Installing TBS...yes I know. - Ford Explorer Ranger Enthusiasts "Serious Explorations"®

cdub05 · 02-21-2007, 12:33 PM

Ok so I bought a TBS from a member brand new in the box for half price. I figure its worth trying, Im going more for a different sound than the power ( I hear some people get a whistly sound). I realize that its not going to help performance wise much at all, and that people get really fired up about TBS, so please dont waste your time telling me it isnt going to work or isnt worth it.

With that being said, I am no mechanic at all, and was wondering if I could possibly screw anything up taking out the stock trottle body to put this in, and if there is any chance of that, should I just take it to someone more mechanically inclided?

will do. Im really hoping to get the whistly noise. Ive heard some vehicles you really get it and others you dont, so we will see.

sad to say that it wasnt the right one. it had a rounded top with the main opening and a small one at the top, and my tb has a flat top with only 1 opening. im very dissapointed, and sorry to say i cant tell you how it sounds 2000xplorersport.

Because is a rule on the forum and just about every other forum. Read the rules before you post. Obviously you don't know where the button is since you just did it again...ass hat.
