Message:
I did my first mod yesterday.
http://modernmusclecars.net/articles/coldair/index.html
This was the site I used for reference, everything went ok without any problems. The only thing that sucked was I could not find abs pipe, I could only find pvc. I know there's problems with them melting so as it gets warmer I'll keep checking on it. I drove 30 miles (highway) to work today, ya on a Sunday, checked it as soon as I got here, and it was...... uhh luke warm (about). I'll take pics as soon as I get it painted, right now it's white, and looks kinda funny. Almost everyone I tell starts laughing when I tell them I'm using pvc pipe, and there comment is, "well if anything goes wrong with the plumbing at least we know where we can get something to fix it".
I like the sound of it, sounds like a mustang with flowmasters under the hood.
Cost wasn't too bad under $80
I also like the fact that there was no hacking involved, if I want to, I can always take it back to original.
It was very easy, trimming the pvc pipe had to be about the hardest part
I think it looks hideous under the hood though, I prefer the stock look over pvc plumbing.
all and all I give it an 8 out out 10 on the "worth doing scale"

It keeps a guy busy anyways. Love the sound I don't remember a big increase in power though. Sets you up for some good mods later.

Hey CW, I have a 2002 4.7L (In the US if that matters) I was thinking of doing an exhaust, which would be best for performance and sound. I live in Michigan with no emissions testing what so ever, so which exhaust would best to complement my new intake setup (performance & sound wise) I like it loud without sounding like sh!t. Also if duals are the way to go, is there a setup where the tips are more like a stang or camaro, (almost at the edge of bumpers as opposed to under the licence plates) I like them to be separated a bit.

Nope they aound way different up north can't help ya.j/k That is more up to personal taste. I am pretty sure mine is a original 40 series muffler and I got rid of the third cat which helped sound alot. It growls and is very deep sounding. I quite like it. Haven't really heard much of anything else though.
