- In this video i talk about some of the cheapest bang for your buck when it comes to modding your crown Victoria!
these mods wont break your wallet and will bring your overall horsepower gains UP! 
Авто/Мото
... this is literally like the American version of a Honda ricer screaming autistically that they gained 15hp from a cold air intake.
i hate how true that is :( hahah
From an owner of a crown vic u sir are correct 😂😂
TBH 15hp is a good gain for a small car like a Honda. In a Vic, it's pretty useless.
@Ford Fanatic Not in a 4,000+lb car
@Ford Fanatic Dude, it's not. I even did some of this stuff on my old Ranger and maybe got 15hp. My throttle response was a lot better, but overall acceleration didn't really improve. Mods like this are only good on light weight cars, or boosted cars. An extra 15hp on a tired, old, SOHC 4.6 in a car that weighs 4,000lbs, is not noticeable.
As someone who's owned many Vics in his time, I can say that the stock airbox and zip tube do not need to be modified. It will flow enough air to feed a mildly modified Vic just fine. Headers for a Vic cost as much as if you were buying another car at the auction so not really "affordable." ( Over $1,000 for a set of the cheaper ones.) A TB spacer doesn't really do anything but make your throttle response a tiny bit snappier. With a little fabrication skills, there is a throttle body option for drive by wire cars. Get yourself a stock throttle body off a 5.4 liter 3V truck. Those are 75mm versus the 65mm that comes stock. Many CVPI's from 06 and up already have 3:55 gears which are just fine for road trips and the occasional stop light drag race. ( My 06 came stock with 3:55's and a limited slip trac lock.) The biggest horsepower gain you will ever get is from a custom tune. A custom tune is money well spent, especially if you're on a budget like most people. Upgrading the exhaust system is another worthwhile expense. Anyone who wants to get more power out of their Vic should concentrate on two things, upgrading the exhaust system, and getting a dyno tune. If you are going to put NOS on it, you should really think about upgrading the fuel pump to a high flow one considering the pump already in your fuel tank most likely has well over 100,000 miles on it. The first time your engine leans out on spray will be the last time it ever does. Again, using a power adder like spray requires other things to support it like proper fuel supply and of course you need a tune to get it to run right. Unless you want your pistons looking like somebody used them for blowtorch practice, or sending a connecting rod through the side of your engine block. But before someone thinks about modifying their engine, they should really make sure it is in good running condition. All sensors working properly, good spark plugs, and ignition coils, fuel pump in good shape or upgraded if planning on a power adder, changing the sloppy timing chains and worn guides that are bound to be on a car with over 100,000 miles like most Vics, and things like making sure they have changed the fuel filter. No sense in modifying an engine that runs like crap because of worn or malfunctioning components is there? Doing all of those "free" tricks won't amount to a hill of beans if that 30 or so horsepower you supposedly picked up is being robbed because your check engine light is on because your O2 sensors are bad or your cats are plugged.
04Interc3ptorP71 wow, good stuff. I’ve had my 03 grand mar for almost ten years and it’s completely stock. Always say if it ain’t stock then it’s unreliable.
Modified can be very reliable as well. It takes time and money though. You have to build it right. For instance, somebody with a civilian Vic can simply go to the pick a part and get the dual exhaust and aluminum driveshaft off a CVPI and gain an instant improvement for not a lot of money.
04Interc3ptorP71 Bro you should make us a video too , you sound like you know your stuff. I love my vic ☺
I have a video on how to fix a couple codes people sometimes get with their Vics. I've seen several online posts about the problem, but never a fix so I made a video to help with the issue. It's on my channel.
i was thinking about pulling a airbox off a 2004 cvpi ,so your saying my 2005 already has the marauder airbox?
I just bought 2003 Crown Vic and it runs like a beast. It only cost me $800 but is literally almost like new besides some dirt and cigarette burns on the seats. No repairs or replacements needed so far, no accident history, and less than 100k miles on it. This comes into my life when I desperately needed transportation, so it's a huge blessing. I've fallen in love with it, and videos like these get me hyped on all the work I want to put into it.
The.best car ever made.
Where you buy or how did you
Best price ive ever seen for one in that condition
LOL explain to me how adding a TB spacer makes your engine require 93 octane. Once you hear that hit the pause button and go back to watching Tom&Jerry you'll learn more there.
yea stick to watching cartoons you clearly are too dumb to understand how something as simple as a throttle body spacer works LOL
I know enough that a TB spacer does not require 93 octane fuel and wrapping an air tube with gold foil does nothing for the type of heat rejection your looking for under the hood of your car. Now that I have replied I will resume watching Tom&Jerry tho I could probably get few laffs watching the rest of this video.
