With some good money coming at the end of October, I wanted to start moddin' up the Mark. The car is a daily driver through all seasons, so I am pretty sure I don't want to do gears til prolly early early spring of next year.
I thought completing the exhaust will give it a bit of extra power. As of now I have a 2.5" exhaust with a single X-pipe ending out of Magnaflow SS mufflers. I plan to throw on some Kooks coated headers with SCP high flow cats, while keeping the X-pipe and possibly the Magnaflows. I may decide to throw on the LMS SS mufflers with the single oval tips, since the maganflows are about 2 years old and alittle fcuked up .
While doing the exhaust, I'm going to throw on some new o2 sensors. I need some help finding some good o2 sensors for a good price, any suggestions ?
I would like to do the exhaust do have that extra sound and additional power. I thought about spending the money on some nice chrome 18's and possibly 13" rotors with Cobra calipers for up front, but I just recently threw on some g-force KDW tires and spent an arm and a leg for em'.
As far as gears go.. I would love to have em, but the car in the winter sucks as it is, now I think what it would be with 4.10's and it's not a pretty sight. That would then include buying new ultimate snow tires for daily driving for the winter.
So i'm guessing headers-back along with a few other minor mods and tweeks will have to do. Possibly throwing on a ported Cobra intake manifold with the headers, and I'll have a good increase in power. So until then....
some feedback on good o2 sensors and other suggestions for the exhaust will help. I thought about removing the magnaflows for some bullet/magnapack mufflers like MonsterMark and BlackIceLSC put on for less restriction, but the muffs might be good for back pressure. I don't want any popping or annoying sounds for the exhaust.
Sorry for the long post, just had to get some further info to try and make this happen for myself.

Also, Geno keep me posted whenever you do the group buy for the headers.
I didn't hear much about it, so what type of headers are they going to be ?
Kooks coated midlengths ? Keep us posted.

Are you gong to do some intake mods? If not headers are for looks only, there are no big gains unless your going to throw a blower on. Better off getting some 03/04 OEM Cobra manifolds if you want to save some cash while adding some performance. Just my 2 cents.
