Stainless Exhaust Tip From Sport Trac

[Erv Metoxen]

Good Day,

Just wanted to apologize if I offended anyone for using Bold print.

Only used it to help accent what I was trying to Ask.

As with most people, my cash flow is slow sometimes.

So I pride myself on being Penny Wise.

And Thank you Gary G. 07 V8 4X4 XLT for trying to explain what I meant



1. Torsion Twist and Shackles. Free

Made my own shackles Free



2. Cold Air Intake

Had a used K&N filter from F-150

Cone shaped and adapted to MAFS Free

Bought a used intake tube from Zabtech $30.00



3. Dual Exhaust out back

Obtained used Industrial 2.25" conduit

pipe. (aluminized) Welded myself. Free



4. Idle Adjustment

Was at 650, now at 800 rpms Free

(some may not consider this a mod)



5. EPC Adjustment

Turned .25 Free

(some may not consider this a mod)



6. Bed Light Install

Bought 2 light kits from Carquest

and I already had switch $10.00



7. 1.5" front 2" rear Spacers $110.00



I figure that the savings from performing adjustments myself

and making my own parts saved me at the least $300 to $400 Bucks.



Future mods;



1. Original 1st Gen Stainless Steel Exhaust tips welded to my free dual exhaust



2. Zabteck Throttle body, for 01, job 1



3. X-Cal 2 or 3



4. BF Goodrich All Terrains 265-75 16



Hope I am still welcome on My Sport Trac .com



Thank you and have a good day

What did you use for your muffler in your "free dual exhaust" system.



I'm glad you apologized...I thought you had over-reacted to the response you got.

Originally i used a flowmaster my brother gave me, his son was going to put it on

a bronco 11, but decided to sell the bronco. As of now I have deleted the muffler

and trying to find some 3" tubing to put in its place. Right now I am running no muffler

at all. So far the aluminized conduit tubing is holding up great. Upon comparison, the

conduit has a thicker wall than the original tubing. So hopefully it will last as long.

If not I have several yards left to repair.

Thank you *Mookie* for being concerned.

With no muffler, is it really loud?

 

[Erv Metoxen]

My wife thinks so, not me. Suprisingly it doesn`t cackle. More than

likely cause of the 4 catylitic converters slowing the flow.

Still sounds a little too high pitched for me, that is why I am looking

for some 3" pipe to help lower the tone.

cool

erv 01, need to remember. The larger the tubing, the more low end torque you will loose.

Just a sujestion..