Did this man really say a TB spacer requires you to have 93 octane gas? I guess stickers add 5hp a piece huh?
Its obvious that the guy making these videos is not knowledgable. I hope not too many people listen to his nonsense.
Flashing your PCM with a custom tune that adds more timing generally requires 93 octane. A throttle body spacer never has and never will.
Vic already has a CAI, pulls it's air from the outside of the engine compartment in front of the radiator. As far as the spacer, you probably get more removing the dumb comb thing then the spacer gives.
Every sticker adds 5hp
The early Vics, Marquis, and Lincolns had a "snorkle" (silencer) on the front of the air box, where it drew SOME air from ahead of the radiator support, but not all. Later models have a rubber sleeve that attaches to the air box and extends forward to get ALL it's air from forward of the engine compartment. Early models should remove the "snorkle", and attach one of those rubber sleeves to the air box to provide cooler air through the "stock" system, thus saving a ton of cash and maintaining the "factory stock" appearance.
As for that "dumb cone thing" -- I don't understand the engineering behind it, and it makes NO SENSE to me, as it appears to choke off a shit-ton of air to the engine at high rpms.
If anybody KNOWS exactly what it does and/or how it works, please tell us. We gots to KNOW !!
@@SlikLizrd I did not know that, I have only had later ones (2 05's and an 06). Thanks for the clarification.
@@SlikLizrd I've read your concern about the goofy looking comb thing between the plenum and throttle body, and after giving it a good cleaning and examining it, best I can figure is that it's supposed to redistribute the air coming in and prevent birds and small children from being sucked into the intake.
I have no idea...but it has a gasket, so it stays for now.
The actual cold air intake can pull more air then the stock air intake even if you got the K&N performance square filter for the stock air intake the cone version cold air intake will still pull more air
What does "almost under $100" mean?
Ya i was wondering the same thing
Almost under $100 means $100. If it's not over $100, and it's not under $100, it must be exactly $100.
Throttle body spacer doesn't do anything.
myeah i have a hard time seeing that do anything.
I found a throttle body spacer for my car at the junkyard and when I installed it the only noticeable difference was that it was more responsive at bottom end but once you got past a quarter throttle there was no difference.
He said it was like a mini supercharger lol. These do nothing and if they do maybe 1 hp
The 91 octane is what gave him the extra power hahaha
Thats not the only problem with this video. This guy is obviously clueless about automotive tech.
Throttle body spacer and high octane fuel mini supercharger 🤣 that's some funny shit i reckon you be lucky to see .5 hp pmsl
95 Mercury Grand Marquis I had it for 11 years second motor fourth transmission I just can't get rid of it. shot out to the Grand Marquis and crown Vic rider's it's all about the 4.6 engine
The 95 MERC is now at 167,000 miles -- original engine and transmission.
Dual exhaust = Walker H-Pipe, MagnaFlow 2" Glasspax, Walker tailpipes.
Bosch #9605 Double-Iridium Plugs; Bosch #09725 Mag-Core Ignition Wires; K&N Air Filter with air box Snorkle removed.
Another way to get quick easy horsepower out of your Crown Vic is to put a zip tie or 3 or 5 on the back side of your gas pedal in order to take the slak out of the cable because 90% of them are stretched out a good way to check this out and see if you need to take up some slack is to take that intake tube off have somebody sit in the car and put the gas pedal to the floor look and see if the butterfly inside the throttle body is opening all the way! Many of them do not because they're trying to restrict airflow and to keep you from giving it Full Throttle I have seen many of these cables not even stretch to put adjusted and someone in the gas pedal is put to the floor the butterfly in the throttle body does not open up all the way. I do this with all cars that have a cable still operating the throttle! You gain a lot more horsepower when you can actually give your vehicle Full Throttle!!! Many times that throttle body will only open about three-quarters of the way when your throttle pedal is floored from inside the car! Trying to adjust at the throttle body rarely will work because the cable is so far stretched and they do not give you enough adjustment at the throttle body! Basically if it's got a throttle cable take the air intake tube off of the throttle body have somebody sit in the car and put your gas pedal to the floor look inside the throttle body and check and see if the butterfly has opened up all the way inside of the intake! If it doesn't climb under the dash go to the cable at the top of the throttle pedal and then put zip tie after zip tie onto the throttle cable between the cable and the pedal until when the accelerator is depressed all the way the throttle body opens up all the way! You'll be surprised just how many cars don't give the car full throttle when floored in the car. Trust me you gain a lot of horsepower when you can use more than 60% of your throttle! If you drive a vehicle open up the Heavens throttle cable check this out I can almost guarantee you your throttle body no matter what vehicle it is on isn't opening all the way! Gaining 30% more throttle for the price of a couple of zip ties now that's a horsepower gain anybody can get behind and every car just about with a throttle cable at this point is more than likely stretched or was previously adjusted so you could not give your car Full Throttle. More than likely if you're driving a car that still has a throttle cable it's at least 10 years old and that cable is stretched! A few zip ties could gain you so much power check it out!!
