Replying to: brooksit2002 (Jan 31, 2006 1:47 pm) :-0 Best tip I could give you is that if you want a big block Chevy sound, buy a big block Chevy and get rid of the Nissan Hey, I'm kidding...don't know if there is any way to change the exhaust sound of that Nissan that much.
#33 of 90 Dual exhaust for a 99 Taurus by spinner2 Feb 02, 2006 (3:32 pm)
I just purchased a 99 Taurus SE with the 24 valve Duratec motor. Form all accounts it should have dual exhaust, but it only has a single exhaust. The muffler and pipes appear to be original as the car only has 69K miles. My question is, were there Taurus's built with 24 valve motor and single exhaust? To go dual exhaust do you have to replace the whole system or does it split after the cat convertor?    2nd question, same car. The car has ABS but drum brakes on the rear. (Has the ABS logo on the window?) From what I read all Taurus's with ABS had discs on all 4 corners.    3rd and final question. Is 24 valve Duratec 185 or 200 horse? Depending where you read you see it both ways.                              Thanx for any info,                               Spinner Replies to this message: explorerx4 (Dec 05, 2006 7:01 pm)

Replying to: brooksit2002 (Jan 30, 2006 5:16 pm) Hate to break this to you but you will never get a mellow V-8 sound out of that Nissan. Tips will do nothing.   The best sound of all was an old six cylinder Chevy with a split manifold. Straight pipe on one side and an 18" glass pack on the other!

Replying to: jeremiah1 (Oct 30, 2005 2:49 pm) they can test the system without the converter.With a test peice.Price should be cheeper with your new muffler. Take your car back to the same shop. Mabey they can do a package deal because of your new muffler. Your car isnt worth much without a properly functioning converter. Cars ara hard to sell that way. Fix the problem then sell it quick.

Replying to: allday82 (Mar 02, 2006 2:52 am) You can buy a test pipe but it would be illegal to use it permanently on the street. I don't think any shop would permanently install one for you.

#40 of 90 Exhaust Reflow Problem by saltypaw Apr 14, 2006 (7:45 am)
I have a Saturn 2001 SC1, the service engine soon light has come on. I had the local parts store run a computer scan on the problem. It indicated it is a reflow problem. What needs to be done to the system? Thanks
