Title: What to do... What to do?...
Post by: kewlbird08 on July 05, 2006, 09:15:17 PM
Well I decided to wait another year to drop in the 351.  SO, I have some 'new found' cash to work with.  What do you guys think I should do?  2.3L Turbo Coupe, Boost Valve, 5-Speed, Wheels/Tires.  Previous owner got a cheapy exhaust job done, I'm not even runnin' dual exhaust at the present time.  I was thinking I should just run 3 inch dual exhaust all the way back with flowmasters and then just keep it for the 351.  What does everyone think?

Around the passanger side of the car entirely. Especially over the axle and around the gas tank.

Will 2.5" fit?  And will i lose too much back pressure with 2.5 duals?

With minor adjustments(IE large hammer) to the gas tank support brackets, 2 1/2" fits fine....

Stop worring about back pressure... ANY amount is BAD... IF you loose performance with improved exaust, it's time to richen the mixture...