Love the vids can you please link where you found that exact bike rack?
You forgot the jmod
Thank you Philip Thomas. Call dealer and sure enough my son's car had recall . Made appointment for this Wednesday. THANK YOU AGAIN. Safe some $$$$$$.
One other trick to boost a lil horsepower and to make the air intake colder is take a small cutout of aluminum screen like you would find on a screen door and install it on the hole where air comes inside the air intake box and over the hole where the air passes through the air filter and goes into the engine. You'll immediately notice the boost in power once you do this, I've done it on a 1995 honda civic i had and man that thing cooked
For the intake, I'm sure you could make a shroud around the filter to prevent the engine breathing hot air from the engine bay. Air is poor at heat transfer to solid surfaces, heat transfer to the intake pipe will be minimal, but a shrouded filter will make a difference will stop hot air being sucked into the engine. I wonder if there are intake kits that relocate the filter down away from the engine bay heat?
I wonder if there are any standalone ECUS that could be used from a Mustang application. It is the same engine and trans after all, that will definitely make a difference, you can even have multiple maps for different octane ratings of fuel and for use with E85 :D
I still have my full flowmaster exhaust & STAINLESS WORKS headers. I know its not cheap but I really wanna supercharge it or at the very least cam it.
I've been thinking about a pro charger myself, but I'm having a hard time trying to explain to my wife why I need a part that costs more than twice as much as the car when it runs fine. 🤪
I have a 05 Lincoln Town Car or all those mods work for my car?
These mods I’d definitely do but I’d be really worried about burning out the automatic trans quickly, but you could just 5 speed swap with a sequential shifter.
Man get a manual.
if you have a 06 to 08. a trans tune will help just fine. 09 to 11. shift kit will do wonders. 05 and older, I'd only start doing shift kits and Trans tunes once you need to replace it.
Jmod the transmission
3:49 he left is ID in the shot lol
I have a 2004 Crown Vic P71 which did not come equipped with cruise control and after seeing this video about parts from Mustang GT I wondered if a CC unit for the GT would work with my P71. The local dealer told me if it didn't come equipped with one then not even after market kits would work. Any advise on this I'd really appreciate.
Should definitely list where we can get these cheap parts
Cool vids. Been looking for ways to pass people slowing down cause a cop cars behind them without going into street mod levels.
About how many horses can be added before needing to worry about over stressing the drive train?
This is awesome! The only thing missing now is a crown Victoria
I removed my back 2 cats and wow! She’s running much more free.
Side note, use Jeggs deep Tone mufflers. It sounds like a Mustang.
Personally, I prefer S&B filters over k&n. I just feel like their quality is better and they perform a lot better on higher horse power applications
I don't see how a TB spacer would add anything
WJ Handy Dad "venturi"
WJ Handy Dad I agree , it doesn't even make pressure .
Lol mini supercharger
He said it "increases the amount of air that goes into your throttle body" even though its placed behind it
That’s because it doesn’t do anything. Biggest sham ever.
The crown vics in Saudi Arabia comes with only one cat
I would think those vics have a few "primo" adjustments..... i want to onow all the differences
I think somebody's pulling your leg, dude -- WHERE would a single cat be mounted on the V-8 engine ?
Hey i have an lx my transs juat went out got a different transsmisson of a 2000 vic stock but didnt match up kuz twerk converter
Does the stock mustang intake plenum say BBK on it or is the one with the Mustang symbol on it the same thing?
the j mod is cool. i did that on a 98 mustang gt. made it alot more fun!
Do you need to replace the MAF sensor when bolting on the BBK throttle body?
So I did a swap for the underdrive pulleys and I’m noticing the belt looks like it’s touching and it’s a newish belt so I’m wondering will I need a new belt ?
Thank you. Very helpful. Appreciate your prompt response. Looking forward to more of your helpful videos. Keep up the good work.
