I looked under my hood , and i don't have the hilighted piece, instead theres a big black rectangular shaped piece of plastic that says FORD on it, same thing ?
Is a Flowmaster 40 Series Delta Flow the best muffler to get (I think it has 2.5" in , 2.25" out) , I'm just looking to get a good sound , and if possible power/performance gain. Oh, so no cat system = the way to go ?
Just bring the car down to your local muffler shop and get them to chop the cat off and replace it with a pipe. If you have no mecanical skills just get them to put on a cherry bomb muffler.. It gives a great sound, flows great, and looks good! Its also cheaper then a normal muffler, its only 30$ canadian. like probally 15-20 american. You wont be disappointed.

Oh and about the air silencer yea thats the one! I had the same one on mine. Just take it off, take a knife and gut the insides. The insides will look like a cheese grader (sorta) but all plastic, thats what you need to gut. Its simple, then just rip it out!

Well, even if you gut it, it will still hurt flow Black because of the chamber expanding so much larger than the rest. Remove it completely and replace it with the appropriate sized PCV tube. It will cost a few bucks from Home Depot etc. They even sell rubber plunbing connectors and reducers if you need. This will provide a smooth straight flow path. I will post a pic later.
Don't go too large on the exhaust. 2-2.25 inch max unless you are going Turbo. A large pipe will kill backpressure and bottom end torque. The factory pipe is like 1.5". Eliminating the cat will add a huge amount of flow by itself.
The Flow is a good muffler as is the Flowtech Terminator (on our car) or if you want more sound, take Black's suggestion.
Also, the Ranger exhaust manifold I mentioned is a factory tube steel header.
MASS air came in 91 and later cars. It is only "necessary" to convert to it if your car is heavily modded but it is supposed to be worth 17 hp and a lot of guys say the 2.3 really responds to mass air conversion.
The bad thing about it is that I have not found one that has a distributor so you may have to take the DIS and pull your distributor at the same time. I have recently obtaind everything except the DIS and will try the conversion soon.
Ya, that intake mod is exactly what I want, what size K&N filter do you put on ? So you guys are saying the cherry bomb sounds better, or louder, or both ?
I have it on my car, It sounds loud, with a performance sound to it. When I first installed it, I went burning rubber just for the hell of it.. It makes your car seem faster then it really is!

I talked to a guy today , that will be doing a custom exhaust + intake for me. Now for the intake, inside the cover of the air box (that will be taken out), there's this circle sensor i guess it is. Is this important ? What's the best way to go about it ?
I am only 16 and have a great 1991 mustang, however it is a 4-banger. My friends dont have mustang fever like me so they dont see the car as much since their cars are faster. (Grand AM, Taurus, Sonoma). I would have a 5.0 but my parents wouldnt allow it. So I want to modifiy the car to have decent speed. I dont need it to be as fast as a 5.0 of course, I just want to speed it up a bit. Where do i begin???????
Do you have any idea how many posts pretty much Exactly like this there are? Meh oh well.. First remove your air silencer.. Look in another post for that. Dis connect your knock sensor... Also another post.. Get a new muffler, and a header from a 96 ranger.. Tube header.. Other posts.. Depending on your budget.. Maybe a performance street cam.. and if you really want to spend money.. Perhaps an oval port allumium head.. Not cheap! can get up to around 2000-5000 american. You really came to the right place for your mods. But sorry im too lazy to repeat all of those topics.. But they are easy to find, because they have been said many times.. Good luck, just IM a mod, or myself if you have any more questions..

Since when has a sonoma, and a taurus been "much" faster cars then a 2.3 mustang.. man that car has a bad rep.. Maybe its because I haven't been driving a stock one for a while.. (Getting to my head)!
