Thumbs up we're all family here...

I hope that you found the site helpful... Have you considered a free-flow exhaust/muffler??? Give Flowmaster and Dynomax a try... I'm still confused on which one to go with, but the mufflers are both great... I also recieved a catalog from FM that has some great universal Delta Flow series...

The one for the SUV is the 50 series perf. muffler and the Delta Flow 50 and 70 series. I've used FM on our 300ZX n/a and tt.

I'm still waiting on some more info from Dynomax... On the forum SC400Nos runs DM. On the thread "Exhaust H.P. gains" there is more info... Good luck...

Thumbs up what did you think about the site???

Give Flowmaster a call to their tech lines at 800-544-4761 or dynomax 800-594-9815...

Did you check out the site or the sc forum about exhaust/sounds gains concerning intake and muffler ideas???

As for the K&N I use a cone filter and adapter plate... I've used them for years... For a few bucks you could enhance the sound and hp or your Lex...

Yes, on the www.speedandstyle.com there were plenty of intake MAF adapter plates, filters, aluminum intake piping/fittings etc... very good prices... They also have a 800#...

Just find a good muffler shop and you are on your way...
Hey don't forget about a nice stainless steel tip... I have 3 1/2" Brosals...

And on the SC forum or the LS forum, check out the threads.......

Default Thanks Ikon

Yea, I saw the threads, it said make your own intake, and had a link? I must have missed it because I saw nothing of that nature on the site. Oh and what type of gains can I expect? Thank Ikon, I appreciate it.