5:30 plenum as in the full intake plenum that's mounted to the heads, or just the throttle body?
I work on in service crown vics every day, all this is bull except the nitrous, they'll handle a 75 shot in moderation
Thanks. Did it and recall is for headlights. But thanks for you're help.
Wanna go faster? Remove the bumper guard
1976 bronx why
Max Dixon obviously weight
Yeah then go on a diet
YEP. All that extra weight on the front suspension contributes to more understeer, and changes the car's handling considerably under adverse conditions. Extra weight on the nose increases stopping distance, too.
Yes, some folks think that the bumper guard thingy is "cool", and/or "bad-ass", but it has NO practical use on a street-driven, civilian vehicle.
I just got my 2000 CV back on the road TODAY. it feels like a cloud on any road, cloud, not turbulrnce
What about e85 on the flex fuel models. I'm looking to get a crown vic police interceptor what years should I look for and flex fuel models are they worth getting
2008
Serious question: Is the car been run on a dyno before and after to prove that this gives you horsepower? Or do you guys only trust what the supplier of the parts says?
Thanks for this video mr random 😎
I already straight piped mines,is it too lat to remove the CATS?
I wanna know how to make the cruise control work. All the fuses are good no broken wires anywhere.
Could these mods fit on the Lincoln town car?
Throttle body spacer, gain 5hp, then have to purchase high test gas for the life of the car. WTF!!!
I now have catless 2 1/4 dual exhaust with Flowmaster40's. My car definitely sounds badass now.
Waktosha 73 but still slow AF!!!!!
They will do 120 mph plus, how much faster do you drive ?
2 1/4 - inch exhaust pipes and mufflers are TOO BIG for the 4.6 Liter engine. You WILL lose low-and-midrange torque (where you need it most). TWO (2) inches is maximum -- and allows for proper exhaust EXTRACTION.
@@polskatoja
Not really.
I own a Grand Marquis v8, Yes and yeah.
That Throttle Body Spacer doesn't do a damned thing for a Grand Marquis, either. K&N CAI isn't worth the money -- it only helps a little at wide-open-throttle, normal driving does NADA !!
Bumper Tuck is no bonus below 60 mph. Removing catalytic conveters is illegal, and STUPID -- they're making 700 HP , street-legal cars that sell all over the country, and they have CATS IN PLACE !! Some fools believe that more noise equals more power -- that's why they call them fools.
@@SlikLizrd yo I gotta 98 marquis pushing 356 HP (mods from first owner) but do you think I can make more without swapping
Great vid but 2 points. 1. A dyno sheet would be great. 2. Congrats, your vic has the projected hp as a stock marauder (260 in a vic) vs 302 in marauder
So only the police interceptor was rated at 250 , grand marquis and town were rated at Around 224 , I can assume the biggest difference Would be the factory tune .
But marauders are hard to get... Comparatively...I would love one😭
just grab the K&N filter for the stock air box it flows plenty , the spacer is a waste of money and if your exhaust and cats are in good shape it also flows fine, the C V was engineered to perform from the factory
CVPI's are engineered to perform. Civilian Vics were engineered for grandma to get groceries. And yes, that's all one needs to do is get the K&N panel filter for the air box as the stock air box for a CVPI is from the Marauder and supports a 306 horsepower engine. I have to laugh at these people who put those cone air filters on there thinking they are doing something for performance. All they are doing is taking a stock system that is already a cold air intake ( It gets air from behind the driver side headlight in front of the radiator.) and "modifying" it to suck up hot engine bay air. Not to mention, they may end up with idle problems due to the fan wash from the cooling fans coming on. That's why all the aftermarket cone intake kits come with a shield that goes around the filter.
You mean the "insulation shield?" not the water from the cooling fan Shield
Yup I didn't wanna mess up my marauder air box so I got the filter is gd and plenty
Would this also apply to an 08 grand marquis?
I own a 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis LS Does my car fit for a candidate for these modifications?🤔
Your '97 Marquis is one of the early, low-powered engines (190 hp Single exhaust; 210 hp with Dual exhaust). Weak spot was ignition wires -- change to BOSCH # 09725 Mag-Core Ignition Wires and BOSCH #9605 Double-Iridium Spark Plugs @ .054.
To avoid MAF issues, use a WIX flat air filter in the stock air box and change it YEARLY. Install a Dual Exhaust, with Walker H-Pipe, Magna-Flow Glasspax, Walker tailpipes.
