I had flowmasters on my 94 GT. Finally went to a full Mac setup and couldn't be more happy. Big difference in power and a killer sound. I did drop my cats and went with the prochamber from Mac at the same time though. The Stainless mac mufflers are a thing of beauty. Your car will sound like no other.</P>

just to let you know the ford wires are just terrible..a set of msd or holley is the way to go ..you want the plug wire with the least resist..meaning more juice to the plug...an msd6 or a jacobs is the way to go..also only use a dist cap with brass terminals for better conduction..installing a electric fan would be the way as it will free up some hp and won;t have the whine of the flex fan...and will help your water pump last longer as it won't be carring the wt. of it..

mac makes good products and are at a good price if you show around ..a good 2.5 exhuast system will help free a few ponies up..so would a set of equal length headers<edited><editID>vfast</editID><editDate>37999.4716898148</editDate></edited>

Well looks like a MAC Pro Chamber, they are shipped free from Rochester NY for $214.00 on Ebay so looks like a good price and heard lots of raves about them.</P>


Not sure what kind of headers I have got on my 89 GT but I will take a chance on shortys, if I need long ones I will buy them, I have already purchased the Ford Racing Wires/Cap/Rotor so for right now I will just use them for one season.</P>


I might as well buy the coil too as its a great price and I am not just running a stock setup, thanks for your comments, it really helps out....Limey</P>

I'm sure you know the prochamber is a off road pipe that replaces the cats. Not smog legal. We don't have air testing where I live so it doesn't matter. Big difference in power and sound.</P>

No testing in Vancouver is there?

Keep the stock h pipe for swapping back on if there is.

is it three years? I thought it was 5 years.

But I didn't think that they did emissions testing in Vancouver. I thought it was just Seattle metro/ parts of king, pierce, snohomish counties as well as Spokane


I know up here we don't have any sort of testing.

Yeah it sucks to be so close to Oregon (The Wacko State), tree huggers and dope farmers everywhere!!!.</P>


</P>


So I went to a Performance shop today to try and get a Bumper cover, I would prefur a Cobra style (allows tips to show) but if anybody has any ideas where I can order one online let me know!!...Thanks again</P>
