There is the Blinker Fluid mod, you get rid of the extra Resivoir that it comes with from the Factory, and it drops 20 lbs. You change out the Exhaust Bearings and that will get you about .10 in the quarter. There is a couple more, I forgot what they were..I think one was switching the AC into the Intake for cooler Air..

It's so funny, that Ford did it on their 00+ Lightnings. You could store up a charge, and it would blast the intake (not inside but through passages) with quite cold air.

If you found Bearings in your Exhaust then you have some larger problems..

i got one, just disconnect the exhaust right after the cat get the exhaust pipe out of the way so you got a clear view of inside the cat

then take a crow bar and poke the inside of the cat but really hard so that your bashing its internals once you have completly destroyed the inside of your cat thy to scoop out what is left of your cat

then just start your car then what ever is left of your cat will get blown out by exhaust then shut the car see if any bit of the cat is left if so repeat the process so you completly gut your cat then when done just put it back together

then drive and feel the dif.!!

Or you can take a Cat, cut it in half, gut it, and weld the Shell of it on your Exhaust and make it look like a Cat.
Better one we used to do with Cats.. it's a little more work though.
If anyone asks, it's a High-flow..

+2 And maybe try to find a shorty (really short) glass pack or resonator to help keep the original sound. From what I've been reading, most people complain about the sound of the exhaust when they've taken out the Cat.

I know in my old 94 Park Ave, once we removed it, sounded like it had a flowmaster. VERY tinny. The trade off, since it was clogged, was another 60miles per tank (**** you not heh)

free mods are a ****** joke PLus nothings free.... take off your sway bar... it then hooks better but you pay with handling... Cutting all the extra weight and **** off your car (usually means taking **** like a/c off and the daily **** you use)...

deleting emissions is not a "performance mod"... jsut a lil weight and room.


i never wasted my time with free mods... i jsut saved my money and did it all while i was in there doing the turbo..
