Kit Dual Just putting a Mustang V6 Dual Exhaust Adapter Kit on my V6 95 Mustang what will that do to it?
If I install this onto my V6 Mustang what will it do to it
Modest gains in power, but...
Please note: you do not have a V8. therefore you do not have an out of sync cylinder that causes pulses in the exhaust gasses. You can save money by having an exhaust shop cut behind your converters and use straight pipes (no crossover, you do not require one). As long as the converters are not touched it is 50 state legal. If you want it to be nicer (less vibration in the cabin) be sure to get the additional ford exhaust hanger. Unless you added sound proofing to the floor I would suggest dual chamber mufflers, otherwise the sound inside the cabin will drastically increase. Dual chambers also stop the ostentatious farty exhaust tone common among modified cars of other national origins.
The straight pipes method is often better than the conversion kits, many of which are only quasi-dual exhaust.
The kits with a crossover charge you hundreds more for performance they don't produce-because they literally do nothing to a car that lacks an out of sync cylinder.
This is what I did. I have an 01 that is heavily modified. The pipes were not the biggest power boost but they did make other aftermarket mods possible. I spent less than $300 dollars for a true dual exhaust (parts and install), every kit I have seen cost more for just the parts.
When you choose to spend on your car after you have bought it, you will be faced with a choice of buying products that improve the looks or buying products that improve the performance. With a limited budget you may feel you will be able to manage only one or the other. But wait, there are products that do both. Listed below are some products that enhance the looks and improve the performance.
Body kits are mostly used to enhance the looks of the car. But some components like car spoilers do enhance the aerodynamics. Performance body kits will give you the dual benefit of better looks and better performance.
A cold air intake also serves a dual purpose. Though primarily it improves engine performance by reaching more oxygen to it, the air intake via say a hood scoop gives your car a racing car look. The cold air intake also gives your car a great deep roaring sound which enhances its appeal.
Then you have projector headlights. These lights light up the road more brightly at night and they give your car a great look. Since the headlights are one of the most visible features of the car they have a great positive impact on the looks of your car. Similarly some tail lights also light up brightly at night making your drive safer. And these tail lights give your car stunning looks as well.
Lowering springs also enhance the looks by giving your car a low slung racing car look. You will have noticed sports cars are usually low slung and hug the road as they cruise along. Although their primary purpose is to improve the handling, response and stability by lowering the center of gravity of your car.
Fog light make your car look like a professional car that is ready for anything. They set you apart from the stock car others buy from the showroom. Though of course the real purpose of fog lights is to help you see better when the visibility is poor.
Doing up your car is great fun and if you do it wisely you will get great value as well. You can find a wide range of the latest car aftermarket products at www.ilovebodykits.com.

Kit Snowmobile I have an 1996 EzGo Electric cart that I am converting to gas and putting a Bombdier 500 snowmobile motor in.?
I have a 6" lift kit on the cart with 23" tires. I am in need of space for the new motor. Should the motor go in from the bottom and build the motor mounts or do the "I" beames get cut some? Any help would be great. Thanks

Go to maps.google.com. Click on "Find Businesses." Type in "Snowmobile" as the business and "Barrie, Ontario" as the location. This will give you several results on snowmobile retailers and their locations.

Check your driver and passenger foot wells to see if they are wet, if so, you could a a leaking fan matrix.
How to Install an Oil Cooler on an Air Cooled VW Engine
1996 Ford Windstar Coolant Leak?
I've got a 1996 Ford Windstar with a recon engine only a year old. The car idles perfectly, even drives perfectly, but white smoke comes from the engine beneath the hood (which smells funny, almost like burnt plastic, but not quite). When starting the car two days ago and idling it in place waiting for the engine to warm up, not quite watery green liquid started leaking onto the road from below the engine. But the engine still ran fine, no sputtering, nothing. The coolant tank was bone dry. The engine light never came on, the oil light never came on - the only light that ever came on - intermittently - was the battery light. Does this sound like a blown head gasket or a damaged intake? What do I look for should I get beneath the car? Is it possible that there is just a plug or something that's fallen out resulting in a coolant leak? Busted pipes? If anyone can help it will be great!
Head gasket leak? NO!! That only applies to 1995 model year engines. 1996 to 1998 model year engines were prone to failing upper and lower intake gaskets, as well timing cover gaskets. The intake gaskets were more common, however. The gasket kit from Ford (part number F68Z-9433-C) which includes EVERYTHING needed costs about $80.00 These are updated THICKER gaskets which will reduce the likelihood of further failure. Expect to pay about 6 hours in labour plus oil change and coolant, both of which are required for the repair. Do you still have warranty on the reconditioned engine? If so, I would have the place that installed it, to do the repair. Hope this helps.
