Got my k&n intake installed. All in all really happy with it. Really easy to install. looks great. I got the typhoon one which has the polished aluminum tube which is supposed to be a little louder than the plastic tube one. Makes a nice difference in sound. Really good sound in upper rpms...

I did fire it up before i put the magnaflows on and it was raspy and cackled too much for my liking. It wasn't overly loud though. After magnaflows it was a nice crisp rumble (more of a purr actually) After 3000 rpms wind and motor noise take over and can't hardly hear the exhaust anymore. Which...

I just did the same thing but with magnaflows. Stock tips like you did. Sounds good. I just wish it was a little louder. Im afraid if i take out the resonators ill get some drone. And i don't want that. Im not going for a loud exhaust. I have a k&n intake thats going on tomorrow so ill see if...

I would definately get an mks with the ecoboost and all wheel drive. Just wish it was a rear wheel drive platform.

I just bought an 05 and its like this. The dealership is taking care of it. The glass is not replacable. They are having a local glass shop put one on it cause it is a lot cheaper then buying the hole unit. Im kind of skeptical how well the adhesive will hold cause of the heat. I didn't realize...

Ok makes sense now. Thanks for the explanation. Its really appreciated. Im the kind of person that doesn't want to just be told you cant do it. I want to know why. Thanks again. Looks like i will just stick with the stock exhaust and replace the mufflers with some magnaflows and do a cai.

Yea it probably is getting ripped off but the factory rips you off when they sell them. Next time i scrap some cats i might have to look around some more. If i put the sensors back in the exhaust if i take the cats out i don't see how the oxygen levels would change. I didn't think cats took...

Thanks for the reply's. On scrapping the cats the place i go to is only 15 minutes away and i don't live close to any big citys. The last time i brought one in that size thats about how much i got. Scrap is up a bit now so it might be more than that. Its not worth it to drive real far just to...

I do plan on doing a complet k&n intake and the magnaflows in place of the stock mufflers. Maybe eventuallyan sct. I do realize that after replacing the mufflers the cats are the biggest restriction in the exhaust system. If i can do it for 40 bucks worth of pipe or less and it gains even the...

I have searched but i did not find exactly what i wanted. Can you take the cats off of an ls and not throw any codes. Im wanting a cheap way to let the engine breath a little more and maybe pick up some mpg's. I can do it myself i just want to make sure its not going to screw anything up. Its an...

Thanks, ill have to do that. I haven't had time to mess around with it yet. Just thought i would get on here so i know where to look first.

Hello new here been reading on here fro a bit though. I just got a 05 LS. My problem is that my factory subs (if thats what you call them) cut in and out on me. If you have the volume up too loud or the bass up too loud they will stop working then sometimes they will kick back in. As far as i...
