    For your exhaust, stick with stainless if you want it to last. They're more expensive but Flowmaster Super 44's aren't bad if you want to stay with the chambered style. The smallest they come is 2.25" in/out so a shop will have to expand your pipes to get the muffler to slip over without too much space.

      Hey guys. So I got new shoes on the baby and she rides so much better now. Someone mentioned a conversion to the 98-02 brakes but for the life of me I cannot find a thread on it. It is time for new front brakes, so I would figure I could do the swap and confuse the hell out of a repair shop later down the road. Also, are spark plugs on this thing difficult to change? I got a couple of quotes and they put a spark plug change at 300+

        Here is the thread about the brake upgrade



        It is more involved than just slapping on bigger rotors. Also requires 16" wheels.

          Hey guys, is this the correct lincoln wheels or are these mercury wheels?

            I think they were used on both with appropriate center caps.

              Hey guys thanks for all the help you have been giving me. I have a couple of questions performance related. #1. Valve seals. How would I go about replacing these? Also where would the cost of these run at? #2. While the heads are off what should all be done with them? Would PI cams fit in the older heads? Would just the cams and intake manifold see any gains or do I need the heads as well? I have some disbursement from student loans (that I don't have to pay back) and I wanted to give it a little more ass.

                Is this what you mean? : http://www.crownvic.net/ubbthreads/u...58#Post1150358

                My Town Car wants this as well. It won't get it, but it wants it all the same!

                I think those wheels were a Lincoln only rim option.

                Do you have any interior photos? Would love to see more of it.

                  Hey guys, what would a dirty maf sensor look like?

                  On this wonderful four day weekend I am going to attempt to install my glass packs and I am going to try to remove the silencer in air intake. How would I go about removing the silencer?

                      Hey guys, sorry the college internet ate it. So I have been noticing a slight studder between 3-4. If you lay into it, it shifts just fine. But if you are at low throttle it does not like it. In other notes at 60 I cannot hear the glasspacks, although you can definitely hear them if you let the car wind out.

                      Here are the interior pics of the car

                        So I have been doing research for the better part of forever on what the best parts would be to throw on the old boat. I think what I want is the PI intake, 80mm MAF and airbox, a tune, electric fan, underdrive pulleys, and 3.23 rear gears w/trac loc. Any opinions? 240 crank hp with that combo or am I still a little short? I would be doing the PI intake, MAF, and gears first (and at once) so I can get the tune and have a driving car. The pulleys and fan can be added at a later time

                        Bonus picture time, here are my glasspacks. I took pictures laying on the street, so sorry they are so crappy.

                            Nice, that's my favorite color interior. Looks to be in good condition overall, too.

                              The excessive amount of cup holders makes me question what you're drinking and why you need so many drinks available at once..

                              That is how you're supposed to jack it.

                                The interior is in pretty good shape. Still really comfortable. The amount of cupholders is because the middle tray holds my cellphone when it is plugged into the stereo, the arm rest ones hold the 32 oz drinks and my center console one is for 44-52oz drinks/knick knacks. Honestly I just like to have everything available whenever I need to use it. Plus my glasses case takes up too much room in the passenger armrest to have the cup holder folded in, and only having one unfolded looks goofy
