I was going to mod my exhaust this winter and i am starting to gather info on the best way to do it...(for power and sound). I am pretty handy when it comes to work...so I was thinking of Customizing my own!!!
Since i am just a working class fellow like most of us....i think the factory manifolds will do(unless they are cheap enough)...
One question i have is what does the Resonator do? Do i need it..or is it just a piece of junk to restrict the flow? Also can I relocate the 02 sensor wherever on the pipe? Also I am cutting out my cats altogether!!
Another question i have is what size pipe should i use?...
Right now i am pushing about 14 to 16 pounds of boost(from what i hear..that is awsome) So far my current mods are a Hypertech power Module..and a 10% pulley on the blower..and Flowmaster Mufflers,and i took that cheap little air silencer off!!! Those are my olny mods so far!!! Also last spring i rebuilt the top half of the engine...i just got the heads resurfaced and as little taken off as possible!!
Hey....i have also got a Cervini's Ram Air Hood..and i was hoping to put my brain skills to use and maybe this winter i can engineer a project to make it functional...but the best way i figure is to get a different intake manifold..one that is designed for ram air induction(which is probably impossible to fit on the bird)they made these cars so dam tight under the hood, i dunno...but i have checked into other designs from GM and Ford...they say some of there cars have ram air(like the Grand Am).but it isn't true ram air..i gathered that it is more like guided air entry!!! What i am hoping for is the Ram Air like they had on the Muslce Cars of the 60's and 70's.
I realize the Ram Air is a little far fetched..but hey .. its nice to dream...hehehehe
Thanks to all who Help!!!!!!!!
