Exhaust work done today

[DON SVO]

In the Festiva?

Yup.

Here's my exhaust video I made when I was 19.

[Mike]

3:73's, tune, and now straight pipe exhaust I'm not expecting much extra horsepower. I'm not going for alot of power I'd like to hit anywhere from 300-350hp and I'll be happy.

Not gonna happen in your budget.

That's $700 I'm holding off unfortunately..

and I kinda do like the sound. It growing on me more so I may just keep it that way.

Oh cool. Well if your doing the TT&L in OK enjoy the daily fee they are charging you every day after 30.
And unless you paid about $22k for the car, there is no way it's going to be $700.

[Mike]

I have been known to let some shit expire though.

Understatement of the week.

[SonicblueGT03]

Yup.

I just wanna see it run. I bought a new one in '90, but I loaded it down with stereo gear (12 - 15" woofers, 1600 watts, etc). Been wanting to find one again and do the swap.

Car was bought in Oklahoma and brought to DFW. I was already told $700 to register it because of sales tax. Car is being registered here btw.

It wouldn't be hard to hit 300hp. Do a PI swap, headers, exhaust, CAI and I'd be pretty damn close to 300hp if not there.

A ton of work for so little performance.

[SN95Jones]

Not really. 225hp stock, PI swap will bring it up to 260hp, headers exhaust and CAI would bump it to 300hp not alot of work for a considerate about of hp gain. That's almost a 100hp gain for something that could be done in a weekend. I would say that would be money well spent.

[SonicblueGT03]

LOL at quoting rated hp. That 260hp is actually more like 200 at the wheels. My '03 GT, with a P1, a good tune, and all the supporting mods, made 380 at the wheels.

[SN95Jones]

LOL at 200 at the wheels.... You think you lose 60hp from the flywheel to the wheels? LOL!! You're crazy.
I never said 260hp to the wheels I just said 260hp.... and 99% of the time if I'm talking hp numbers I'm talking to the crank not the wheels.

I've done the swap before on a friends mustang. It went from embarrassingly slow to disappointing slow. But you're young and I'm sure it would be a learning experience and rewarding. I would just put a blower on it and call it a day.

[SN95Jones]

I'm not THAT young I mean compared to most people on here yeah probably but being in my 20's though...
Anyways I've thought about a blower but I hear nothing but bad things when adding a blower to these 2V's
