Getting a flowmaster for my '00 5.0 XLT.

[TekMan05]

Ok just got back from the Muffler shop. Unfortunately they do not carry Flowmaster parts so I will have to order off the internet because it would be cheaper than them ordering it for us. The good news is they only charge a 40 dollar labor fee which is good. I will order the kit tonight from Summit Racing. Does anyone know how long parts from that website take to ship out to your front door?

It shouldn't take to long to ship, maybe a week, but like we've been saying just order the muffler, and have them do a custom tail pipe and romove the rear cats.

It's here my Force II Flowmaster kit has arrived. I'll probably have the muffler shop install it for me tommorow I have to work today and don't have the time before they close. But the guy techieman33 you said vends those mac performance intake systems, sent me a reply message saying there's isnt an intake for my application?? I thought they make them for V8 Generation 2 explorers?

 

[techieman33]

Yeah they Mac makes a CAI for our motors, the link I posted a couple of posts up is to the intake. He might just not be able to get them? I'm not sure.

My bad lol I gues I misunderstood.

Oh my goodness I'm loving this system. Even though I didn't have any cats removed and just stuck to the normal kit, I see the differfence. Sounds like a beauty and does Run fast at higher RPM's. It's not much louder idling like most said but heard that Exhaust systems need time to break in? Also Theres a strange burning metallic smell coming from the system somewhere. Is that just from the weld or something else?

 

[techieman33]

It will get a little bit louder than it is now, but not much, the smell is normal it will go away in time.

"While your flowmaster muffler is being installed you should consider having the rear secondary cat converters removed, then run a dual in single out style flowmaster (dual 2.25 in single 3" out) this is a great setup for a 5.0L truck"

How would this affect the performance of the vehicle with stock manifolds and piping?

Also, I thought there is no gain at all in performance with the stock headers?????

Single out 2.5 or 3.00???
