Great! Let me know how much the fab work is going to be, and if it's cheap enough, then I'll go ahead and order it, do the work with a few buddies of mine and try to hide it from the parents for a few weeks/months/years, whichever is applicable hehe.
I also got my 2.5" tailpipe from a local muffler shop, and it really opened up the car a bit. It's sounding deeper, and alot better, and also, a few years ago I purchased a spiralmax thing from (dead link) and I placed it by my throttle body like it said. Well I was cleaning out my intake tube this past weekend, and I just remembered about it. "What a waste of money this was," I thought. So I took it and placed it in the middle of my intake tube. I started the car.. and I heard this sound like swishing air. I pulled the throttle cable to rev it a bit and my engine sounded like a jet! Man I was so surprised at the sound. Thinking that was just my intake.. I took it for a test drive, and wow, I got a lot more low end torque, and a noticeable high end power. To confirm I was just driving it pretty hard around town, and I had my girlfriend and my sister in the car with me while I was taking my girlfriend home. I met up with two Rangers at a light (lucky me!) and revved. I got a rev back, so it starts. I looked over to see what model (I couldn't tell) one was a new 2001 blue Ranger Edge (what cylinders are they?) and another was a '98 body style red one. I don't know what size engine they were, but I was all for the race. I power braked to 1400 rpm, and when the light turned green, everything on top of my dash flew back as my freakin' hood lifted up (not off the ground
but still a bit up) and man I took off like a ****! I took him by himself by at least a car, maybe a car and a half, and I had 3 people in the car. Damn. So I don't know if it's the tailpipe, or the spiralmax.. but good lord I feel a damn good difference. I'm going to order another spiralmax for my girlfriend, and then we'll see if it really works. If any of you guys want to try it out, let me know the results.
I would love to stay and chat.. but I have a final paper due in the morning. Goodnight.
