around with his exhaust on his T, and he gained power, but lost torque. strange.....