DO NOT remove the catalytic converters, the "benefits" are minimal -- while you make more noise and pollute everybody's air.
Hey bro I love the video and I answered yes to all 3 questions but 1 other question I have is does these work for the Lincoln town car? I subscribed to your channel l
it sure will man 100%
Removing the rear cats . why not remove all 4 , would that be better. ?
Are these mods applicable for Lincoln Town Car as well?
I have a 2000 and a 05 both P71. I love this video
Needs to make a video about gas mileage improvement I don’t have a crown Vic.
Even a vehicle at all but I want a crown Vic and I want to see if I could improve it’s gas mileage if I get one. I’m 18 and I’m looking for a job
Don’t floor it everywhere and keep your filters clean and your tires full..there’s not much that can be done in the ways of mpg improvement..keep in mind these cars were never really made for economical use
E Riv your telling a 18 year old kid not to floor it LMAO
James Scherbenske I know 🤣😂🤣..I realized how much sense it didn’t make after I commented
She’s gets good mpg on the hwy you’ll be fine I get 20 in the city and have gotten 27 on the hwy
Steel Dragon ya get 23mpg usually that’s relatively good
Do all this work on 4.6 2003 f150 too?
Hey I got a 2005 Crown Victoria with some corroded spark plugs how do I remove this corrosion off the spark plug it's real have build up
Just buy new spark plugd. If
You can't afford $4-5 bucks for a spark plug. Use a hard brush and clean the corrosion off
Best Spark Plug for the 2005 4.6 Liter engine = BOSCH #9606 Double Iridium.
Gap @ .054 -- Use NO anti-sieze, tighten to 130 Inch-Pounds.
I had a Silverado and I went from a flow master exhaust to just straight pipe and I noticed a instant loss in low end torque, I put a x pipe on it and I instantly got it back just my experience with back pressure
Very informative . Cheers
Also a cold air intake is actually more harmful to your vehicle unless you also upgrade your fuel intake and your exhaust export. Adding colder air in a massive open amount fights against with the computer is telling the car to do.
Bbk 2004 to 06 f150 and expedition plenums will work on newer vics and mercs love your videos mr.random
Will it work on a 07 vic
The fastest way to tell that someone doesn’t actually know anything about engines or cars is to hear them praise a throttle body spacer... god is dead
But...but.. it's like a "little mini supercharger" for "almost under a hundred bucks". 🤣
is the 4.6 a good motor how many miles can you get out of that motor
Using full synthetic (not blended) engine oil, factory-recommended oil-change intervals, and the factory-recommended oil viscosity, your 4.6 -liter should easily make the 200,000-mile mark -- many owners have gone MUCH farther.
The wrapping your intake piping in heat shield to "keep the cold air cold" is a myth. Debunked most recently by the engine masters show. The air is moving so fast it makes 0 difference.
3:41 "reflecting heat away from it?? Is there a sun inside the hood?
OMG. The list of things not to do that will just drain your wallet. There is just so much wrong with these suggestions, I don't know where to start.
Well why don’t you start somewhere so I can point out why you are wrong
My 03 LX Sport is needing extra power, so especially the cheap upgrades from other Ford vehicles(F-E150, Mustang, etc)
I own a 2000 mgm. How do I know if I have pi engine?
Bad ass video bro !
And you will you loss back presser if you do the piping wrong
will these mods work on a mercury grand marquis
Will these Crown Victoria parts also work with a Lincoln Town Car of the same year? Thanks
These mods will work fine on mostly all of the Panther chassis cars.
Be smart -- DO NOT remove your vehicle's catalytic converters unless they are plugged and/or damaged internally. The air quality you will save can be enjoyed later in your life.
Low key i think im going to get me a crown vic & make it a nice little sleeper
What about a 2004 Grand Marquis with no cats and no mufflers? Will it be way to loud?
It truly depends on the diameter of the pipe however if you live in a state that does emissions you will not pass without your cats
What's the best place to get cold air intake setup?
Go down to the 7-11 and get a bag of ice cubes -- put a pound of ice in the air box, under the K&N filter element, before each run. WAY better performance than a CAI. Must use K&N filter -- ONLY filter that works when it is WET !!
IF YOU HAVE A TRUE P71 DO NOT MESS WITH THE INTAKE SETUP!! IT IS BETTER!
Going to need to upgrade your stock transmission after all that I think
throttle body spacers make it unable for the cruise control cord to attach the the throttle mount
Also add under drive pulleys and run E85 fuel
What k an n cold air filter will fit on my 2001 grand marquis?
The one designed for it..go to the parts store tell them you want a new filter and get the k&n..it’s very simple
What headers did U get exactly
Alright mr "random" you have a 07 cvpi when will you be modding it with videos
Hey can u do one in models above 2005 to 11
High mileage fuel STP..works like now in my Vic...that's all you need,and a half tank and tires will.burn.good😉
This video blew my mind. This car is a total sleeper.
I did the 78 mm BBK throttle body a 80 mm maf the k&n air filter cut a hole in the air box and she really woke up
I have a 91.. how can I make that one faster? It has the 5.0 engine
Your '91 5.0 was stock at 140 HP -- The '92 4.6 was stock at 190 HP, 210 HP with factory Duals. Dozens of mods available for your 5.0 -- not so with the 4.6.
JEG'S and/or Summit Racing will have anything you need to make your 5.0 into a rocket -- but remember, a 2-ton car ain't gonna get many trophies !
Talk to me about straight piping. In my volvo 940 I subtracted two mufflers and left the cat. I felt like my mileage went down pretty bad. I hella wanna straight pipe Vic but It dont got amazing gas mileage to begin with
Probably got worse gas mileage because you drive/accelerate more agressively with louder exhaust. Removing the cat on my ranger increased mileage about 1.5 mpg.
Remove all 4 cats and mufflers and run glass packs with side exits, XCT tuner allows disable rear o2's so no engine light, but hard time finding throttle spacer for my 07.
Finally found one... Taylor Cable Helix 46007, was only $80 at local AutoZone, and they got it in next day, haha. Makes difference on low end torque and whistles aren't to loud like AirRaid.
2010 police interceptor that got stolen I got it back but now I need to replace ignition front windshield hood etc. but it still runs good as usual😏
Just to let you guys know, there are two really big issues regarding any P71 air box or CAI mods: 1. For those drive by cable (Year1996-2004) that won't throw a code for this mod , drive by cable years all have oil filler cap neck on the driver side valve cover (except for 2003 and some 2004), making the stock P71 air tube and some aftermarket intake air tube impossible to fit, unless you want to change both valve cover (96-02) to 2003-2009 valve covers. But then the fuel line on 1996-2002 would conflict the passenger side oil filler cap neck on 03-09 valve covers. 2. For those drive by cable (Year1996-2004), there is an 2 wire connected Intake Air Temperature sensor embeded in the air box and a 4 wire connected 70mm MAF sensor. The P71 aire box and some KAI have a different size MAF sensor port for 6 wire connected MAF, which means you need to solder together the 2 wires IAT and 4 wires MAF to fit the 6 wires connected MAF. The process is a lot of trouble. Be aware! I realized these two issues after doing tons of KAI and P71 air box swap on panther cars. With this being said, only 2003-2004 panthers can have this mod as direct bolt ons. For other years, you either need a tune to avoid vehicle running lean, or you need to find a way rewiring the MAF or relocate oil filler cap neck with different valve covers and fuel lines.
Can anyone let me know highway rpms stock vs 3.73 vs 4.10s
Found out my p71 has 3023 idling hours very nice find.
You only lose back pressure if you cut it at the h pipe and lose the bend. Ik from experience lol. Straight piping it normally- cut and replace - works fine
First things first guys before
You Modify anything change the intake manifold and get either a new stock or something OEM or a upgraded performance one.
It will save you lots of BS changing spark plugs, and ignition coils. Plus running with missfire's. They will start leaking coolant around bottom of thermostat housing. Eventually coolant will run on valve covers and find it's way down the rubber boots causing bunch of problems
Mine is a 97 crown vic, idk how much I can do for it.
im getting an 06 crown vic lx sport sedan. wrecked the 2000 mercury grand marquis ls and time for a new car with a v8 and rwd for some fun
Sometimes going with bigger pipes aren't always the best
Yes, bigger is not always better -- ESPECIALLY when selecting Exhaust Pipe Diameter. Too small a diameter causes restrictions in exhaust flow.
Too large a diameter causes a loss of low and mid-range torque -- and increased fuel consumption due to lack of exhaust scavenging.
Factory dual exhausts on Vics, Marquis, and Town Cars are 1 and 7/8ths inches in diameter -- which yeilds 20 hp over the single exhaust.
The famous 95 MERC employs a Walker H-Pipe; 2-inch MagnaFlow Glasspax; and Walker 2 " Tailpipes. Yields 22-24 hp over stock, checked with G-Tech Pro.
Man you're trying to get me in trouble aren't you awesome
